In the Sims 2 community there’s a certain maxis face preset that’s considered by many to be the ugliest preset, but literally it’s just a very non-Eurocentric face: it has the widest and thickest nose and lips of any of the other presets, and I also think it has the chubbiest cheeks/face.

I know there’s been modern criticism of Maxis’ lack of race and body diversity in CAS and a few other problematic instances in the Sims 2, but for the most part I think they remedied that in the later games.

When it comes to the sims 2 community though, it is disappointing to see these ideas about beauty still floating around today. No one can stop people from playing their games how they like, but imo at this age and point in time it’s worthwhile to at least question why you think certain features are funny or ugly looking.

#I’ve seen that preset so many times on my dash this week #I think this every time I see memes about the preset or people making fun of it in their gameplays but I usually just quietly unfollow #it reminds me of those tiktok trends with the “long face filter and the hooked nose filter #like why make fun of features that are considered average within non European ethnic groups #ts2
