you're sims are so well designed! idk if this makes sense but you make your sims skin look like real skin? the details are incredible. Are there skin details that you have to add on all your sims or is it just making them based off Vibes(tm)?
thank you so much, and thanks for asking!!! i always try to make my sims feel realistic and individualistic. but anyway, here's a small little tutorial with lots of links! (pardon the blurry pics.. I don't have the patience to do this all in srwe)
1. skin overlays... these are really the key to getting realistic skin. here's some of my favs on a random base sim
Tumblr media
sasha skin | michelle skin (my fav)
skin n24 | bronx skin
and i didn't include pics of male skin overlays..but i almost exclusively use this skin for guys

2. eyebags/dark circles. I use this specific one on almost every sim I make. though, I recommend looking through any of obscurus' old eyebag cc
here's a before and after
Tumblr media Tumblr media
eyebags 6
~~~~~
3. hairlines! idk if this counts in what you were asking for but I think hairlines really help sims look more realistic. again, here's some favs
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
qwerty | hairline n1 | hairline n2
~~~~~
4. highlights/perspiration. just some extra shimmer to your sims face. it might make your sim look oily or sweaty so it doesnt look great on them all, but I think it helps with realism
Tumblr media Tumblr media
highlight #30 (early access) | highlighter n2 3D
~~~~~
okay so here's a before and after:
before only has skin blend on, after has everything else added on + this skin undertone

I think both options are fine but I usually add all these things to my sims. so..idk I hoped this helped at least a little bit

it also helps to add stuff like freckles, moles, and acne scars. if you want additional links for stuff like that, just ask:) really if you have questions about anything else just ask because im glad to help and share my secrets lol
for more alpha skin details i 1000% recommend skimming through @obscurus-sims 's old cc, as well as @sims3melancholic 's old stuff. but! their new maxis match stuff is awesome too!!!
