[sevenskellington]

Check out the game here if you'd like to try guessing first.

1A - Erin Singles

1B - Brandi Broke
1C - Bella Goth (Strangetown)
1D - Rainelle Neengia (dead)

1E - Jon Smith Tricou (aged down/dead)
1F - Ripp Grunt (aged up)
1G - Ajay Loner
1H - Kvornan Tricou (dead)

2A - John Burb
2B - Kiernen Tricou (dead)
2C - Don Lothario
2D - Mortimer Goth (aged down)

2E - Bella Goth (Pleasantview)
2F - Lola/Chloe Singles
2G - Jenny Smith
2H - Lucy Burb (aged up)

A - Alexander Goth (aged up)

B - Goopy Gilscarbo (townie) (These two are impossible to tell apart from the pictures. There are some tiny differences if you click between them, but even looking right at that I couldn't tell you which is which.)

C - Mary Sue Pleasant
D - Meadow Thayer (aged up, townie)

E - Circe Beaker

F - Ophelia Nigmos (aged up)
G - Cassandra Goth
H - Kaylynn Langerak (npc)

I - Titania Summerdream

J - Jennicor Tricou (aged down, couple of big clues ^_~)
K - Nina Caliente
L - Dina Caliente

Some notes:

• A lot of these are much more distinct from their templates than I gave them credit for, particularly the face 2s. I was originally going to include Jennifer, but I went with Lucy instead because she is closer to the template.


• Dina and Nina look more alike to me this way than they usually do.


• I included the Tricou boys because I wanted some more templatey looking people to compare against, but even they are not straight face 1s and 2s as I originally thought, as they have larger eyes and fuller lips.


• It seems Rainelle was the easiest to guess. I wonder why. :P


• I was surprised that not many people were able to guess Don, I guess because facial hair makes a huge impact on a person's appearance. Also, it seems Circe is much harder to recognize without her glasses.


• A lot of people guessed Marsha Bruenig for Ophelia and Circe, which is not far off because they are all based on the same template; the last one in the catalog. This is also the same template as the Mr. Big downtownie and John Mole.

I missed Lucy! But as you said, I wasn't looking for someone aged up in that case. I thought that seem more templatey than Jennifer (she's not hugely altered, but altered a little on most features).

I agree 100% on facial hair. Most of the more elaborate styles seem to have been designed with changing/creating facial features in mind (in rl, I mean.

The only difference between Marsha and Ophelia is that Phi has thinner eyebrows, but that would be nearly impossible to see here, as they have none. I think that template looks quite different on a male, with the craggy jawline. Unless you'd been studying them in CAS/Bodyshop or have been breeding those sims, I doubt many would spot that Ophelia and John Mole were based on the same face.

I'd know Circe anywhere. :P

I'd always thought of Jennifer as a boring face 2 who looks too much as Bella, but she turned out to be just different enough that I threw her out of the game.

I was completely unfamiliar with that last template until I started using Mr. Big for my story. One day I took him into bodyshop to experiment and suddenly...eek, Circe!

So why do you think the Tricous/Rainelle have big eyes?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's not really a very exciting theory. I think they've been designed with their appearance as ghosts in mind, and the big eyes are more frightened/menacing looking, or just easy to see in general on a ghost.

I have always thought this about Rainelle especially, because she died by fright (from moving into a very haunted house, I assume, based on the furniture there when you first load up the lot). Rainelle's face looks to me like a permanent expression of terror/unhappiness. Good qualities for a ghost haunting because she was frightened to death.

The lack of originality in making Cassandra and Alex's faces really annoys me :/ All they had to do was hit 'make baby' in CAS with Morty and Bella and ta da, unique babies everytime! Worst thing is, they're big characters too, not NPCs or townies, whose similarity to others characters might go amiss.

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

Yeah and it's just an odd choice to have Cassandra look so much like the maid who's having an affair with her fiance and best friend's husband. When people use defaults with a lighter S3 and they take off Cass's glasses and let her hair down, sometimes I mix them up.

Alex and Goopy Similarities...

Maybe Bella was sneakin' round with the Goopster! :O

[lionspau.livejournal.com]

Do you think that maybe the reason Cassandra and Alex look so generic is because Bella was slumming it with some townies... (perhaps Goopy needs an alibi).

[simmedy.livejournal.com]

Nooo, never, although it has been considered ;) But I know Bella would never cheat on Morty, it's true love right there ladies and gents.

This has finally made me see the difference between the two Bella Goths. I always thought people were overstating it before, but they really are very different.

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I used to think that too before I really looked at them together.

Cool!

That was not only fun, but it was interesting and educational. Thanks!

Glad you think so!

The most easily recognized for me were Rainelle Neengia, Ajay Loner, Titania Summerdream and Lola/Chloe Singles. Rainelle and the Singles girls gave it away with their eyes. Ajay and Titania were outed by their jaw-lines.

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

Titania's got a seriously pointy chin! Sometimes she looks really weird to me and other times she looks weirdly more "real" than other sims do. I think it might be the smaller eyes make her look less cartoony.

Saw this tonight and was very surprised by everything. But mostly I wanted to say thank you for creating such a visual and informative post, lots of info to ponder.
