Maryellen Larkin and Baby Peggy

Peggy:
I was thinking of altering the Raon mesh a bit as it looked a bit too unkempt compared to Peg's, but what do you guys think?

Alright, I'll keep that in mind. 
And yup, as what I can attest ingame, CAS tends to sparkle it up with different shaders for sims compared to the ones used in normal gameplay.

Excuse for the bump, but here's Peggy ingame along with an IRL publicity photo of her:

So, I was wondering a bit about the sliders available when creating children, because I'm afraid I think the two girls you're showing are very similar, apart from the styling. So I made a pot of coffee and booted Sims up. I haven't done a lot, I was mostly curious about the mouth bit. The CAS shot is cr.... ehm... not very good, because I couldn't get screenshots to work. The two pictures are to show, that in-game shots really are needed. Anyway, I mostly fiddled with upper lip thickness, mouth definition and ...ehm...upper lip definition? Sorry, I already forgot the name of that one. Particularly the mouth definition helps a lot.
Anyway, I hope it's helpful? Looking forward to seeing how it will develop

Well, unfortunately I work with MC set to fiddle with multipliers, so I don't think my settings will be very useful for you. Can you do some ingame headshots?(Preferable better lit than my sad excuse for a headshot 
)

The MC set? Are you referring to a certain core hack or something? As for ingame screenshots of the sims in question, here's a pair which I took off Peggy:
And yes, I'm looking for a septum/lower nose slider so that I can better adjust it to account for the IRL person's nasal features. So far AWT's didn't do the trick for me. I'll post some more pics of Maryellen once I set her family up asap.

Ahh, thought you were referring to some other core mod. As for side-by-side pics, I couldn't find a really, REALLY neutral reference pic of Peg atm, so we'll settle with this for now:
If you have any suggestions on how to make her face look less generic, please please please let me know.

Everything Simmy said
Neutral expressions is also needed for the best sculpt, since Sims have complete rubber-faces
While the lips definitely look better, I would still suggest making the mouth less wide, especially the lower lip.
Looking forward to it

I'm not sure what to tell you about the nose. Perhaps others will have ideas. Sorry to be picky but the best comparison sim shots are inside pictures with lots of light and a neutral background. Thanks for having an in-game and reference photo in the same post. It's very helpful. Good work! |

You're welcome, and true, 'tis hard to find a relatively neutral pic of her. I might re-watch the documentary I have to see if it has some decent pictures e.g. from her vaudeville days and whatnot. Peggy has a flat septum afaik, and that's generally my biggest beef with TS3 as I couldn't seem to adjust it directly.

It's very hard to tell from CAS, but I think the brows and the mouth still need work.
Again, it's hard with very emoted comparison pictures, but it seems her brows are more straight. Maybe even a different set of brows?
Peggy's lips are thick in the middle, but slim on the sides - also she has a very narrow mouth, so I think some of that can be fiddled with

The lips are more or less average the last time I looked into her pics; she seems to be doing a kissy-lips expression hence why it looks so unusually short:
Oh, and since you asked for some more ingame shots, here's an imgur gallery I took just recently: http://imgur.com/a/uqzGB#0
I was also wondering how can I adjust the septum on my Sims' noses; it's been bugging me to no end lately especially with kids, as I couldn't get AWT's mod to work on them.

Care to elaborate about "almost folded"? As for the side profile, here's a quick shot of Sim!Peggy and IRL:
The chin needs a bit of work, but at least I managed. Same goes with the sputum, hence why I badly needed some help on it.

The eye bottom seems to be more uprising, it looks slightly flat now, and the nose should be more "upward", the brows should be closer to the eyes.
Good work!!
Good work!!
