how comes Megan is the hardest to get likeness to capture ? :/
honestly there is nothing I can tell you to change sculpting features wise, and I always have something to say. so that's saying alot... I'm sorry i can't help more

I see some of her likeness with the ref pic but not all the way, you know?
I'm suppost to be like that's Megan fox right away

It's pretty much down to types of facial skins your using. go through some to find a more softer skintone maybe like empheras
the poses and picturesare spot on . all the CC is perfect. expect the skin.


*edit*: perhaps you can raise the bridge height up more it looks like its pushed into her face a bit

FREEDOM_55, that was a really good idea to change facial skin, I found suitable one on Evie's site) Also I put sim to well-lit room for better comparing:


Actually I'm worrying about her nose... Does anyone know where I can find some more nose sliders? (except AWT's septum width & height, b'koz I already have them )

Her nose would look better if you would raise her nostrils

I know this is nit-picky, and not where you are in this sculpt, but what if you lightened her hair some? There is something about this sim that is overly dark...just IMO

Ok guys, in last few days I made a lot of changes:

1) I made eyes a little wider
2) I painted an eyeliner for her
3) I painted an eyeshadow on upper eyelid
4) I made her hair a bit lighter
5) Also I tried to make some changes for her nose but not enough I think (or enough - dont know)
6) and the last thing is that I changed the teeth in lipstick so that they seem whiter.

Comparing screenshots:


Her screenshots in game are in Attach Files. How's she now? (as for me I like herrr)

I think you need to shorten the nose, or turn the tip up, a tiny bit. The "bulb" of the nose is a little too big. If you can, it looks like the nasal bridge may need to move down a little. (Or, that may be the effect from the eyebrows being low.) It might also need to be a tiny bit narrower. Everything else looks spot on to me. Great work!

her nose bridge starts too high. You've done a great job so far but it's her nose that shapes the entire face. See if you can lower the nose bridge height level with her eyes.

Thank you all, guys. Yeah, I should think about changing nose bridge some way. Also I wanna to re-paint these EA's default eyebrows in way to make them "sharper" maybe & a little wider from the outside..

It's just the nose, otherwise she is screaming Megan Fox to me. Great job. I hope you are going to include those great open lips with the teeth for upload.

I feel honoured, a Spanish magazine wants to feature my Desperate Housewives and Will Smith in their feature on celebrity sims.

Well I tried to change the nasal bridge somehow, & I took maximum from the sliders that they could give me...


I think that problem is in some dark places in her skintone (near nostrils and start of nasal bridge), and it needs to be changed .Phew, Megan Fox needs to create so many CC that I'm becoming to tire a little bit))

Make the nose less wider so the middler isn't so big or scale down the nose tip. Raise up the nose tip a bit. Maybe try defining the nose a bit more? Lower the eyebrows as well.

Hiya, I'd increase the nostril definition and the scale.
I think that it's help because there is something off with the nose!

I spent a lot of time to change her nose, and I think it came out very well.
However, main changes I made:

1) Were painted eyebrows
2) Was changed her faceskin for making the start of nasal brigde wider & rounder and aslo I painted a little shadow under nostrlis.

It seems to me that she is quite good for being simmed in that way


I think the last thing I have to do is to find some other clothes on her & maybe some piece of hair would be good too

Of course, if you have some else advices & tips - it would be great to make Megan more resembling :P

After having installed Windows 7 on my notebook I tried to play this sim in game, and actually I didn't like her appearance in game, so I continued improving her as she looks like at UK premiere.

I think now she's really good & I should try to uload her. What do you think?

Did you use face mask on her? The shine applies a bit wrong somehow.
I would suggest using this face highlighter, as the shine applies in a very similar way as on the reference pic.
Try to make her lip color less saturated, because now it looks a bit off.
Also, her nose bridge could be a tad lower and eyes less close together.

I wanted to make mask on her but then I decided to change face skin in .dds file, which is included in skintone.
Talking about highlights, your link & advices that you gave are very useful, thanks!
I'll make an update in a couple of days.

Hi guys, at last this week I had some free time & dedicated it for one more update.
I made some little improvements, but yesterday I came across one problem:
I couldn't download face and nose highliters which Elexis advised with the help of this link.
If someone has these files or knows other links, please leave them here.
Talking about nose bridge, I couldn't make it lower because sliders
don't allow me to do this...

Oh she's super cloose!

~ Decrease her eye height just a click. Just a click because it would look wrong if you overdid it.
~ Her eyes... Her eyes were perfect in #32 post.
~ Decrease Nose Mass a teeny more.. Just a small amount. Or just increase her nose definition a tad. (either way would work I guess)
~ There's something wrong with the skin too, maybe lighten her skin a tad?
~ And also those contacts, O_O I think there's no need to put on a shine on her eyes.

I could see a resemblance I really like her I hope she'll get finished soon!

When you say the sliders won't let you do it, do you mean you are at the maximum of the slider and can't push it any further? If so, just increase the facial slider multiplication, as I assume you are using a mod that allows you to.

I think lowering her bridge anymore will make her look extremely unnatural from the profile view. Megan's bridge is actually not that low from profile. It's hard to get a compromise between the two views. Her nose is also looking too small from profile.

I think the nose bridge looks fine from the front. The nose in profile though...it's a bit scary. The whole nose needs to be moved out from the face some. Her nose mass looks fine as it is.
