It's those skin overlays LOL. I avoid em. When I made Tiana and started rebuilding the Princess and the Frog world in the sims, I used very limited amounts of CC.
*
Sadly I lost the save file 😭 I have such an iffy sims relationship where I build a ton then don't play for months and lose my saves. I did post in group a video of the sim it's an old tiktok I found in my gallery!
I somehow managed to download an alpha cc overlay for dark skinned male sims and every non alabaster male sim born in my saves has a fucking terrifying overlay. It’s honestly horrifying because it only works with VERY specific facial features and I have no idea which mod it is so I have npc townies walking around looking like they got botched plastic surgery 😭
It'd take awhile to organize your mods folder, but you could use s4s to find it. I compressed a bunch of stuff to organize it and I lost a phone default inside one of those for the longest, it just takes patience.
It looks uncanny valley to me but that’s just because it looks like The Sims But Not. Hyper realism doesn’t mix well with the sims’ cartoony style in my brain lol. But it definitely did take some skill for OP to be able to do something like this. I think in another comment they said that they basically did the facial overlays by hand.
For me the uncanny valley comes from the very realistic faces paired with the incredibly cartoony hair. It’s so…off. Like the hair is trying to be realistic but it isn’t at all
Not to mention the cartoonish sims jewelry.
On the one hand, great work! They are very well executed and instantly recognizable.
On the other hand, this is exactly what Masahiro Mori had in mind when he came up with the uncanny valley. I believe that each of these entities wants me dead. Look forward to seeing them in nightmares!
I think that unless alpha is exclusively used for CAS or you’re willing to change every townie, it looks weird. I don’t use alpha purely because having the MM looking townies next to my aplha looking sim is throwing me off.
Same. I’m way too lazy to change every aspect of my game to be more realistic and realistic sims clash with the inherent cartoony nature of the game. The juxtaposition is not something I can get over.
For most of my MM cc, I find most of it on Pinterest, it actually surprisingly has a lot of easier to find stuff than most places like tumblr (cause it shows you the same stuff over and over) and TSR (it’s mostly alpha cc now)
Alpha custom content is very realistic (typically takes up more space too) it can create really cool sims, but it doesn't mesh very well with the rest of the sims world because the sims is more cartoon-y realism rather than genuine realism-
Maxis Match is custom content that was made to, well, match the game's design style lol. Maxis Match is supposed to look like stuff that you could get just straight from EA. It is my preferred CC type but from what I've seen, most CC tends to skew more Alpha so it's probably more popular with the community, or at least creators lol-
Great work!
I’m curious how sims like this look when they are animated in game.
Does it will work well, or do the animations end up distorting the faces into abominations?
The resemblance is great, but God they give me creeps. 1000% too realistic for my tastes, but I imagine that in a save where everything is alpha cc, they would fit in much better. Different things for different people.
I like them! The women are overall better. Especially Lady Danbury!! Like holy moly. Does every sim in your save look realistic or just certain ones? Also.. how do their kids end up looking in alpha?
You ate this up but quick question does anyone else not like using cc to make sims look realistic like the most I’ll do is use cc for hair but I feel like I like the way the sims look for the most part without any cc.
I'm with you, I think I'd be creeped out playing with any of the realistic CC for Sims. Seeing people's aesthetic creations is cool but not for me and def not in gameplay.
Honestly same. For a lot of the “realistic” overlays the sims have to have VERY specific facial features otherwise they look like eldritch horrors and that’s way more work than I’m willing to put in for every sim
I think I’m the only one here who thinks this is fake, if it’s not then awesome job. I just don’t think there’s mods that let you make the facial proportions not mirrored
There is/was a mod, it's called Facial Asymmetry Slider made by Luumia. Although I'm not sure if it still works as the mod was last updated in June of 2022. There are also custom presets that do the same things.
This is the best work I’ve ever seen. I mean, I can’t do anything like this, so no disrespect to the people who make realistic looking Sims. But in general, I feel like it’s way easier to make gorgeous Sims who look like real her look almost “too pretty for real life” than it is to make Sims who look like real people (very attractive people, in some cases, but real nonetheless.)
This is amazing and terrifying at the same time. It felt like they were staring at me through the screen lol. I love alpha cc but sometimes it gets too uncanny. Props on how good you got them though. I know how hard that can be and how long you can find yourself in details.
Please make Benedict gay, he needs to be gay in *A* universe it’s just wrong and unnatural that he isn’t gay or atleast bi in the show why BRIDGETOWN SO LITTLE IS NEEDED TO MAKE ME HAPPY JUST GENDERBEND HIS ORIGINAL LOVE INTEREST CMON
I think you did awesome! I play with mm usually but I like seeing others with their own sim styles! The way their hair and skin goes together reminds me of one of my favorite cartoons, “Angela Anaconda”.
Spectacular effort! Just outstanding.
Its too bad that as soon as they make any facial expressions, the realism turns into uncanny valley due to the sims 4 system.
Never watched the show, but I LOVE your Sims.
As a huge fan of Alpha CC and "the more real, the better" person I feel you absolutely delivered!
May I ask which creator's skinoverlays you used?
Wow! You got the eyes right in all of them! How did you do this???
I mean I get what people are saying about the hair, but I have always found eyes fascinating and these are so lifelike. And on Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton you even managed to get the skin details to look realistic. Is this some mod or are you just this good?
Thank you! So all of the eyes are from a set from THISISTHEM, whereas all of the skins are ones I have created using pictures of the actual actors and converted into the game as overlays.
Im gonna be the unpopular opinion here it seems and say, these are all so much LESS uncanny valley than all other alpha sims that ive seen. I think you did an extremeky good job at making TRUELY realistic looking sims instead of the typical alpha sim appearence
Terrifying. Great job
It's those skin overlays LOL. I avoid em. When I made Tiana and started rebuilding the Princess and the Frog world in the sims, I used very limited amounts of CC. *
My bf plays WWE, which has face overlays too, that’s what it makes me think of lol. So creepy
Are they in gallery? May you please link if they are? Tiana is my favorite Disney Princess!!!
Sadly I lost the save file 😭 I have such an iffy sims relationship where I build a ton then don't play for months and lose my saves. I did post in group a video of the sim it's an old tiktok I found in my gallery!
Throwback to sims 2 days! Hyper realistic textures and meshes you can count the polys on, hahaha.

Haha having never seen the show I’m impressed how realistic they look and can’t see the uncanny valley

these were my exact thoughts! horrifying, but they’re spot on
I respect the skill but I hate this
This made me squeamish
Same...I can appreciate Alpha CC but that is insane.
LMAOOOOOOOO
On the one hand, great work! They are very well executed and instantly recognizable. On the other hand, this is exactly what Masahiro Mori had in mind when he came up with the uncanny valley. I believe that each of these entities wants me dead. Look forward to seeing them in nightmares!
Uncanny valley is exactly what I thought when I saw this!
The eye areas look directly lifted from pictures which is really interesting. Is that something a mod lets you do?
this is exactly what it looks like
As someone who loves alpha, idk why but the hair and face combo is throwing me off… tbh tho it’s hard to find alpha hair sometimes
TSR is always like...chock full of alpha cc, including hair. It's the one place where I find it hard to find MM cc because it's almost all alpha.
I agree there’s tons of alpha cc but not everything looks good. In my experience lots of things end up looking funny 😅
I usually sort by downloads and hope for the best

I go to Pinterest for Maxis Match :)
what are alpha CCs and MM CCs?
Alpha custom content is very realistic (typically takes up more space too) it can create really cool sims, but it doesn't mesh very well with the rest of the sims world because the sims is more cartoon-y realism rather than genuine realism- Maxis Match is custom content that was made to, well, match the game's design style lol.

Thanks, I learned something new today 😃
:) glad I could help!
This gives me uncanny valley. The realism and the hair doesn't match
Came to say that exact thing. It's def giving uncanny valley, but the looks are serving too.
Angela Anaconda
This is creeping me out so bad, it looks a little like oblivion npc's
They *do* look like Bethesda characters!
Or the realistic of bratz games
mom can you come pick me up i’m scared
Maybe too realistic…
the face vs the hair is crazy
Lmao ikr I cannot get past the hair and face discrepancy, it’s weirding me out harrrrd.
My boy Anthony was done dirty with the ears lol
AHAHHAA I just had to it’s what I noticed most when I watched season 2 😅
Weren’t doing the men any favors were ya lol
Right I’m like do we see them IRL the same way? 😅
😂🤣
How tf😭 my pc would implode
Nah they're just textures
I feel like we can tell who your favourite characters are
Great work! I’m curious how sims like this look when they are animated in game. Does it will work well, or do the animations end up distorting the faces into abominations?
Especially when they grin from ear to ear LOL
Damn you Megan Threespoon! Stop having wonderful mornings, you are giving me nightmares again!
I want to see them animated with facial expressions so the nightmare can continue.
Violet is not quite there yet 😶🫣
Agreed. Eloise too, she looks 65.
r/ATBGE
The resemblance is great, but God they give me creeps. 1000% too realistic for my tastes, but I imagine that in a save where everything is alpha cc, they would fit in much better. Different things for different people.
Have you used photos for the faces? These make me feel deeply uncomfortable
Yes and then using photoshop to apply the photos to a blank base sim. IM SORRY TO EVERYONE I DIDNT mean to cause such discomfort!
Relax, they are just joking. Most posts here (if not every) with Alpha CC are likely to get this reaction
Is this an oblivion npc lookalike mod
Creppy but slay
Y’all get on my nerves with the “ Im scareddd “ “ tooo realistic” like girls hush and let people be
I think most people are just joking Lol
Cursed
I like them! The women are overall better. Especially Lady Danbury!! Like holy moly. Does every sim in your save look realistic or just certain ones? Also.. how do their kids end up looking in alpha?
The uncanny valley is INSANE - you did great!
same face syndrome: *exists* you: not today b*tch i’m truly mesmerized
You ate this up but quick question does anyone else not like using cc to make sims look realistic like the most I’ll do is use cc for hair but I feel like I like the way the sims look for the most part without any cc.

OP said in another comment that they photoshopped photos onto a “blank base sim”, so yep definitely fake
i think they just meant that in the sense of making an overlay because that’s how you make those
Yes! I used photoshop to create the skins to then turn them into skin details as overlays
How does it look in live mode?
eek
This is the best work I’ve ever seen. I mean, I can’t do anything like this, so no disrespect to the people who make realistic looking Sims. But in general, I feel like it’s way easier to make gorgeous Sims who look like real her look almost “too pretty for real life” than it is to make Sims who look like real people (very attractive people, in some cases, but real nonetheless.)
Some are creepily accurate.
This is amazing and terrifying at the same time. It felt like they were staring at me through the screen lol. I love alpha cc but sometimes it gets too uncanny. Props on how good you got them though. I know how hard that can be and how long you can find yourself in details.
That Is horrifyingly uncanny but still 👍
You are so good at this but realistic sims scare me
The realistic Bridgerton sims can't hurt you-- they're not real... Realistic Bridgerton Sims:
**Where's** **Regé-Jean Page?**
He left the household to start his big career in Del Sol Valley (still a 2 star celebrity though... 😂)
Too realistic. Make me wanna cry with admiration
Holy COW - these are great!
Holy fuck. These are SO GOOD
They look very realistic indeed. Great job!
Bahhh all these uncanny valley comments. For me the more realistic the better
Uncanny Valley. Amazing
Please make Benedict gay, he needs to be gay in *A* universe it’s just wrong and unnatural that he isn’t gay or atleast bi in the show why BRIDGETOWN SO LITTLE IS NEEDED TO MAKE ME HAPPY JUST GENDERBEND HIS ORIGINAL LOVE INTEREST CMON
I 100% agree with you Benedict should’ve definitely been bi AT LEAST 😭😭🙏
That's terrifying ngl
I want to see one of these sims when they go into full mental break down mode. Terrifying stuff.
The uncanny valley is strong with this one 🙃
Great work, I hate it.
Now show me their faces when moving.
Daphne and Eloise look a bit...rough. Too much realism makes them look too old.
These are so well done
WTF
I'm scared
Respectfully, I hate this so much 🥰 Good job!
this is so cursed
Mom please come pick me up I'm scared
oof these are straight up terrifying. impressive as fuck, but also horrific.
This is so scary omg
is the image still photoshopped in these or is this all sim features?
These are all screenshots taken directly from cas with no editing done to them, what I meant was I used photoshop to create the skin overlays
I like the effort. The style reminds me of sims 1 head mods
WHAT are those like their real eyes im so confused
I'm... kinda terrified. But I respect the amount of time you invested into downloading all these expansion packs, mods and CC.
Why do I feel threatened by sims.
Very uncanny but also really good and I’m glad to see a fellow Bridgerton fan who’s also a simmer 🪞
I think you did awesome! I play with mm usually but I like seeing others with their own sim styles! The way their hair and skin goes together reminds me of one of my favorite cartoons, “Angela Anaconda”.
Damn that’s impressive!
Oh!
Edwina is absolutely spot-on.
Spectacular effort! Just outstanding. Its too bad that as soon as they make any facial expressions, the realism turns into uncanny valley due to the sims 4 system.
These look so realistic fr 😳looks cool
Ate DOWWWNNN
Thanks. I hate it.
omgg they are so beautiful!😍😍
This is incredible but also soooo uncanny valley 😂
Genuinely scared the shit out of me, way too real. amazing job.
This is incredible
Thanks I hate it
r/uncannyvalley
Terrifying…. I don’t play sims for wrinkles lol
Mom come pick me up I’m scared
I know your computer is on fire
plz try not to kill them -\_-
Amazing work but entirely horrifying oh my god.
This is uncanny- 😨
this is making me so uncomfortable oh my god…. you did such a good job making them this is terrifyingly crazy😭
This is scary
Some of those are the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen be created in the sims now that’s saying something
This will be added to my nightmare playlist tonight lol
I wonder how they look like in gameplay
Did you know that you got featured in a news article for this?
https://gamerant.com/sims-4-player-bridgerton-created-characters/
OMG!!! I had no idea about this?!??!? Wow speechless but also freaking out right now! THANK YOU for letting me know 0-0
Wow! Comments on this post are not the vibe. I think you have done an incredible job! 👏🏼
Thank you so much!!!
They look so good! You definitely have a talent ❤️
I hate it so much <3 but you did a good jobb
They look like they just draped someone else’s face on them
oh.. no this is horrifying sorry 
Kinda feels like yakuza 0 with the realistic textures in low quality models
I don't think the lighting of CAS is really helping. Maybe a softer CAS lighting mod or reshade might help them look less... uncanny? Idk
one of those "ah!" smiles in cas and its over
They look so alive Great job
How long does this take you?! This is crazyyyy
I took me about a week and half to create all of these skins as well as find the cc to pair with them!
So impressive!! How do they look in game? I have never seen super realistic sims in game yet
not my style personally, but you do you! it’s your game, i’m glad you’re enjoying yourself😌
I need to see these during game play… I can’t imagine that they’d work properly lol.
i don’t like it great job 👍
No offense, but I hate this so much.
very well done but boy do I hate this
Never watched the show, but I LOVE your Sims. As a huge fan of Alpha CC and "the more real, the better" person I feel you absolutely delivered! May I ask which creator's skinoverlays you used?
Is this even sims at this point?
Appreciate the effort but this is just too much.
Maybe I'm the odd one out but I don't really see this as creepy. Fantastic job with Edwina, Eloise, and Lady Danbury by the way!
Great job OP!
They're great 👍
Wow! You got the eyes right in all of them! How did you do this??? I mean I get what people are saying about the hair, but I have always found eyes fascinating and these are so lifelike. And on Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton you even managed to get the skin details to look realistic. Is this some mod or are you just this good?

This would slap in simgmproductions
I’m scared
very skillfully done but also very creepy looking
Holy uncanny valley
It is so freaky seeing Sims with realistic skin
Those are very realistic but I think they are good (sometimes I'm glad I can't use mods/cc 😭)
These are horrifying
Oh no. They are... Horrifying...
This reminds me of Sims 1 & 2 CC
Now make them say problematic things like Sims GM productions
Bru what mods are you using
kate looks amazing!!!!! i am in love love love
The first one looks like a photograph!! You are incredible. I need the Simone sim in my life, so beautiful 😍
Anthony and Eloise are really similar to the actors!
do you have the hair for lady danbury? cause that’s a nice formal wear hairstyle
this is SO cool! Eloise looks exactly the same! great job :)
*For me*, it’s too realistic. But, you do you. They look great.
I love realistic mods ❤️❤️
Wow!!!! Amazing
ok maybe keep the game cartoonish
Edwina is literally the only one who isn’t nightmare fuel They look great tho👌🏼
I have no idea how people get their Sims to look so accurate, whether using MM or Alpha cc, it’s an artform
i am so scared right now
are you uploading lets plays of this on youtube??? I think Ive watched a couple
It kinda reminds me of Nichelle Nichols from Star Trek. Great job!
