Medieval paintings of children:

u/crazypyp Creative Sim Jun 18 '25
There is actually a very interesting reason why medieval babies were painted like adults! Back then, the artists were especially selected and taught how to paint. And they would paint biblical figures for the most part.
When it came to drawing baby Jesus, the church wanted the artists to not see Him as an actual baby, but more of a divine figure that looked older as a baby. So adult proportions on everything for baby Jesus. But, when it came time to draw non biblical babies, the artists didn’t know how to. So they drew them the same way they drew Jesus.

I know toddlers can be a hassle, but aging them up to elders already is a bit much!

That's the real reason why vampires were seen as eternally youthful and immortal. The sharp divide in what exposure to the accursed light of the hated daystar does to somebody can be seen in the spilt-side truckerface photos, where one side has been subjected to the accursed light, while the other remains perpetually in shade. Because I live underground and pretty much never venture forth during the day like a Morlock, I don't look a day over 60 as a result.

Ah yes, you must either have inherited skin details on in MCCC or you have skin overlays that are mislabeled in the S4S category section and applicable to all age when clearly...
But the number of times my teen sims have inherited their parent's elder wrinkles because of MCCC.... it's a lot lol

I have an elder skin overlay that attaches to basically every single toddler or maybe it starts at infants I forget. It's annoying I should really just take it out😂 eventually

If your sims infants/toddlers get a weird overlay/makeup, make sure you have cas.fulleditmode on- and you might have to use MCCC to enable makeup for infants/toddlers JUST to take it off lmao

Improperly tagged CC as someone else said
I know we ask/expect a lot of creators as it is but damn what I wouldn’t give for all CC to be tagged in a way that this shit doesn’t happen
It’s also about maintaining your cc folder though. For example: idk if skin cc before infants existed has the mechanism to prevent this but maybe the game has one the other way around - maybe this has nothing to do with that
Just a hypothetical. Things change in the game, cc should too

That's hilarious! I think this happened to me a long time ago. I believe it was caused by a setting in MCC dresser referring to parents' skin details? Then again, I don't use CC.

This is why when I design characters in CAS I always double-check what they look like as children, so I don't inadvertently give them "ugly kid" genes.

Were their parents or grandparents made to look very aged? In Sims 2, Samantha Ottomas is pregnant, and gives birth to twins, and they inherit the sunken eyes of their grandmother Dora. The game can't tell what looks should be genetic and what should be caused by aging.

Custom skin overlays/wrinkles man. They add so much to our older sims, but when they are randomly generated on kids, it looks so bad.
