For a first try, it is encouraging and I congratulate you. I think you should use skins. There are many. Personally, my favorites are those of teru-k, but there are many other fantastic creators like LemonLeaf, Ephemera and, of course, S-Club and PralineSims (some of them are on TSR3). To get an exact idea, go to the following sites: https://sims3fixes.wordpress.com/2016/09/10/my-top-6-free-skin-mods-for-sims-3/ or: http://zootgamer.com/2012/09/best-realistic-sims-3-skins-default-and-non-default/ or, of course, TSR3 : Downloads / Sims 3 / Searching for 'skin'. There are no less than 99 pages to discover! You can take some of them. You put them in your mods> packages> skins folder. (The last one is not mandatory, but it's better in my opinion. If you need a procedure to create your file, go to: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Old_Way_to_New_Way.) Then you delete your temporary files and restart. You will then see them in the CAS. You can then select the ones that suit you best. Afterwards, if you want your sims to appear spontaneously with a much improved skin, you will have to choose only 1 skin EA default (tyaemf). But you can keep other skins if they are EA ND (which means Non default skin). Afterwards, you will have to think about adding hair. To do this you can go to TSR3: Downloads / Sims 3 / Hair. You will have something to please you, because you will find more than 120 pages! Also look at the makeups. They do a good job of making simettes. And only on TSR3, you will find what you need in the 160 pages present!
Finally, from experience, I would advise you against taking a sim made by another creator, however wonderful it may be, to modify it to suit your tastes. On the one hand, the pleasure of the game is to be the creator, as you did and even if you can admire the awesome creations of others, on the other hand, when I did it, I had the unpleasant surprise to have hooked and unbearable BCCs (bad customs contents, see on Google: bad cc finds sims 3), and I had to uninstall all the game and its suites, and install all again, fresh and clean. A real wound and what frustration!
Anyway, continue like that. The experience pays off, and in addition it is a real pleasure with the sims 3 ...
Best regards. [thjap]
