I'm in the process of remaking Ava Cadavra from Sims 2 for DS to Sims 3 because why not? I'm usually so lazy at faces, so I thought I'd try to make her with no custom sliders.
I ran into a hiccup with the skintone though. My default skins du jour are Brntwaffles' Blue Sugar Nectar, but they don't get even close to pale enough. Tried non-default Yogurt Smoothie (maybe it's called Mango Yogurt?). It's nice, pale enough, but too peachy toned than what I was going for.
Synestesi on Garden of Shadows to the rescue!
I'm thinking their Pale Skintones #2 will be it. It's really nice, would recommend. Download HERE. Version 1 is HERE.
The hair is something else though. I think we're going to go with Leahlilith Nyane by ifcasims. It's a great hair, but the bangs aren't quite right. If I could have the high double buns like Nyane or Butterflysims 78 with the bangs and side pieces of Nightcrawler Teddy, it would be perrrfect.
Good thing I already had a bunch of double buns saved on my pinterest, ha. They have their own section now anyway.
