After years of absence, I'm back and I've created a new Sim. I dedicated two months to carefully creating and refining her every detail. And I'm tired of staring at her lol Though I am a perfectionist creator and continuously find new things to experiment with, I am satisfied with her current version. Every new upload I challenge myself to improve. I enjoyed and embraced stepping out of my comfort zone and acquiring new skills in lighting, staging scenes, building, and photography. My goal was to design her to be highly compatible and adaptable to various play styles. I hope you enjoy her
Biography
Amélie's free-spirited childhood in the idyllic French countryside fostered a vibrant imagination and passion for adventure. She lost her parents tragically young, becoming the sole caretaker for her grandfather and dog. Her parent's spirited encouragement to follow her dreams regardless of expectations has always stuck with her. Amélie now splits her time between working at a bookstore, painting commissions, writing her first romance novel, and volunteering at the children's hospital - finding great meaning and joy in helping others. Though she grapples with grief, Emily embraces life's quirks and possibilities with an irrepressible optimism and quest for laughter – even when it bewilders those around her initially. She's determined to live fully, honour her parent’s memory, and nurture her talents - whether or not her curmudgeonly grandfather approves.
Note about Sliders: She is face slider heavy. You might need a mod to increase the number of sliders the game can use, such as MasterController
Any Sliders in the CC list tab with a" *" is completely optional because it was slightly used and the difference is not that noticeable. These sliders are Johna’s head size slider, Wojek 's chin-to-neck slider, and AWT's jaw rotate slider.
I created realistic 3D details in the sculpt without using textures, such as lip corners, cheek grooves, upper eyelids and eyebags, tear throughs, and a slight dorsum hump (only visible from 3/4ths). The right-side eye has more prominent asymmetry. Other features include a middle lip tubercule, chin mentolabial crease, rounded forehead and a thin nose septum, heart-shaped face with an actual jaw, nose dimples, and realistic facial proportions.I reduced sim mesh sharpness as much as possible while maintaining facial structure. The 3D sculpt details are genetic. She suits all ages and genders. Keeping wrinkles ages her realistically, creating a cool effect and she looks adorable at younger age groups.
When she is gender switched to man, you can reduce his nostril scale using the base game slider. Separately, One Euromutt has created sliders found here that address this issue, but I never used these on this sim.
One of my favourite things about her is that heart shapes can be found all over her face, such as the apples of her cheeks, and mouth, her face shape, and the base of her nose tip is an upside down heart.
Shadows under her nose: due to her nose anatomy and the game's lighting engine. Using different lighting in photos can make the shadows less noticeable. Shadows are also less prominent with normal outdoor and indoor lighting. By not using Nectar Cellar's default normal map replacement can reduce the prominence of the shadows. Aging as a teen and elder adds a highlight under the nose, which can't be avoided but is subtle.
Animations: I used facial expression animations suite from the base game for her head shots photos, ensuring that her features animate and fit within the game's animations. The low, mid, and most high animations and idles are flattering to her, except for extreme ones like the baseball conversation, which I think don't suit any sim.
Clothing & Accessories
If not mentioned in CC, most Accessories and shoes are included in the base game and don't require separate downloads. Clothes are optional, but I customized everything using base game patterns in CAST. Textures were carefully chosen to look realistic in various lighting conditions. Attention was paid to small details, such as accessories and straps. Colors were selected to enhance the character's complexion. If her clothes aren't downloaded, the game will replace them with less stylish alternatives.
Mods Not needed but totally recommended to assist you
Photo Notes: What You See is What You Get In-Game
These in-game photos were only cropped, collaged, and watermarked. No graphic or shader mods(G-shade, Reshade, etc) were used. The sunflower and beach photos were taken at sunset and sunrise using the Blue Skies & Sunshine Lighting Mod by BrntWaffles, which doesn't affect game performance. The Sim and Texture details were set to very high. Apologies for any jagged outlines, blurry textures, and clipping due to using an old low-end laptop with an Intel graphics card.

Resembelances
There is a movie called Amélie 2001 where the main character is called Amélie, I have not seen it yet so any resemblance to her appearance or character is a coincidence. I've been told Billy Ellish, Scarlet Johanson, and some people's self-sims. can you see any more resemblances or similarities?

ATTENTION THIS SIM IS UPLOADED WITH DEFAULT SKIN
To manually select the non-default skin tone in Create A Sim, go to the skin tone panel. The recommended non-default skin in the photos is adjusted on the tone ramp, but it's optional. You can use other skins of your choice and keep makeup on her while adjusting the tone ramp to blend. The makeup masks for nose, lips, and eyes provide versatility for any skin while keeping her texture details relatively the same. The eye mask is mainly for the tear ducts so that is optional as well. Her features mostly rely on sliders, so she can look good with different skins and makeup.Note about Sliders: She is face slider heavy. You might need a mod to increase the number of sliders the game can use, such as MasterController
Any Sliders in the CC list tab with a" *" is completely optional because it was slightly used and the difference is not that noticeable. These sliders are Johna’s head size slider, Wojek 's chin-to-neck slider, and AWT's jaw rotate slider.
A note about CC compatability with aWt’s Eye mesh
- When downloading ‘Buckley AWT eye mesh and sliders for all ages’, make sure to also download ' aWT's Default Replacement Eye Meshes for Children and Toddlers SimSkin Shader Version Slider Compatible’ on the same page. Additionally, it is crucial to download ’ aWT_EYEBALL_Lod0_buhudainUVFix2_SimSkin by buhudain’. The reason for this is that the ‘SimSkin’ versions are the only ones compatible with aWT eye sliders, (preventing any glowing eyes when transforming into a vampire, werewolf, or ghost) but the SimEyes verion is not. Since I used aWt’s eye sliders, use only the SimSkin version, not SimEyes.
- I only used aWt's ' iris size’ and ‘Pupil Dilate’ eye sliders.
- Please also note that if you have the S-club UV Eye fix, it is incompatible with aWT's eye mesh and should not be used with this sim.
Facial Scuplt Details & Genetics
I created realistic 3D details in the sculpt without using textures, such as lip corners, cheek grooves, upper eyelids and eyebags, tear throughs, and a slight dorsum hump (only visible from 3/4ths). The right-side eye has more prominent asymmetry.

Clothing & Accessories
- For Swim, I did not use thesebut similar look to rukisim's glasses, JSSims 3 heart glasses, link found here, JS Sims info & photos here. A just-in-case alternative, if you prefer the JSSims version or the rukisims link, is down.
- For Everyday, the ' CFS Scalloped Knee Socks' can be replaced by the base game over-the-knee socks. It's the same, but I just could not resist the slight, cute scallop detail.
- Sleepwear: Requires Seasons for the AF Female Long Johns outfit. If you don’t have it it will be replaced by the base game or whatever expansion pack you have.
Mods Not needed but totally recommended to assist you
- Her face was sculpted with the slider range set to 2x with MasterController. If you don’t intend to change her face, it’s not necessary to change the slider range.
- She is face slider heavy. You might need a mod to increase the number of sliders the game can use, such as MasterController
- Used in photos and useful in generalCAS lighting Edit by Simbouquet
- I used HP's Increased Shine Its very subtle.
- Suggested if you need more expanded skin tone panel for non-default skins: Cmar’s Skin tone Panel 1.38
- Fanasher More Beauty Marks. Freckles. & wrinkle slots 1.67 if you need more expanded slots in Topical Detail section in CAS
- Can only be seen super up hyper zoomed up close. Compatible with HP’s Idola Non-Default Skin. The combination of using this normal map and the non-default skin is that you don’t need to use separate custom fingernails. For the body, I only used Default Replacement Normal Map: Buhudain You Are Real 1.5 female body_N+V here and Alternative link here and another alternate link
- In the same links above you can use ‘Buhudain_DR_YouAreRealV1.4_Female_KertinFace’ together with ‘Budhudain's body original normal map because it's softer and ideal for gameplay. I used Buhudain_DR_YouAreRealV1.4_Female_KertinFace_NC_EDIT_HasAdultWrinkles. You are hyperreal by Nectar Cellar in combination with Buhudain's original body map.
- Completely not needed at all because her outfits use shoes and thus they are not photographed. But I find Blooms 3D feet an absolute must-have default replacement, to keep realism consistency for when you take off her shoes. Bloomsbase’s sexy feet for the sims 3 can be found here. Alternative link here
- I would recommend using SLAMYY Default replacement Eyelash Mesh Terminator than S-club’s ‘ts3 mod ea eyelash removal fm’ if you have that already. It’s not needed, but it’s better overall.

2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sim file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\SavedSims folder.
