Get ready for more realistic looking sims in the latest update of The Sims Freeplay, keep reading for more information
NEW FACES!
Preteen, teen, adult and senior sims faces have all been refreshed! This new look is far more realistic as these new face meshes have allowed the makers to add eyelashes, tongues and improve the textures:
This change has taken the team 6 months to test and roll out, only babies and toddlers haven’t been changed at this stage:
All hair, glasses and earrings are now available for all genders so adult males can use adult females hair and vice versa (you still can’t share hair and accessories across age groups so senior sims cannot use adult sims hair etc)
I really love these changes, they were definitely needed! This is a permanent improvement and can be accessed by selecting create a sim on a wardrobe. The old faces are no longer available as they are unable to use both face meshes in the game at the same time.
I cannot wait to see the new creative sims you all make!

The Girl Who Games 
This update is so awesome omg!
this update is absolutely terrible! the sims all look creepy, the skin tones all darkened and look awful, so many of the makeup looks are now racist, etc, etc, etc. i hope they go back and fix it. my sims are so ugly now it’s almost unplayable
I’ve passed your feedback on
I’m really pleased that hairstyles are now gender neutral!
Next, it would be great for all of the clothing could be gender neutral also and I would really love to see more stylish clothes added for senior Sims.
I agree, I hate the new updates. None of my black people look black anymore. There’s only one slightly Asian looking face for the men now and it’s horrible. They’re really puffy and weird. I understand people wanted new faces but why get rid of the old ones? I hate it now!
Agree with you 110%! I can’t tell if a have a man or woman sim half of the time. I hate it.
They should’ve added the heads instead of changing them . I’ve not been so grieved since the sim legacy deaths. Hopefully they’ll fix the faces if everyone complains.
I like the new updates of the Sims but at the same time where’s the Skin Color?! I don’t really recognise my Sims 😅 hopefully they will add it cause it’s weird some of them like Grace have said there skin darkened!… and others are white… 😅 so yeah I hope they will fix it soon! 😊
I really miss the old faces. They had been in my life since 2012. Why can’t they just add the new ones instead of getting rid of the old ones (Ｔ＿Ｔ)
