I am probably argueably the PICKIEST person you'd ever meet when creating a sim, I don't know why but if I make a sim in BS and look at her in CAS and don't like how she looks moving and smiling and stuff I won't use her and I'll go spend another 2-3 hours creating the perfect face for my females I admit it becomes a bit repetitive and boring at times but Im so damn picky lol
and as for males I have almost 3 GB of CC for homes and the rest is just female CC hair, clothes, makeup (I have GOBS & GOBS of make-up lmfao) so I only downloaded maybe 1-2 males sims since ive been playing and possibly ONE t-shirt set for my default males because I hate the maxis clothes my townies wear and I just really can't make a male sim look ahem 'manly' they all look (feminine) in my opinion
but thats just me I can't make a really good male to save my life. . .
