Shes unique alright. But to upload a sim to the other category you need to create most of the CC. How much CC is yours?

I know. But I suck at making cc, so none is mine.

I'll try to make something though. How much do you have to make?

Most if not all. :[

I would love to make an other sim, but the consequence is everyone has to make their own CC, no matter how much they suck at it.

Sorry, she's not unique.
Comparison pic:

All you did was make her eyes bigger and alter her brows a bit, as well as widening the nose.
Her facial shape is exactly the same, and she doesn't look realistic at all.

This stuff takes time and effort, I think you should tweak her A LOT more.

How about now?
Ok, here she is now. Is she better? I really don't know. Oh, and I made the eyes. (I'm kinda proud of myself for that lol)

Although you've tweaked her, the features are all in the exact position as the Maxis Face 1. The eyes are the same width apart, the nose hasn't moved, etc.
You need to move things around.

She looks so much more unique in both no CC pictures. I think its the eyebrows. I agree with striaghtroad, keep moving the features around.

That's better, but make her forehead and eyes smaller. (No person has eyes that big

Maybe try moving the cheeks inwards, and the jaw area a bit further outwards?

I'm sorry, but she still look way too much like face #1. Her face shape is what needs the most changing. Overall, most of her needs changing, though. Use all the sliders you possibly can and don't be afraid to experiment!

Yes, she's very maxis. I know it can be hard, but just keep experimenting! You need to make a lot of major changes first.

Okay! Here's what I did when I was first making unique sims:

Stop trying to make them look attractive. Don't make them look like aliens or anything, but just turn off your pretty filter and go wild with sliders! Once you've made a really unique sim, then you can go back and edit them to make them a unique kind of pretty.

Hope that helps!

One of the things I learned in here for making unique sims (probably from whitewaterwood, actually!) was to quit trying to make them look beautiful and experiment with the sliders that you normally wouldn't - use EVERY slider in one way or another. It will look strange at first but it will eventually come together

Make her realistic.
If you look at people, how many of them have tennis-ball sized eyes, perfect full lips, and a skinny heartshaped face with a tiny chin?
Not many.

Make her eyes smaller and move them closer together. That usually makes them a lot more realistic looking

Like straightroad and whitewaterwood said: Play around with as many sliders as you can. Also don't make them perfect, every sim doesn't have to be model material, everyone has their flaws.
