I love these types of asks :D Why yes I sure can!
With Zinnia I kind of wanted to do that trend of "EA skin but better" that I've seen a few other people do, but the more I worked on it the less I liked the concept. EA skin is just bad lol I'm sorry guys. Especially the lips. IMO lips are one of the most important "upgrades" that default skins make to all sims.
I kept trying to work on it but I hated the EA lips so much that I ended up just adding adding adding more stuff to try and improve it and the end result was something like "smoother EA skin and realistic lips". I thought enough people might like that idea to justify releasing it. Personally so far I've liked using it best on second swatch over other skins to make them more smooth and maxis match! I think it's a really versatile skin in that regard.
Zinnia was one of the wips seen in this post btw. The other, well. My only rule for my cc is that I also have to like it - if I don't, it's not getting released. I don't know if that will ever see the light of day since it's been kicking around my wip folder for like a year.
