I have to agree that the Base V4 is not the prettiestlady in the office, but she isn't terrible.  My first gallery post is a true example of ugly, though.  I learnt very quickly that using the available morphs (I've got eh Pro Bundle) it takes some time to dial a pretty face.  My second go was much better.

(If anyone is thinking of stopping by my gallery to take a look, be forwarned they are nudes.)

My third render with V4 is her base face and it is done with Sydney at her side for comparison.

Anyway, my point is that though, V4 is not pretty to begin with and though she requires completely relearning how to dial-a-face, she has a ton of obvious flexibility.  I believe she is a vast improvement over V3, but it will be months before we really get to see that reflected in galleries and products.

Yes, there are annoying and weird things about her, but they can be worked around or eventually some clever merchant will invent a product to help us along.

I'm happy with my V4 purchase, she is the future and I have no doubts there.
