I was working on something so I couldn't be more specific, but I checked what I used for one of my older female characters for which I used the photo of a young woman in Headshot.

I used a number of morphs that seem to come from the Ultimate Morphs pack: https://www.reallusion.com/ContentStore/Character-Creator/Pack/Ultimate-Morphs/.

This includes updated morphs from the older Essential Morphs pack as well as new ones. There are also useful morphs that come with Headshot. 

For the skin I used things like wrinkles, pores, freckles, etc. that can be found in SkinGen. I have the additional SkinGen content that is available for purchase; I'm not quite sure how far you'll get with the base content.

Below is a composite screen capture of the various settings that I used:

I haven't done much with the new wrinkle system but that would give further options.

This makes me really upset...:angry: We encourage users to check the manual and it then turns out a lot of information is outdated.

The Appearance Editor as described has completely changed, as Substance material is now only used for props and no longer for characters, since CC3+.

Most aging is now done through SkinGen as far as the skin is concerned. There should still be morphs for aging as well, but I don't know what is standard included or whether this requires an additional purchase.

Does this workflow still exist in CC4? This page is from the CC4 manual, but I'm not finding any of the sliders it refers to (e.g., "Old" and "Age")
https://manual.reallusion.com/Character-Creator-4/Content/ENU/4.0/07_Head/Aging_the_Character.htm

If this is no longer supported, what's the general recommendation for creating characters that don't look like the default 20-30-somethings?
