I love this mod. I'm so tired of my sims ALWAYS producing ugly children when they marry townies. One question though. Should I remove this download before I install Open For Business?

I have to tell you how much I love this mod! I really hated the ugly townies so I created a new neighborhood, deleted all the townies and generated new ones. My townies are SOO cute! I created an apartment of four single sims and had them flirt with all the townies. Two have married very nice looking townies and another is romancing all the women. I am no longer afraid of ugly townie genes!

I must add that while a few of my townies are gorgeous, most of them are simple cute and realistic looking. Only a couple are slightly homely..but in a realistic lovable sort of way. This has made a huge difference and I have no odd looking townies with huge lips and buggy eyes.

Thanks so much! While I have downloaded lots of great mods, this one has had probably the biggest impact on the visuals in my game.

3. And what about uploads? Will the sims we make after installing these look the same in other people's games as they do in ours, or will their features change?
4. How will the genetics of those uploaded sims function in other games?

These are all good questions, Ellatrue. Here are my answers based on experience so far.

1. Existing sims not affected. Children still inherit parents' features.
2. Dowloaded sims look the same.
3. & 4. Can't answer with absolute certainty, BUT the pattern seems to be that sims imported into a game retain the looks and genetics they were created with. For certain they DO NOT haul any "templates" with themselves that might alter another person's game.

If anyone notes differently from what I've said, by all means let us know.

Downloading. I saw this once, didn't download and now I've been looking for this for weeks if not months. The bigmouths look weird but I can tolerate them - however, I really hate that (Benjamin) long nose, and I'm glad this will help me to get rid of the face. I hope you have also fixed the face that to me looks like a bird. I'll test. I'm certain that this will improve my game. Thank you for your effort.

Thank you for this.. though I'm a freak and like using my hacks to make nightmarish kids on purpose (has anyone seen kids produced from the Therapist? *shudder*), I don't particularly like having them crop up on their own.

This is awesome! I tried this in Body Shop, and even ugly Sims look at least normal.
Also the more ethnic types look great, I think maxis had made some features exageratedly unrealistic.
And there's so many more features (noses, mouths, jaws) to choose from to make good looking Sims!
If I understand well, if I wanted to keep this original maxis face:

I would have to delete the whole 4-emed family?
(I wonder if "emed" stands for east-mediterranean?)

Thank again for this great download!

Yes! Remove ALL the 4-emed family files, including those for men and women of all age groups if that's the one you don't want overridden in the game.

Thanks, I really wanted to keep this face (your version was close though, I could have lived with it! :D)
Another thing that makes me sooooo happy is face nº3: I always thought the female was beautiful (in a strong featured way) and the male untolerably ugly, and now the female is still similar to maxi's (with slightly more balanced features), and the male is at least interesting!
Also I noticed eyes are smaller in general, it makes them so much more realistic, I had got used to the "make-the-eyes-smaller-and-closer-together" routine in order to make my Sims look normal.
I :salute: you!

AllenABQ,

This is really a good set of templates. All the others are just too generic, also they make my custom downloaded sims look strange. Your templates make my custom downloaded sims look much better as I view them in CAS.

One question, if I may (you may) to take you on a strange journ.... oops lost it there....
Your templates do work with downtownies? Yes? I'll find out.

And thanks for all those hairy sims. Hopefully you can get a chance to make some more as you wish to do soon.

Take care and thanks,

Thank you so much, these look great. I do have a question. Does this affect sims you have previously made? Will they look totally different now? Thanks for addressing this...I have some sims I have made that I tried to make look like people in my family and I wouldn't really want to lose them.

Thank you SO very much for answering these questions! I have been afraid to download the new faces because I've requested a few sims to be made for me, and I was afraid it would mess things up. Now I am finally going to download and start having less freaky looking sims!

Woohoo!!!!

Thank you for all the hard work, and some awesome faces!!

I have been testing these rigerously the last few days... and using this in conjunction with the Sim Boutique Clothing Rack ( http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=108057 ).

Used in conjunction with your CAS replacement faces... after creating a neighbourhood, I deleteAllCharacters and regenerate them with your new face templates, so they are already half pretty... then call them up one by one for the finishing touches with the sim surgery that the Clothing Rack provides. It's just been so much fun and WOW, the results are simply stunning!

I'm just so chuffed that I have a neighbourhood of goodlooking simmies wandering around, and I know my "offspring" will be better looking too. TY for all your hard work... I really appreciate it!!

I've actually had your faces in for a few weeks now and loved them, but to be able to finally customise everything has been just wonderful, so ty again!

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look so astonished!

Okay, this is the best of those mods. Gah, I just wish my fave neighborhood hadn't so many NPCs and stuff already :-D

As long as Maxis won't add a feature to the game that, er, "moves those CAS sliders" in the random generation, this is the best solution for a bit of variety without being to grotesque.

I've been using your templates for some months now and remain extremely satisfied with them. It's really nice having normal looking sims in my game. No anime eyes practically on the sides of the head. The only downside is that when reading other peoples blogs now, their sims look much more abnormal. lolol

Hey HedgeKat, thanks.

I've not been playing Sims 2 much lately, and I'm only just now working with a new town using ONLY my templates to start with. Thus I'll have a town where Sims based on my templates will be breeding only with each other. I'm curious to see how the children turn out. I've heard a few complaints that it still doesn't solve the problem of later generations becoming uglier, but I don't know that there's any real way around that problem. Maxian genetics being what they are, over time things just tend to break down. Still I typically only play a town to 3-5 generations before I become bored and start over again. Maybe I just don't play long enough to see the ugliness really get bad. Or maybe it's just that I'm just really selective about who has children. lol

One thing is for sure, I LIKE having townies and NPCs that aren't constant eyesores from sim day one.

Thank you ever so much for making these so that I (and many others) don't have to!

Thanks for this..This is wonderful mod.

Just yesterday my sister was playing Sims and complaining about very ugly Townies and NPC's. So she would love this much as I do.

Can I ask you something? I wonder can you put asian/indian face in Sims because
I think it's not fair that in Sims there no all races...

If I want new race I need to download from internet every time and mostly they are bad skins.

Benjamin Long is not nothing compares to GOOFY?
Rember..Very ugly and have awful clothes!!!

First of all I want to say that I love using your face templates, they're a nice mid-ground between ugly maxis and the too-perfect faces some other people have made.

I also wanted to let you know that it seems like someone has come up with a fix for face #21 and #25, in case you'd still be interested in updating your templates.

Thanks for sharing your hard work with us!

The default faces had gone waay past the point where it wasn't funny any more.
But I don't like having 'perfect' looking sims. So this is perfect. Ha.

I do have one more question ^^
Does face 1 overwrite the head that's used as a 'model' while making clothes, skins, ... in Bodyshop?
Because I'm really searching how to do this (I'm trying to make a certain excisting character,
but it's really hard to make his skin when the head is different)

So if I downloaded a different face template(oepus heart shaped one), thet replaces ONE of the templates, and downloaded yours, would yours overwrite my old one?

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Hi AllenABQ

Firstly AWESOME, Totally Awesome mod thanks, and yes thanks Motoki for starting it all, so thanks again

Now I have a question, I know that everyone is saying that this mod will not change Pre-Created Sims/Default game families and such. What I am wondering though is this - If I have a complete brand new fresh install of the game & have not even opened the game at all, & install the templates first then start the game for the very first time - will it generate the those particular Sims during the two cups of coffee wait for the game to get started? I'm curious to know if the default families are actual pre-made objects or are generated at game start - if you get my meaning?

thanks in advance to anyone who can give me an answer
cheers

Hi, Simenator. I'm still learning about default townies myself, but it comes across to me that they are in fact pre-made sims with complete character files, meaning that the faces you see in-game are the faces they will always come with. If townies with fresh-faces is what you want, I think this tutorial will prove to be a great help:

Hi AllenABQ,
I'm currently in the process of converting DFRs like yours into non default for my own use. Do you have interest in adding them to your upload? At the moment I have converted only one of your files and it takes approx. one hour to edit one of them, but if you say yes I'm happy to give you copies of them when I'm finished.

They're perfect! Completely perfect! WAAAYYY more pleasant and realistic than the Maxis defaults, but still unique and maxis-matchy. Now my townies will look like themselves, but still acceptable. I especially love the C-ban face - the maxis one is notorious for it's fugliness, and yours is so pretty <3 Really good work, thank you!
