You're talking about the eye replacements? They cannot possibly conflict with this mod or any other standard mod, it's practically impossible. They are only _IMG (.dds images) and if they are new eyes, extras, not default replacement on the EA eyes, then they will have a CASP file with them which the eyemaker needs to write themselves; so the CASP can really never conflict with anything else either. Only someone else's default replacement eyes, lol.

I'll have a new version of this mod tomorrow sometime with the face issue described by babajagaman fixed. I haven't done the female on this yet but presumably it will work the same as on the male sim, which is fine now. The things mentioned by Cheekykinz will all be altered, the eyes caused by the lowered eyebrows won't be there on the adult or elder, the lips alteration on the females isn't necessary because it's so slight anyway, I don't even know why it's in there in the first place, ha ha. The gauntness on the side of the face of the male sim I have reduced to a much lower value, but will look at that again tomorrow

Thank you so much! Your mods saving our games as usual!

thank you again, i'm really looking forward to it.
i am playing still without aging. i don't see a point in it to design sims' faces meticulousy just to have them set back by EA's sloppy programming. i installed again the CAS testing version & indeed already in this promotion thing is that set-back-bug inside when one changes the gender. i didn't notice it then cause i even didn't imagine that EA can boast about their great CAS improvements while programming it so incomplete, it effects Sims' genetics & is therefore unplayable. this game is still really just a beta.

Thank you so very much for this fix. :)

Mod is updated to V2 now.

it's great now :D
EA can now bring their update or not, hehe ...

the only thing remaining for me to do now is to get rid of that adult face skin, which changes the face between the YA to A in an unnatural way. nobody ages that way in reality.
but that has of course nothing to do to with your mod, thank you for your patience

What files do I need to delete before installing mods?

Just the thumbcache?

Thanks for the fix btw, this has been driving me crazy!

I have never deleted any files before installing any mods, it's never been necessary for me. But in general, besides the one you mention, in the folder called cache you can delete any files except the one called FileCache.ini. The file named temp#####js.cache is a cache file, and more of these temp files will appear if you use the Gallery a lot, or maybe new ones appear because you play different save games. Also picture files will be cached in that folder from the Gallery if you use it a lot, and all of this stuff can be deleted.

I don't want to seem nitpicky but another problem persists with your mod. For some reason, premade sims in my library get that face glitch when I age them down from young adult to teen and up from young adult to adult and elder. This doesn't effect randomly generated sims,though.

I posted comparison screenshots here.

I don't get the result you are showing in those screenies. With my male sim who I made when the game was new, and with the EA premade males in the Library, the jaw/head does not drop down like that. It remains in place exactly the same as if I use randomize for a male sim, and age them up and down.

Thank you for this mod, Shimrod!!!

New patch fixed this EXCEPT now it's happening in the YA stage instead of the adult stage. So sounds like a fix is still needed.

The new patch did not fix anything, it did not even address the issue. What they have done is REVERT back to prior to the Oct.1st patch. With that patch they added 3 new Cas Modifier files (6 files actually, 3 XML and 3 DATA, but this is 3 "Modifiers", each requires an XML file and a DATA file).

What they have done now is remove these 3 new modifiers! These three were TeenMale, AdultMale and ElderMale; the entire problem is that these 3 did not jive with the YoungAdultMale file which was in the game from the start, since the CaS Demo; the new ones were written a bit differently.

My recommendation is that anyone using this mod keep using it after this patch, the mod does not need "updating" to "comply" with their "changes"; they have changed these by REMOVING!!!!!!!! one third of these modifiers which our sims need, as opposed to, IDK, writing them correctly and leaving them in the game maybe? I am gravely disappointed.

*Chuckles* I would like to say I'm surprised but, well, I'm not.

Anyhow good to know. I had thought with the patch notes there would no longer be a need for this fix but clearly that's not the case. Thanks for the clarification.

Just reporting on something weird that started now that I have this mod and the latest update. I don't have the problem with the aging up and down anymore, but now since the most recent update and with this mod installed I am starting to have an issues were occasionally when editing a sim, changing their hairstyle makes the jaw drop and the eyes shrink, its happening for males and females and was not an issue prior to the update. It doesn't happen every time I change their hair, but if I do it several times in a row, it will happen. Its not a set number of tries, I can change the hair 3-4 times and it happens, and sometimes I change their hair 9-10 times before it happens. I found out it was just with this mod by trying out each mod I have on its own, and it only happens with this one. The other mods I have are an age length adjusting mod, and the mod to stop the generation of random townies. I removed these, cleaned the cache files, keeping this mod in. The problem was still there. So I removed this mod, cleaned the cache files again, played around for a few hours in CAS, and it didn't happen once. I put the other mods back in, and it was still fine. Added this mod back in, and within 15 minutes of playing around in CAS, it happened again when changing hair.

Kind of a strange issue, not sure what the problem can be or how it related. I don't have any other CC other than some custom eye colors and some clothing recolors, and the two mods mentioned above. Not real sure what to make of it.

This saddens me.

Thanks Shimrod for the details.

I cannot duplicate this issue, it simply doesn't happen with any kind of sim whatsoever. You have no custom hair installed?

Thanks so much for this mod (and so many others you created!) and for the explanation as to why EA's "fix" isn't a fix at all. EA needs to put you on their payroll!

Yes, I've read it. And?
I don't really have any comment.

No, no custom hair at all. I had this mod installed before the most recent patch and all was fine. This didn't start happening until the patch, and its only with this mod in. Its very strange. Reading the other post someone mentioned, they said they didn't think your mod was the cause but that it seemed to possibly trigger it more because of the fixes it was trying to make. That seems possible, the whole cas/genetics system seems to just be really screwy.

If you change gender on a male sim to female, the face is always a little bit different; the shape of the face and jawline from under the ears and down around the chin, the female will have the rounder face. It is supposed to be this way. Is this what you are complaining about? Also the nose will not be precisely the same, the female nose is supposed to be different from a male nose, because she's a girl, y'know?

This mod is updated to V3.

I do not see 500 users of this mod posting what you are posting. Presumably if everyone on Earth who is using it were seeing exactly the same as you, they would have stated it here. I cannot duplicate what you are describing, I've tried and it simply doesn't happen; and I also do not see 500 users of Heliantheas' eyes stating they have the exact same problem. Heliantheas states they have attempted to duplicate the issue as you have described it there, and don't manage to do it.
