mourning.glory Test Subject Join Date: Nov 2004 Posts: 7	I have a bit of problem with this. I proformed plastic surgery on a sim (Tybalt Capp) to make his cheeks less shrunken in, and it turned out well (He really is good looking with a little help). I then followed this method and changed his genetics. However when he had a child her cheeks were HUGE, obviously because I had made his bigger with plastic surgery. Is there anyway to get around this? I just want good looking children!

Ehm, not really, but you can check if you've got FaceBlendLimits on or off (search the forum how to, it's just a cheat function). If it's off, then you're bound to get more extreme features in your children.

I feel sooo much happier now I have learned to change their faces and make it genetic. My game feels like it is full of my own sims now, not full of sims I dislike and avoid. I cannot thank you enough for teaching me how to do this and for making my game so much more fun and rewarding to play!

Gesundheit Test Subject Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 16	I can follow the tutorial just fine until the last step, saving changes. It says Warning: Changes Cannot Be Saved! This has happened before, on other things... what should I do? [error]This is just a Warning. It is supposed to keep you informed about a Problem. Most of the time this is not a Bug!

Wow, a lot has happened since I've been gone. Sorry about that, but I'm back now, sort of.

I know this is a bit late, but the answer is that your files are set to "read-only" probably. To remedy this go to your "Characters" folder, (but DO NOT open it). Right click, and disable "read-only", click "apply". If this doesn't work, I'm not sure.
Check to see that only SimPE has access to that folder (is every other Sims programma closed? i.e. Sims Bodyshop...)

Happy Simming!

(I was trying to package him to bodyshop as well so I could use him later.) edit: yes, please do replace those pictures in the first post. I luckily understood the text enough to avoid doing something horribily wrong. owo;

There is a bug apparently in SimPE or Seasons so that sometimes the extracted file is named the wrong way. Check my updated tutorial for a fix.
