I never even considered this was possible. You have officially made my list of Modding Gods.

Amazing job. Thankyou this will come in very handy, much nicer than the trouts they (maxis) give you. Look out for some on my sims to come.

Motoki deserves the credit for figuring it out. I just followed his instructions.

Nah, I just messed with a few files, you did all the hard work.

BTW, if any of the mods here want to put up my tutorial here in the tutorials section I don't mind. You can just cut and paste it in a new thread. I'd do it myself but I don't have access to post in the forum.

WOW!

This is so cool! Finally, more realistic face templates. I agree with you, most of the default Maxis face templates are a bit, "exaggerated" when it comes to facial features. And most of them really aren't THAT realistic.

Thanks! You are a genius in creating this. An original, I must admit.

One note, though.

"What this mod doesn't do:
1. It doesn't prevent the game from choosing bad combinations when randomly putting together townies/NPCs. For example, the game could pick an asian face and give the sim dark skin, green eyes, and a red mohawk."

Personally, I don't think that THAT is a bad combination. THERE ARE ALOT of asians with dark skin tones (who are exceptionally good-looking!), especially in tropical countries in asia like India, Thailand, Sri Lanka & even the Philippines who wear green, blue or grey contact lenses which don't really elicit bad reviews from public. So, a dark skinned asian wearing green contacts sporting a red mohawk doesn't really look that bad, right? Actually, there is a famous handsome rock star here who fits the "bad combination" you described.

I still am in awe with your creation, though. And you are truly a creative guy for thinking a marvelous idea like this.

Again, thank you for this.

Downloading it.

This is amazing, I can now basically just click Randomize button in Body Shop and start applying makeup and clothing to sims, no need to edit faces at all.

To each their own. I've personally never seen a combination like that outside of the game. But hey! If you like it, go for it! I was just trying to address the known propensity of the game to come up with outlandish combinations because of its randomness.

Remember, I didn't promise "beauty" with this set. No doubt some people will still find some of these sims ugly. But if you really don't like messing with the face controls then yes you don't have to do near so much tinkering now to get rid of Maxis-inspired fugliness!

I, for one, am thrilled with this mod. I was really sick of those troll faces, especially the eyes that are way too big and the lips that protruded grotesquely out of proportion. Ghastly! Thanks for this. While it may not make them all pretty (that's the way of the real world), it does make them look more 'normal.'

Life isn't about the breaths we take, it's about the moments that take our breaths away...

My gosh! I am so speechless! I've had the hardest time with the maxis fugliestness! For some reason my asian sims (after 2 HOURS) of tinkering looked alright, then they reproduced. I just can't play that house anymore without wanting to kill that baby! Hopefully now I will be able to make "normal sims" without so much hassle & use SimPE to fix the abomination. Thank you so much!

Wasn't there a hack that allowed you to delete all your townies so they would regenerate? I'm almost sure I saw that somewhere. That would be the perfect hack to have to go with this mod.

If you access the NPC/Townie Maker object, there is an option to kill all townies. Not sure if that's what you mean. I don't know if it kills NPCs as well.

Thanks so much, I use risky woohoo and ugly children with townies can be a tragic consequence!

Great Mod!


Downloading later, when I fix my video card tomarrow.

One question, is there anyway for the game not to pick ugly clothing combinations?

Unfortunately, no. Anyone who can program fashion sense into this game would be my personal savior!
