 Say Thanks!
I made another one!

BACKGROUND
A year ago or so I started my BACC, which has surprisingly gone really well. At the very beginning of setting up that hood, I established I wanted to use baby faces in the genetics of every sim in the neighborhood, which means I had to use face templates with infant faces.

As the hood progresses and I add more and more sims and townies, I keep needing more faces, and although I sometimes use other creators' templates to create them, I like the challenge of creating my own faces as well, and I always feel way more attachd to my sims and their lives when I create them from scratch.

This also means that the most convinient thing for me to do is: create face template replacements, and then make sims using those. This way, not only can I ensure my sims' babies show their genetics, but I also fix any weird facial features that may show up when my sims are toddlers, children, or teens, as sometimes, even if your new faces look amazing as adults, they're commonly unfortunate-looking in other life stages.

Anyway! If I'm creating so many faces to the point I complete full sets, I might as well package and share them! This set is called "New Neighbors" because most of these faces are being used to introduce the new sims arriving to my BACC hood and settling down, and.... yeah I'm just not that original when it comes to names :P

FILES
Once again, there are two different files you can download, but you can only pick one:
  • New Neighbors Face Templates Set Normal: Contains the 27 face replacements without infant faces, so sims made with these faces will continue having babies with the base face all babies have.
  • New Neighbors Face Templates Set Baby Faces: Contains the 27 face replacements with a corresponding infant face included. All the sims you create with these faces will produce babies with actual facial features that look like their parents', so you can see what your sims look like the moment they're born. Honestly, some very beautiful faces make butt ugly babies, but it makes for an interesting game!

THE USUAL LIST OF REMINDERS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Experienced players may already know all of these, but new simmers may not.
  • Face template replacements replace the templates the game uses to make new sims in CAS and to generate new townies and NPCs. They DO NOT affect or modify already created sims nor their offspring. Therefore, installing a new set of face templates does nothing to already existing sims.
  • You cannot have more than one replacement for each face at the same time; this won't add more templates to your game, it'll just make the game choose one and run with it, ignoring all others. If what you want is to have more face templates to your list, then you need custom or non-replacement faces, which I've tried to make myself but it's not something I want to put myself through.
  • If there is one or more faces in this set you don't want to use, simply remove the file. You do not need all 27 files for them to work individually. Furthermore, you can always pick and choose from this and other sets, and make the perfect set you want to use for your game.
  • Faces 21 and 25 are "broken", meaning they have missing features in some genders and ages. This happens with maxis and any other face template you have. You NEED to download Argon's fix in order to make them work properly; otherwise, my #21 and #25 faces and any others you install will be borked.
  • If you're interested in the game generating townies and NPCs with your new faces, know that the game doesn't use faces 26 (the elf template) and 28 (alien face) for them, since they are the supernatural faces and most people wouldn't want random elves or aliens walking around their human town. However, if you DO want that, or you've got them replaced into a human face, you need to download that fix as well.
  • If you use the infant face version of my faces, or use any face templates with baby faces, babies born from any sims created with these templates will have a super cute, matching, baby face. If both parents have any of these templates, the babies will have a mixed face. However, if a sim generated from these templates reproduces with a sim whose template doesn't have an infant one, the baby face will be mixed with the normal baby face that comes with the game.
  • If you merge any of the faces in CAS, using the right-click method, the baby faces will merge, too!

CREDITS

katu_sims' tutorial for making default face templates. I followed this tutorial when I learned how to make face template replacements.

AllenABQ's base templates, which I used for both my previous sets and this one. This is a big advantage and I'm grateful.

Meowingcookie's infant faces, which I downloaded and replaced with my baby faces.
