These are beautiful! I guess we have the same taste when it comes to slanted eyes and overall look of the face.

Wow... *gush gush* I love these! I will definitely incorporate a few into my collection of CAS faces. I think these are just as good and even better than the older ones already on site as well, so don't be ashamed of them in any way!

Oh, and a HUGE TYVM for including all the links in one place - that's a really kind and helpful thing to do - not just uploading something for download, but providing all the other relevant info as well

PS. I admire your restraint in dealing with the "haters". Stupid haters!

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

Default Yet another thank-you..
I'm glad you offered your faces in different packages since I have made my own faces for the first three slots and I wouldn't want to mess with them

I will not dwld these as I don't particulary need them but I appreciate your work and the honesty that make you provide all the links for other's work and ways to do our own replacement set. I also enjoy the niceness of your answers to everyone.

Wow, great job on these. I just wanted to say the #25 CC/blonde female in your screenshots is adorable. Also, may I ask if anyone could point me to where I could get that hair? (I know I've seen it somewhere before but cannot remember where it's at!) Thank you.

Wowza! These are simply beautiful. Thank you so much for making them.
It took me some work to get them to show up in my game, but I finally succeeded, thanks to Phantomgremlock's great advices. \^^/

Some of the comments on this thread have been pretty mean. o_ó
I think these are great just the way they are. And these are supposed to be the way YOU like them, right? If someone prefers more racially correct faces, or just doesn't like these, they don't have to download. Why bitch about something you don't like when you can just ignore it?

Anyways, thanks again, I love these faces. No more Maxis monkey faces. : D

I stopped the game deleted the file CASThumbnails.package, restarted the game and everything worked out extremely well the second time as in the image below.

Congrats, there were no real flaws, I loved your work. Don't bother changing anything, if people don't like something they can always change the eyes etc. themselves. Thats not a big problem.

I'm so glad it worked out for your after deleting that second file! You're right, if someone creates a sim and isn't pleased with the faces he/she can change the features as much as he/she likes. That's what we all did with the Maxis faces before any CAS face replacements came out, right?

Again, I'm so sorry for that ... But at least your Sarakadie faces worked, so you're not stuck with the Maxis faces!

phantomgremlock already gave you some advice what to do - after trying that out you might want to redownload them and delete the files cigen.package and CASThumbnails.package. If that doesn't work either I'm out of solutions ...

The set is just the faces without the eyebrows. If you just download the faces and nothing else your faces will look like the ones phantomgremlock posted earlier in this thread - they have the standard Maxis eyebrows. With the Helaene default eyebrows your townies will look like mine on the pictures.

to enjoy in the game, but I will owe the ability to make the choice to you.

I think it will be lots of fun to collect a personal set of default replacement faces by looking through all of the sets and choosing one's personal favorite face for each one of the 27 faces. The result will be a unique set that probably noone else has, as well as the most beautiful townies ever!

I think these are wonderful and its the first time I download face replacements as it makes it worth it to see these beautiful faces.
How anyone can say they are alike I don't understand as they are so different. Maybe they need glasses!
Thank you so much and keep up the great work you are doing. You should be really proud of yourself.

Yours are the ones I like the best. The replacements by others didn't appeal to me. Thanks a lot! Your hard work was all worth it, the outcome is amazing. I don't mind that there are no africaan feautures, I never create any africaan sims anyway.

I downloaded these and, after looking at them in-game, I am *really* impressed with your work. Now, all my townies are smoking-hot babes. Which is just the way I like it. Thanks so much for sharing this, and I look forward to seeing future downloads from you!

I finally got to play test these lastnight. I was still worried they wouldn't show up outside of CAS, so I created a new neighborhood and moved all my sims there (since I wanted to get far far away from Fuglyville) and used the Townie Tree to spawn new townies. And OMG! Watching the thumbnails alone was breathtaking! Combined with all the loverly custom genetics they got, every single farking one of my townies is now a hottie!

I found myself getting completely distracted by the walk-bys when I was trying to take pics of my latest creations, and kept having to zoom in on them.

I'm SO glad that these work on low graphics settings. This is so far the only set that seems to, or at least the only set I liked that seems to. I don't mind if they all look similar, since as someone stated above, the only ones in my game who will have unaltered template faces are townies/npc's anyway.

Again, thanks SO much for these! I hope they get featured, you really deserve it!

selzi, these look amazing! I imagine a lot of people are going to really enjoy them.

This kind of project takes a lot of patience, so congratulations! Your set is so unique and lovely, especially with the custom content.

I finished another set last month that I'm (finally) satisfied with and I'm in the process of testing them. I haven't mustered up the courage to upload them yet because I kind of like a little fugliness in my gene pools nowadays. Heh. Plus, you and Nailati make me look like the amateur I am. How dare you! :D

Anyway, I don't think these faces all look alike. The faces in my old set look alike, but I wouldn't say the same for yours. There is a similarity among them, but that's not a bad thing. At least they all appear to be the same species, unlike the Maxis originals. But hey, you can't please everyone.

I encourage anyone who's not satisfied with any of the available sets to try making their own. It's worth the trouble, even if you choose not to upload them.

Nice job, selzi!

The files which are recommended to be deleted are the following:

My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/cigen.package
My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/groups.cache
My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Thumbnails/CASThumbnails.package

It's totally safe to delete those files as they are regenerated by the game on startup.

You can't imagine how thrilled I was when I read your comment. I love your templates, I've used them for months now until I decided to make my own. Some time ago you mentioned in Nailati's thread over at MATY that you were planning to make a new set, and I've been dying to see your new work ever since. I'm so excited you're finished now, and I'd love to see your new set, as well as tons of other people here, I'm sure! I'd be so happy if you uploaded your new set, as we can never have enough replacement faces so that everyone can find the set he/she likes best ... :lovestruc

Anyway, in my opinion your old set was absolutely gorgeous, so your new set must be even better ... :lovestruc And you're not an amateur at all, you were one of my muses for this set! :D

(and on a more feedbacky note, I'd have to say that they all look very much the same. I needed your numbers to even realize it wasn't the same face over and over)



Um, if you don't like them then don't get them?

I understand why you may not like them (I prefer Jewish features myself, and that usually means big noses, as I'm sculpting my Sims based on my family), but it's fairly easy to alter them in CAS or in BodyShop to create individual characteristics, so that's one thing, and the other thing is that if it's not your cup of tea, well... just... don't get them, that's all I can suggest. Nobody will be angry if you don't like them, but please, don't take it as a personal attack that she didn't make a larger variety of Sim faces here, and please, don't take it out on her that the variation is too limited for your liking.

Please try not to be hurtful; we need all the Sim modifiers we can get, especially the totally untalented blokes and lasses like myself.

These look wonderful, selzi! I love the overall look & style that this set is in, and erhaps this will enable me to use bases other than the first one I especially like the elf template! I plan to mix & match from different sets of replacements and not replace some maxis faces at all, but I have a feeling that yours will slowly take over my game Wonderful job, and thanks for all your hard work
