Default How to edit the face of an existing family member
Hey,
In the beginning, I created my family, and now I'm playing the game for a quite while. Now, I would like to edit one of my family characters that I had created in the beginning, I'd like to edit the face a bit and make it better. Can't seem to find out how. Is it possible? If yes, how do I do it?

yes.
Put in the cheat "boolProp Testingcheatsenabled true"
hold shift and click on the newspaper and go to career rewards
give yourself the show business career reward (the plastic surgery thingy)
you can use that to edit every other physcal aspect of your sims face that can't be edited with a mirror. :werd:

Thanks for that! But Ctrl + shift + C doesnt work, I've heard it has something to do with CursorXP, but I still didn't find out how to fix that. :confused:

Hey I found it. I opened the CursorXP configuration and went to options, then preferences, and then changed the activation key(who was actually the same as the cheat box). Everything fixed, thanks again for the reply

Why not try Sim Surgery with SimPE?

Nope you can't really create a new face like in the CAS, I think?
Anyway, there's a thing I don't understand. The newspaper thing. Where is it?

Maybe not newspaper, but try the mailbox.

For anyone wishing to really alter the face of an "in game" sim, and permanently, it's worth learning how to transfer facial structures from the game sims onto a sim in Body Shop. Believe me, it'll be worth it as neither CAS nor the plastic surgery reward are capable of fixing a disfugured face (like most of Maxis-furnished sims) unless the entire face is changed to one of the few defaults. I could make a tutorial on how to do this, but it would have to be an older version (0.31) of SimPE which is what I still use. Basically what we need to do is extract the facial structure from the character package file we want to fix, open a known Body Shop sim (71f979a6_xxxxxxx) file and replace its facial structure with the one previously extracted, close SimPE, open Body Shop and do whatever face lifting we want, close Body Shop, open SimPE again and extract facial structure from the altered BS sim, open character file again and replace facial structure. Do this along with replacing DNA skintone codes in the neighborhood package file, and next time you play, all the changes (face and skintone) are automatically applied when the game runs. Using Sim Surgery will get you what you want, but at the cost of creating an additional character which serves no additional purpose, which you will have to manually delete from the game in order to keep everything neat. I think learning to replace facial structures through Body Shop is a worthwhile process if one intends to eventually fix all the sims in the game.
