I also have Argon's fix to allow the "elf" template among the townie population but opted not to have the "alien" face breeding among the general populace without abductions. ;o)
Actually that one was by terrakosmos. As far as tweaking between ages is concerned, wouldn't that only be useful for Sims made in CAS/townies? As far as I know, the children inherit the facial data of the parents, if you have the archetype different between ages it won't make any difference. Does anyone know if that is right or not? :-\
Doc Doofus:
Changing the archetype files has NO effect on the gene pool of already existing Sims.
I'm not sure I understand the question about tweaking "between ages" and how that relates.

I would pay big, smacking whomploads of cash (if I, you know, had such a thing ;p) for them to quit with the Stan Laurel routine. Both in CAS and out of it.
That is one of the things I hate about Sims 2.
I was a Sims 1 fanatic. Some of us had spent a lot of time figuring out how to make realistic faces for the Sims in Sims 1. I had it down to an art, using model and celebrity photos and a kind of formula for transforming and warping the photo to fit the various head meshes. Then along came Sims 2 and the cartoon heads you couldn't work around. It was so disheartening I quit the game for about a year.
Ya know, I've been pissing around with this game since the beginning. It's something to brag about, perhaps, but god, what a shame. I could have done something more useful with my life.
I recall, back in 1983, I had just asked a girl I loved to marry me and been turned down and dumped in the course of a month. And been layed off. I had just got a plug-in synthesizer system for my Apple II, and spent about three weeks holed up in my apartment converting Beethoven's 7th Symphony into a computer synthesizer version. At that time, I had possibly the last half-civil conversation with my father at t. He dropped by, and I showed him all the work I was doing, excited. The floor was covered with cigarette butts and cat puke and sheet music photocopies and schematics. He shook his head, confused and obviously disapproving, and said:
"So what are you going to do with it, sell it?"
"No. Hadn't thought of it."
"Then why are you doing it?"
"Good Lord, it's Beethoven's 7th Symphony!" I said, outraged. "What further explanation could possibly be necessary!" End of conversation.
His ghost still haunts me. I'm sure his ghost doesn't approve of my spending time on Sims. But shit, Beethoven you just don't mess with.

Any sane person would instantly regret asking such a stupid question. :P

If you mean installing the templates and then growing up children who existed before you installed them--no, I don't think it will affect how those existing Sims look. However, due to the way the game uses the templates to blend features in newly-bred Sims, it may have some effect on what their descendants look like.
