Changing eyecolor?
Roux:
You actually can get the new eye color to show up in the game. I recently removed some custom eyes from my game, and was able to get characters to display the 5 defaults. After some extensive searching, I found some instructions posted here by SleepyCat.

you should be able to fix the eyes in the sims "character file" under "age data" (open the neighborhood and go to sim description, find the sim and under "more" you can access their DNA and Character file)
you could copy the eye code (ctrl+c) from a sim that has those eyes and then paste it (ctrl+v) into the eye line, then hit 'commit", I'd do it under DNA also. save.
then they can "change appearence" with a mirror in-game to get the "new" eyes to show up.
So, change it both in Sim DNA and in the character file age data, and you should be good to go. Worked for me, though it was a PITA to do all the SimPE changes, and then summon each of the sims in-game (townies, to my chagrin) and fix their appearances. No more townie-enabled custom eyes for me!
Swiftgold:
Changing skins and eyes and DNA was the reason I got the TS2Enhancer originally, since it just involves choosing from a drop-down menu and hitting "save". I remade my three custom skins to match my default replacements and was able to replace it on all the Sims with it with just a few clicks, which was nice. You still have to change appearance to get the eyes to show up any way you do it, though.
However, I am upset with having to pay for updates so often (and Freetime didn't change things as much as Pets did, for example!) so I am not buying it anymore and just using SimPe instead, even if it's more time-consuming. If you just want to make quick one-time changes, though, it does have a trial period and would be worth trying.
Insanity Prelude:
Thanks again :)
I guess one of the files I saved with Simsurgery the other day was just more corrupted than the rest or something because I tried again last night and it worked fine (albeit iwth some graphical glitches until I'd cloned and deleted the exports.) No crashes this time. Weird.
Ellatrue:
I've had that happen with a downloaded sim before. Sometimes it just borks.
I wonder, can this method be used for replacing custom skins as well? Or should I just give up and edit the texture files directly?
witch:
There is a crack for Sims2Enhancer, don't know if it still works. I haven't bothered with the program for ages/years. It corrupts hoods if you have compressed files.
