Almost entire family burned to death, including child - why?

If she had turned out that nicely in my hood, I would have kept her. I last had default townies in game before installing any face templates, so perhaps that had something to do with it. She was never "Sandy Bruty" fugly, but anyway. IIRC, in my game, Meadow Thayer herself was fine, but her kids all ended up with strange "chipmunk cheeks" - possibly something to do with the father.
I thought Marsha would always be the same anyway since the 'regular' townies are copies of the townies in Pleasantview (i.e. just copies of the pre-existing sim files) and aren't affected by the face templates.

Huh. That would make some sense - anyhow it was a while ago and at the time I was quite annoyed at most of the default townies. It may have been a subjective reaction on my part, but I certainly don't recall her turning out as nicely as jsalemi's pic.

That seems to be the current understanding, but I think there's some face blending that happens at each age transition if you have custom templates, especially if your replacement is very different from the default. It would be plausible that Marsha's looks could change more since she'd have an extra age transition, compared to say, Meadow.
Or... I might have hit the crack pipe a couple times too many when I thought I saw this effect in my game. ;D
Notovny, did you have replacement face templates in your game when you grew up Marsha?
notovny:
No. I've never used any replacement face templates.

Not if you turn faceblendlimits off. I do...I switch face templates every generation and generate new townies, so negating the blend makes kids stay resembling their parents.
