Funny business generating new professors.
Doc Doofus:
Here is something odd. I added a couple of university subhoods to Desierata Valley, the new hood that comes with Freetime. I installed the blank University templates before adding them, and generated new townies and NPCs for the university using Boolprop and the NPC/Townie Maker. All is fine and dandy.
But... Later on, I wanted to add a few more professors of certain types. The NPC/Townie Maker allows you to "Generate professor..." and select the major of the new professor. The new professors I generated are shown below.
But notice anything unusual about them? They appear to be made from the Downtown template characters! Certainly, a couple of them look familiar. They certainly were not made using my Default Faces Replacement package. One of them really counfounds me, the one that has the sports-glare-blocker smudges under his eyes in the form of full face-makeup. I can't recall ever seeing that one in a Downtown lot before.
For further baackground, I have a downtown hood installed, standard templates (with all the usual default downtownies and NPCs), and I have OFB and the Asian vacation hood installed with blank templates.
Does anybody want to make any sense of this?
I wonder now if installing some Downtown blank templates would let me generate professors that look like Kaylynn the maid, the Grim Reaper, the Hula Zombies, and the Alien Pollinator as professors. Maybe the NPC Townie Maker can't resist using whatever NPC templates it can find, rather than using the default faces.
Kyna:
I've had this happen in my game when using the townie gun.
If I switch to making downtownies (or the switch is forced by generating a diva/Mr Big or slob), then the NPCs I generate get "normal" faces using the default replacement templates in my game. If I don't switch to making downtownies, then any NPCs I generate get downtownie faces.
I don't mind the glitch. Since I let my sims date NPCs, I'm happy that some of my NPCs have make up, glasses or facial hair to match turn-ons and turn-offs.
I also find it amusing when I get a vampire wearing sunglasses.
Doc Doofus:
Have you ever seen that one at the bottom, though, the one with the smudges under his eyes? I can't remember seeing that even on a Downtownie. That one is a mystery to me.
Kyna:
Yes, I have. He's a mailman in one of my 'hoods. Downtownie template.
Emma:
Yeah, I always get him if I generate Downtownies. He always shows up wearing the vest and camoflage shorts with DMs in my game. I almost never force generate Downtownies now, too many clones!
