Cloning an in game sim (in looks, mainly.)
Skadi:
There used to be a simpe add on that allowed you to do simsurgery from a saved bodyshop sim. You would use simpe to export the sim, as a toddler, open bodyshop, clone the exported sim, make the changes you wanted (optionally flicking between ages to see what the spawn will look like), save the sim and then use this plug in to save the body shop sim over the in game toddler(s).
That's what I always did, I didn't want to have clones running around my hood, and Deleted2 is to much of a pain in the arse fro me.
Doc Doofus:
The trick for making plastic surgery changes genetically inheritable (mentioned above) should do the trick.
You might have to wait until the baby grows up to at least toddler, because I don't think infants have LXNR facial structure files.
Anyway, here goes on how you can do this.
1. Find the Sim whose face you would like to clone in SimPe. Then, in the plug-in view, click on Other, then Open File to open the Sim's personal file.
2. In the Sim's file, you should see in the resource list an item that says Facial Structure, then LxNR. If there is more than one, use the one with instance number 2. Right click on that Facial Structure, and choose Save to the desktop.
3. Reopen your neighborhood again in SimPe.
4. Find a Sim you want to change so it will look like the one you were dealing with in step 1, above. Click Other, then Open File, to open that Sim's file.
5. Go down the resource list looking for the item that says Facial Structure LxNR. If you have never done plastic surgery on this Sim, then there should only be one. (Otherwise, do the next step to both of them).
6. Right click on that Facial Structure, and choose Replace. When it asks for the name of the file, choose from the file you saved on the desktop earlier. There will be one file (with a long name) ending in .simpe, and another in .xml. USE THE ONE THAT ENDS IN .SIMPE.
--- Side note ---
You can also do this from males to females and vice versa. The interesting difference being that you will see what those same face genetics would look like on a member of the opposite sex. It won't give a male the face of a female, but it will let you see what your male Sim would have looked like if he had the same genetics. I have done this many times to fugly Maxis-made townie males that were on the verge of becoming fathers, so his progeny would have a better chance of looking good.
J. M. Pescado:
If the sim has 2 LXNRs, you should delete the second one. instance 1 is the "real" one.

I'd like to interject that, at least in my game, identical sim twins born in game do in fact exist. Of the 2 sets of twins I've had born in my game (yes. 2 sets. in all these years) one of them *was* an identical pair. Two boys, exactly the same features/looks and exactly the same astrological sign and personality points. The only difference was in their interests. And they were born after rerandomizing with the lot debugger.
Unfortunately that set was born in a neighborhood I did not save when SP3 blew up my comp and forced me to reformat so I have no proof.
But it happened I swear!

Without pictures it is all lies!
I've had extremely near-identical twins before. They had just the slightest variation on the mouth, but everything else was the same. This was way back at basegame or basegame + NL, as it was on my laptop.
