Making sims unique
Issy:
I tried a wide variety of face templates about a year ago and really liked the ones made by terramoskos. They have been modified to look somewhat more realistic.

Well, I too use CAS replacement faces and cleaned hoods (specifically these http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=106077 faces which are basically the Maxis ones with minute changes to the templates so they look more realistic) but I don't breed for pretty sims nor do I control their every movement (Well, it helps that I have Pescado's hacks like that baby controller and bathroom controller).
I find that the Sims can get really boring if all of your sims are beautiful and if you insist on controlling every little movement they make. I tend to marry my sims off to other sims that they have a minimum of two bolts for. I avoid cheating extensively (although with AL the needs degeneration is ridiculous so I've relaxed those rules a bit) and enjoy letting the pixels destroy themselves without any intervention from me. I roll a die (similar to the Legacy rules) for aspiration and keep the turn on's and turn off's the game chooses. Or I use these: http://sumomo.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=293685. When a sims becomes an elder (or the couple both become elders) I save and exit than never play them again. This results in a huge family and they're always coming and going, fighting and hugging, etcetera.
I find the way I play to generate very interesting looking sims and sometimes result in fighting or premature death. It's fun :) and I recommend it to everyone.

I use mine, Selzi's 2nd set (the 1st set has a bit too small of eyes for me), Katuchan's, Terrakosmos's, and someone else's. Can't recall. Bruno?...one of the faces has a bad elder conversion. I'll check when I'm home. Then I have one mixed set that is Katuchan/Terrakosmos's, and one that is a mix of all the sets. I also have two Live.packages for generated sims names. One by Jordi from MTS2. The other one by Ellatrue here.
There's a set of Enayla's skins set as defaults with extra genetics that are linked through Peasantry. I also have her eyes as geneticized defaults with a bunch of other ones that have been geneticized and made townie-ready.
For hair, I have a lot of Peggy* stuff (you have to sift through it, the girl is oblivious to her gaps), a lot of Rose* and Raon*, Helgasims, XMSims, Sims2ArtistUnion...etc, etc. You want to check out this page. Trust me.
*Pay. See booty. Booty is love. Also, many are high-polygon.

I love Nailati's face replacements: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,3804.0.html
The best way I keep all my Sims from looking alike is to use other people's self-sims. Do them up to fit your hood's aesthetic/time period, towniefy the ones you don't want to play, and go forth and breed.
Doc Doofus:
Maybe I'm tootin' my own horn, but I think my CAS replacement set is still the best. You can get it at MTS2 here:

Sadly, there are no pics anymore (I uploaded that years ago, and the pics have gone to Internet pic heaven) so you have to try it and take my word for it.
I've tried most of the other replacement sets. It doesn't hurt anything to swap them in and out and try different ones. The only one by somebody not me that I actually liked was (I think) the one by Kaituchan.)
If Sims 2 weren't in its last days, I would make a new replacement set, but...
