I would like this feature if they hadn't gone so overboard with it. I don't pay enough attention to the poses to care that those change, but I have noticed the phonebook and relationship panels taking ridiculously long to load. That is definitely something I Do Not Want.
I normally don't play with OFB businesses much but I had a Sim with the lifetime want for 5 level ten's, so I thought I'd give it a shot. He now has all the perks.. including the one that means you can call every single Sim in the neighbourhood. And my neighbourhood is large, to put it mildly. Loading that phonebook, especially the first time, was 'fun'. Luckily he doesn't use the phone much since his social is nearly constantly green thanks to spending pretty much his whole life running businesses.

Heads up: Dizzy over at The Laden Swallow has made a low-level uberhack that allegedly fixes this problem, but it's only usable with a no-CD crack.

That's great, but I'm not sure how to make the .c file and the .exe dizzy made work. It's probably not compatible with Vista. :'(
EDIT: nvm, I got the 'file is patched' message (just had to re paste-copy the AL no-cd .exe). Whooo, going to test it out now.

Oh thank fuck! Now I play my other hoods. I haven't been touching them as the portraits change upon loading and I like them a certain way because I'm a fussy bastard.

I have worked out that the portrait is wiped every time a sim inits, resets or errors. I think it's not so much that the game wants to make a new one than that the reset wipes out the old one, and provided your sim is in play at the time the game knows it has to generate a portrait for him.
That explains why there are so many missing in SimPE. You know when you add hacks to the game, or remove them, you go into the game and find some families standing to attention by their beds? Well that means they were reset as they reached a line of code you have removed or replaced by a hack or other custom object. The ones without pictures in SimPE are ones who have had their stacks reset but who you haven't played since, in order to regenerate their portraits.
