Also, some homely children grow up to look quite attractive as adults and the reverse is also true sometimes.
So true! I really should keep pictures of all my sims because most of the time if the kids aren't downright funny-looking they're homely as all get out! Once they age transition some of them turn into right attractive sims. (Please note, I didn't say beautiful--that only happens once in a while in my game.)
Renatus:
Maxon, the replacement templates definitely will work on newly generated townies. I use AllenABQ's templates, myself, and while they aren't completely to my liking they are a damn sight better than the templates that came with the game. It's really only the NPCs who end up pulling from the templates in my game since I make my own townies, but those NPCs fit with the rest of the neighborhood.
I once took out the replacement templates because I wanted to use one of the defaults and the replacement changed it too much, and was horrified all over again by the default templates. Eurgh! A few are workable, but the rest are horrid without extensive reworking. Needless to say I put the replacements back in immediately.
Jelenedra:
The problem I have with most of the replacement templates that are available are that most of the faces look TOO similiar. So the townies all look the same. :-\ Allen (something, forget the full screenname) suggested a group of people making different simmies for a collection, that way it is a lil more diverse. I'd be all up for contributing, I just don't think I could tackle making my own replacements myself.

InSim isn't the kitten killer - it's just another large scale hack that invades your game.
How could InSim "invade" anyones game? it dosen't do anything unless you select something for it to do, its not a global hack ::)
edit - really didn't need the extra "could"
Renatus:
Jelenedra, I've noticed that problem too, and with every other set I've seen. It's not so bad when you want them so your NPCs don't look like googly-eyed circus freaks, but it's not so good when you rely on them for game-generated townies and such. Some of the faces look more similar in Body Shop than they really are - that dead-grey mannequin flattens a lot of detail - but overall, yes, they are too similar.
I keep meaning to make a set, myself, with a variety of ethnicities, but keep not doing it because my project list is already stupidly long. Nevermind that all of the time I've spent here I could have made five sets already *cough, ahem*. ::)

Sleepycat, I can only guess that a lot of functions that require reading documentation to figure out equals big bad nasty that will take over your mind and make you cheat forevermore! Or something. I dunno, there is a hell of a lot of stuff in it but I recently found out it is dead useful for any situation in which I need to alter relationships, usually in townies and adoption pool kids where I don't want the teens that I've made be related to their arbitrary CAS parent. Once I figured out where those options were, I ignored the rest. Easy. Sure, the file is big for a hack, but it's smaller than most of the individual clothing items I have, so any impact on loading times is minimal - if I thought it would be a problem I'd find an outfit I was no longer particularly attached to and delete it. Again, easy.
