Custom skins and townie generation
Ancient Sim:
I have quite a few custom skins binned in exactly the same way' Although the majority of my non-playables have Maxis skin, I have three townies with binned custom skins and also a pizza delivery person (although in the case of the latter, I think I altered him myself as he's a redhead so I wanted him to have my redhead skin complete with freckles). I also get babies born with those skins even though their parents don't have them, that happens quite often. The binned custom hair comes up more often, I have quite a few non-playables with those.
jsalemi:
I've also had new townies show up with custom skin tones, but that's because I went through all of the custom skins in my game and fixed their genetics so they fit properly in the Maxis skin spectrum. I learned how from here -- I believe there's a thread in Peasantry about it.
Yup, here it is: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,2966.0.html

And according to Pescado, DAC is hopelessly broken, more than was originally thought, so to be safe you should make custom townies the long way anyway.
DAC does a VERY incomplete job, leaving dangling SDSCs and even SWAFs everywhere. After you use it, you have to go to SimPE and finish the job by deleting all SDSCs and SWAFs.
Umm.. Pescado. Will you explain or point to a post that explains what a dangling SWAF/SDSC is? *looks down* 'Cause last I checked my SWAF was definitely NOT dangling, thank you very much.

Good thing. If it dangles too much you'll have to have it removed...and that's painful, believe you me.
(I shouldn't have just been reading that thread about the poor Chinese fellow...)
Jelenedra:
Dangling SWAF/SDSCs are caused by improper deletion. Basically, when you delete a sim00015 in-game, you just delete the sim, the sim description and their Wants and Fears and all that jazz is still hanging around in your game files.
This can cause a BFBVFS when you get a new sim (either by birth or through CAS) as instead of getting a brand new sim file, they get the old number, sim00015. New sim, but the old sim's SWAFs are corrupting the new sims files. So, you got two different SWAFS and SDSCs hanging around for one sim.
Like I said earlier in another topic, it's how you get toddlers with LTW other than "Grow Up." Because an adult sim was the last one with simfilename00015, they get the adult's Wants and Fears instead of toddler ones. Which is a VBT.
Do I get a gold star? Or did I confuse everyone?
