Two Problems: Disapearing default custom eyes and messed up mesh for jewelry
Kristalrose:
Hi there. I am having two irritating problems with my game, and wondering if anyone here has seen it or has a fix.
The first one is the problem with custom default eyes. They dissapear with one family after I have given them a makeover. They used to have beautiful green eyes made by Heleane, and they end up with ugly, cartoonish Maxis brown eyes. Once you get used to looking at everyone in the game with more realistic eyes, its very jarring to have sims with the Maxis defaults. The mother in this family is pregnant again, and I hope that the father doesn't pass on these ugly eyes to the new baby! I have tried using Sim Surgery in SimsPE to fix it with no luck. >:( I know I could do it very easilly with SimsEnhancer, but I'm too damn cheap to pay for it! LOL
My second issue is with flashing blue jewelry. I will have a sim change appearence, and will see the jewelry right there, where it is supposed to be, looking fine. I'll even change to a different set just in case, and she'll walk around fine for awhile. But then she'll leave the lot and come back blinking! What's causing this?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Sleepycat:
you should be able to fix the eyes in the sims "character file" under "age data" (open the neighborhood and go to sim description, find the sim and under "more" you can access their DNA and Character file)
you could copy the eye code (ctrl+c) from a sim that has those eyes and then paste it (ctrl+v) into the eye line, then hit 'commit", I'd do it under DNA also. save.
then they can "change appearence" with a mirror in-game to get the "new" eyes to show up.
I'm not very awake but hopefully I explained it well enough. It's really easy to do.

Dr Pixel has stated that his alpha earring mesh (the one most people use) has some severe errors in it. He's trying to fix it. Keep checking at the Blarney Stone!
Rose Outlaw:
Concerning your first problem, are you sure that Heleane's eyes weren't uninstalled after the makeover?
Kristalrose:
Thank you for all the info! :) Sleepycat--I'm booting SimsPE up now, gonna try your method and see if that works. Miros--no, I hadn't heard that about Dr. Pixel's mesh! Geeze, I guess my Sims will have to be bare of Jewlery until he gets it fixed. Thanks for the info. Rose--I am guessing that's what happened, though I don't know why it did. I gave both the father and the daughter a makeover, but have never seen it change eyecolor before. It even changed the genetics, because since then the father has had another baby, and this baby has the ugly default Maxis eyes.
