'Randomly' changing faces
Arina:
To start with, I've got all of the EPs, if that helps at all.
One of the face-changing incidents was when a CAS adult female set a uniform for her home business and wore it - it gave her a face which I think is the first template face in the (1st skintone) white adult female section. I kinda freaked out, told her to 'wear casual clothes' and her real face came back, so that was ok.
But the unsolved and unfixed ones are kinda annoying. She has twin children with her husband who live on the lot. The daughter resembles her, the son resembles his dad, but the daughter has dad's 'normal' ears and the son has mum's elf ears - well, had. He had them as a toddler and as a child. Then after a few days I was doing a 'change appearence' on him and I noticed that he no longer had elf ears (he was still a child - I don't know if he had them straight away after he grew up, though, as the hair covered it). Second unsolved: a townie I made was supposed to be Japanese and I made his face to look like that. However when he recently visited the business, I noticed that he had a completely different face. Eyes were still similar but the nose was completely different at least. All I can think of is that the business is a salon and he'd had makeovers both successful and not, but surely that shouldn't be changing his facial structure?
Another family was started in CAS. One guy with a 'default' face that I made and two dogs. I quite clearly remember putting that face on him after thinking about another one with a bigger chin and smaller eyes - I decided on the one I made and finished making him. I am sure that in the CAS screen he had this face. When I moved him and his pets onto a lot, I realised, when clicking on something and making a menu, he had that other face. This one could be down to me undoing something and not realising but I really, really doubt it - I do skin then face then everything else. I don't think there's any way I would have done contacts and makeup and eyebrows without realising it was the wrong face, but I suppose it is possible - but what it seems to me is that again, some poor sim's face changed on them for a reason I can't work out.
This is a fairly old neighbourhood but I did a deleteallcharacters before I made the two families living in it. I've made townies and, when visiting community lots, spawned NPCs, but really not enough to be causing problems (terrible things have happened before when 3 families are onto the 15th generation and everyone has siblings and there are lots and lots of townies and not much inbreeding but I recognise when that's happening and I don't think this is the problem here.)
Can anyone help me, please? I've not done a full reinstall because I don't want to unless it's necessary... and I've had plenty of problems in my game before that I've managed to at least sort-of fix, but I'm really stuck with this. Searches for 'face changes' or anything just tell me about plastic surgery or dna-editing or replacing templates, not this kind of madness ???
Strangel:
I don't know about the changing-faces, but I can tell you the problem with your CAS+Pets face..
For SOME reason when making a family in CAS and including pets, all sims revert to default face template when tossed into Sim Bin. The best workaround right now is to make the sim family, drop them in a lot, and have them go out and BUY the pets.
Edit: Buy them or go back into CAS and make them, then join them to the family once the family is in a lot.
Arina:
Thank you, I'll do that in future, then! (And I'm glad I've not gone insane XD)
The first sim I mentioned was created with a cat, but her face was fine. But her face was heavily edited inside CAS... Whether that has an effect on it or not, I don't know, but I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to faces I really didn't want :)
cwykes:
just wondered if this was connected to the "faceless sim" problem. change appearance on the faceless sim gives them a default face, a second change appearance fixes it. Try two changes. The fix doesn't stick for my sims unfortunately, but might work for yours. At least yours aren't faceless!
Are they alien skin like mine by any chance?
Gwill:
I spent ages making my crazy cat lady scary and hidious in Bodyshop and CAS, only to experience that exact problem.
Most people complain about their pretty sims turning ugly. My ugly sim turned pretty.
