'Randomly' changing faces
Arina:
I'm sorry this is quite late, I've not been able to get onto the forums.
These sims didn't have alien skin, and I don't think any changed to the 1st face, apart from the one with the business outfit and that was temporary.
I don't think the faceless bug is related, though it could be... anyway, what I ended up doing was wiping the neighbourhood and doing a shiny no townies or pets restart of it. 2 families and generations in, and everyone still has their faces. Related? No idea. But with daily backups, hopefully it'll stay like this :P Thanks for all your advice, though. :)

I've had the problem with CAS sims w/ pets changing after move-in. I have an extracted pollination technician that I 'created' in CAS, though I made no changes to him. When I moved him, his family, and their cat into the neighbourhood, his face changed to a default template, though it still retained the alien eyes. I had to cheat the plastic-surgery station into existence just to *somewhat* change him back how he was. Since installing Pets, I have also had problems with mirrors, all mirrors, even Maxis ones not allowing me to put collars on pets, even though I *know* I bought the correct-sized collar. I am getting very exasperated with my game.
Edited to include: Yes, I was trying to use the floor mirrors for pets, not the wall mirrors.

I've had problems with the faces reverting to Maxis faces with OFB (when changing into uniform) from the first day I got OFB...I have never been able to use uniforms due to this issue. Even changing the face in a mirror doesn't fix it for me (though I'll try doing it a few times as mentioned above)
I don't get it, and it really bums me out because I want some really skanky clothes for my backroom club but I don't necessarily want them to wear them all the time. :)
Anyway, I don't see a definitive answer to the whole work outfit problem....I just don't understand how something so blatantly wrong could go unfixed by EA/Maxis....
Am I missing something, or is there no definite fix for this?
I haven't had the problem with CAS and Pets, and I'm glad I caught this thread before I made any families with pets. I've always added pets to my established families....I'm very glad I did!
Thanks for the tips on that!

This happens to me every time I change a sims appearance with the mirror, whether they are CAS or born in game. The face always defaults to the 1st template, the "pretty boy/girl" one. I no longer use mirrors because of this.
That's not normal. It has to be something borked in your game. I've not had this happen myself. Only recently have I had this happen a couple of times when using InSim's temporal mod to change appearance of some townies. I thought it must be a bug in OFB. I also noticed that their eyes were the flat Maxis brown default that you see on the skin files, so it was as if it wasn't showing their eyes either. Doing change appearance again caused their face to come back, but I wasn't sure what caused it either.
This a problem I'm experiencing, eyes changing from custom colors to default brown (ugly) eyes. Regardless of how many times I have them my sim go to the mirror and change appearance, she isn't reverting back to the custom color eyes. I went into Simpe to check and she has the custom eye color listed for her DNA.
It is driving me quite mad.
J. M. Pescado:
Changing current eye color is more complex than changing the SDNA and then using the mirror. You can change skin tones this way, but not eye colors. Eye colors require considerably more messing-with. MTS2 had something on this, IIRC.
