'Randomly' changing faces
RainbowTigress:
I did this once, changing a sim's eyecolor. I had to change several things, I think in the actual Sim package file, not in the neighborhood file. I think it was in material definitions. I haven't done it since then. If I want to change a sim's eye color, I use contacts.
If you delete a custom eyecolor a sim was using, they will revert to the eyecolor default on whatever default skins you're using. If you're using Maxis defaults, it will be the ugly brown color. I've fixed my default replacements so they have a dark blue as the default eye color should they loose their eyecolor.

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.
you need to change it in the sims "character file" under "age data"
you will then need to have the sim "change appearence" with a mirror in-game to get the "new" eyes to show up.

I read that even if you want all your employees to wear the same uniform you still need to create seperate uniforms for each sim. Since I started doing that I have had no facial problems.
KellyQ:
Not to hijack this thread but after reading RainbowTigress' post about replacing default eyes, I decided to go about it that way. (I tried Sleepycat's method in Simpe but am too Simpe retarded to figure out how to go about it :-[.) So I downloaded default eye replacements and while it changed all Maxis made sims to the default eye colors, no go with the CAS sim that I'm having problems with; she still has the ugly Maxis default brown. I am irritated beyond belief with this.
As far as sims changing faces with uniforms, my sims' faces don't change as far as shape or characteristics but their makeup disappears until they change back into their regular clothes.

KellyQ,
I got it to work using simpe..
This was with sims who's eyes were default because I no longer used the custom eyes they originally had in my game.
For some reason they don't revert to Maxis defaults when you delete a custom eyecolor.\
What happens is, whatever color eyes that are on the skintone you're using are the eyes that your sim will have. So no matter what other defaults you put in your game, it will still use the skintone eyecolor because it's pointing to an eyecolor which no longer exists.
Anyway,
I adjusted the dna of the sim with simpe to use the default string for whichever default color I wanted. (There is a thread someone pointed me to which game the default strings to use for eyecolor...maybe here or on MTS...I'll try to find it)
Then I also (as suggested by others here) changed the sim character file's eye color with simpe.
Once you do that, just go into the game and "change appearance" and their eyes should show whatever color you used in yours sims dna & character file...
This is all info that I gathered from people here who helped me to get it right...otherwise, I would never have know how to do it.
EDIT: Here's the thread that gave me all the tips I needed to fix it. There are also links to how to which numbers to use in simpe for the different eyecolors.
Hope that helps.
