Not so random randomness
myskaal:
So using the lot debugger's rerandomizer didn't help. The game is still choosing to spit out majority .80 skintoned with blond hair (and a couple red) sims. it is in fact choosing one of my custom skins rather than the .90 default. I have no idea why the game would decide that skintone to be the most popular.
Meh. Yay for SimPE. I just need to find out if it's possible to change hair the same way it is to change skintone and I'll get over it.

I always get black townies with red hair. And I'm using a very dark #4 skin replacement, and tend to download fairly light (carroty) red hairs. It looks awful.
Catch being that Sims treats skin and hair genetics are completely unrelated, which is not entirely true in real life.

Probably when generating a random skintone, the game probably picks a number between 0.0 and 1.0 or somesuch and picks the closest skin. That would likely end up being your .80 a lot.

I've found that (unlike eyes and skins) when you change the genetic hair you still need to get hold of the Sim inside the game and change the displayed hair.

Well, that makes sense, since you can change their hair to any color in the game (just like in RL -- we don't know what my wife's genetic hair color is anymore :) ) -- you can't change their eyes or skin tone without special hacks.
One interesting side effect of that is that the hair many NPCs wear isn't their genetic hair. For example, I found out by accident that Katalyn the maid (the one Daniel Pleasant has the hots for) is genetically a blonde, and actually looks a lot better as a blonde.

On the subject of non-random randomness, I'm having a tiny-eye outbreak. It actually started before my latest custom neighborhood while still using the normal face templates. All NPC's spawned with what I call tiny eyes. Basically, they are squinched looking. Face shapes were still variable, as were other features. I then started a new custom neighborhood with the clean templates. I got some template replacements before spawning townies. The templates look fine when I choose them in CAS, just one or two with tiny eyes but that's normal. Still, almost every freaking townie has tiny eyes. Rolling for a random sim in CAS gives me all tiny eyes.
Grr.
I was planning on doing some of my own template replacements since I personally prefer big, almost anime eyes in my simmies, but I'm hesitant to do so since it's a pain in the nether regions.
