Does anyone ever feel this way about some of the in-game faces?

Motoki, thanks for the reply! That tutorial at MTS2 might work even with replaced heads. The only problem I can see with the SimPE replacing heads on various sims is that then you end up with two identical sims running around your neighborhood.
And speaking of skin color type things I had a very bizarre thing happen with NL. One of my sims had met a male DJ in Downtown and since she was a popularity sim I decided she'd best make friends with him. Well, when he was Downtown he had nice red hair and that cool-looking sweatsuit they wear. But when she invited him to her house, he was wearing a different sweatsuit, his hair was either black or brown, and his skin was totally messed up in that his face color was medium, like it should've been, but around his hair was light. I even tried grabbing him with the mind control mirror to see if I could fix him up and nothing worked. Oddly enough, his thumbnail looks like he should. He's just really warped! And to think I was planning on having a sim marry him someday!

Hmm...maybe I should just go with it and make some planet of the apes skins.
ROFL! Now one funny thing is, when I first got my game I thought the face used to make Remington London (the pizza dude) and Marissa Bendett (the Townie) were pretty awful. I've learned to love those faces, though. My current Legacy sim married his maid who used the same face as Marissa Bendett and they had the funniest looking son! He has a very bizarre hook-shaped nose, sort of a depressed mouth, chin sticks out a bit too far. But when you put the right hairstyle on him, a moustache or other facial hair he looks like he ought to be a swashbuckler! His looks are definitely from a more erstwhile period! Because of his oddities he has been chosen to carry on the Legacy while his much better looking brother has moved on and married his absolutely gorgeous high school sweetheart. The Legacy heir (Burleigh is his name) married a downtown waitress named Allyn (I changed her name to Ally) who has the same face as the original Lucy Hanby maid. They just had twins and it's going to be, ummm, interesting to see what they grow into.

Yes, this is kind of a problematic aspect of sim surgery, needing to make a dummy clone in the game to use to copy the look over from. Your options here are to delete the sim (which if you really want to do it properly can be a real pain) or try to give them some form of makeover to make them look different. I usually do the latter. I really wish SimPE had an option to do sim surgery from a bodyshop template package file or from other neighborhoods so we wouldn't have to make extra junk characters in our main neighborhood.
Regina:
Yes, I know what you mean. There is a good rumor I read about a future edition of SimPE which could possibly allow us to delete the character file and all the attached stuff at the click of a button instead of going through the complicated process of doing that. I'm not holding my breath but that would be awesome!

I've got both Kennedy Cox and Benjamin Long married to a couple of my Sims. I never considered them unattractive. As for Goopy, I cheated him into college to see if it would work (it didn't), and when I moved him back to the neighborhood I gave him the hair with the long pony tail and a little face stubble and he actually looks pretty good.
As for that "african-looking" face, I believe that's actually an Australian aborigine archetype. I knew a guy in the Army who had that exact face. A nice guy, but a little frightening. :) I had a female with that face, and after considerable work with makeup and hairstyles I was able to look at her face in a menu without being startled every time. She's still not beautiful, but she's pleasant enough.
I mentioned in another thread about my son playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Some of the characters wondering the streets of San Andreas make the ugliest Sims 2 townie imaginable look absolutely gorgeous. And depending on where you live, a visit to the local Wal*Mart to look at the people should give you a new appreciation of our Sims 2 townies. :)
