Does anyone ever feel this way about some of the in-game faces?
nectere:
hmmm interesting. About the facial structure data, so basically I can take any sim, copy the facial structure data and plunk into any other sim of my choice? I was under the assumption it had to be from the same sim. I havent ever played with they facial structure data, just the DNA strings.
Any one wanna start trading facial data? I can see where downloading a few sims off the net might be worth while now, I dont have to put them in game, I can just open their package, export the facial data, and save thier thumbnail image to a sim file folder. Then I can delete the sim. Much cleaner than having whole sims, I guess I could make them in bodyshop as well - do the same and then delete the sim afterwards....
I still want to hack that template sim though, because it seems as though I only have one, maybe two archetype template sims in my game and they are both very extreme.
Ancient Sim:
What I find puzzling is the fact that all the good-looking ones are hidden or unusable. The Tricou family in NL, for instance, are all dead, and they are certainly better-looking than the average townie. The llama mascot now married and in the neighbourhood in my game is absolutely GORGEOUS, but he still goes everywhere in his stupid costume so I have to boolProp him out of it whenever he appears so I can go all gooey over him. I also have a cow mascot in the neighbourhood who's quite pretty, certainly more so than the majority of dormies and Uni NPC's.
The ones I dislike the most are those with the ridiculously wide mouths that stretch from ear-to-ear, especially when they have huge flappy lips as well. I've never seen anyone in 'real life' like that and I don't expect to. I don't usually bother changing their genetics, but if any of them turn-out to be 3LightningStrike material for one of my Sims, I probably will do. I do change the hair colour and so on to match the genetics, though (or vice versa). I think the reason they did this was to cause 'surprises' (like "How come my brown/black-haired Sim married Brandon Lillard/Kaylynn Langerak and they had a red-haired child?" ... Brandon and Kaylynn both being genetic redheads).
Renatus:
I think all of the in-game faces look more or less ridiculous. They're too cartoony for me - I could live with the oversized eyes if they weren't so malproportioned overall! It's a shame Gigge's site is defunct now, she had a tutorial on it with an image that showed that the default faces are too long, the eyes are too big and too far apart, and a lot of the noses too narrow. I make my own sims with more realistic features now and they look a lot better, and I grab any NPC that bothers me and make them over as well. Eyes a click smaller, narrower, and closer together, face a click or two shorter, nose a click or two wider. I then alter things from there to get interesting variation, like small or long noses, wide or narrow mouths, rounder faces, etc. . I tend to make them all good looking too, which isn't strictly realistic, but hey, at least I have a wide range of what I find attractive... :D
lefty:
I have absolutely no problem with the townies, except the ones that walk around looking like they have food stashed in thier cheeks. (chew damn you, chew! What do you mean thats natural? Egad!)
All the all, the other townies I think are all rather cute, but maybe I'm just warped. Goopy is adorable, even if his clothing... leaves something to be desired.

I think it was also Gigge's site that got me going on my kick to makeover all the townies. I miss her site. :( After reading that tutorial, I realized even the faces I thought were the nicer looking ones were rather ill proportioned and ridiculous looking.
And I grab all the townies I see too and give them surgeries, makeovers and sometimes changes of clothes. The all end up looking a hell of a lot better, but I try not to make them all beautiful and make some regular looking ones. In general, I try to work with their existing facial structure and just make it look more realistically proportioned, but some of them are so outrageously proporitoned I pretty much have to start from scratch.
