Does anyone ever feel this way about some of the in-game faces?
Renatus:
Ooooer! Thank you, MalteseBippy! That was one of my favourite 'stuff' sites out there, and I was sad when I was running out of good clothes for my adults and went to check her site, only to remember she had taken it down. Motoki, her site is also what got me started on making my own townies. I knew something bugged me about the sim faces, but it wasn't until I saw her site that I realized what. I do think she makes the mouths a bit too wide, though, mouth corners generally seem to line up right with the center of the pupil. I find anything too far outside of that to be venturing on frog-faced. :D
Lefty, I think Goopy is kind of cute too. Shh. I actually had him married into a family at one point... but I did give him a complete name change and makeover! ;) He actually made a very distinguished elder, with the longish hair and a goatee. Too bad his daughters were a bit monkeyfaced. Benjamin Long and Kennedy the Ass aren't too bad, either, but like Goopy they don't seem to breed well.
Brynne, I make all of my playable sims and homemade townies in Bodyshop ahead of time because of this. I could afford to do so since I don't have any long-standing neighborhoods... I get pretty frustrated sometimes making over NPCs considering the limitations in surgery.
I don't generally worry about the skintones on the sims - if their features don't work with their skin, I change their features entirely. I just can't be arsed to use sim surgery very often. *g* They eyecolours... well, it can be some alternate universe thing. In which they have vampires, zombies, and aliens. Yeah.

And I grab all the townies I see too and give them surgeries, makeovers and sometimes changes of clothes.
How are you doing this? SimPE?
No, I make them selectable then stick their faces in the surgery machine, have em use a mirror and if I feel like it, Pescado's clothing tool.
The only thing I do in SimPE is copy their new facial data over their old so they don't pass on their old ugly genes to the next generation, but that's only if I decide to breed them.

And how do you make them selectable? Is that a console command?

Motoki:
I use boolprop testingcheatsenabled true and then hold shift and click on them. Prior to NL, this didn't work, but since NL it now does. You can also use the mind control mirror or the Insimenator or you could move them in with Inge's shrub and then move them out into the townie bin again with the shrub when you are done.
*edit to add some other stuff*
The Insimenator has options to give any sim on the lot a facelift or makeover without making them selectable. The Woohoo npcs set from Valdea.com also has an item that looks like a red burglar alarm and let's you do surgery on a sim without making them selectable. It also lets you plan their outfits. I haven't used this item since NL so not sure of it's status with it.
Lastly, the vanity mirror that came with university (it's under tables > other) will let you make over (use the mirror to change hair and makeup) any sim on the lot without having to have them be selectable. You sim with approach them for a makeover and bring them to the mirror after which you get to pick out their hair and makeup etc.

Having been experimenting with the Townie/NPC maker in Nightlife, I've noticed that there are some new "downtownie" templates that have been added with the expansion pack. But unlike the base game townies, these templates seem to be not just faces, but clothing, hair color, make-up, etc. all locked such that you get an identical sim every time the template is used. I discovered this after wiping a new neighborhood of all sims then using the generator to auto-create a set a new downtownies.
Ok, I give...what Townie/NPC maker?

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.
And who are the Tricous?
