3 or 4 lightening bolts

yikes!
The only Maxis defaults I use are the NPCs for challenges that require such, because I find the offspring turn out progressively uglier through each generation. Those squinty eyes from Pao the mailman have haunted my Legacy family for 7 generations and the monkey faced Sheldon (also mailman) did the worst things to my first Email family. In cases of extreme ugliness, I occasionally resort to makeup, and have a few faceblend nightmares where they wear mime faces from toddlerhood, only removed for a quick check after age transitions (nope, still ugly, it stays on)
See 3rd generation Email. No amount of makeup can help this guy. Side View, he got dad Ricky's nose.
(founder-grandma in bottom left corner... may she burn for that single accident that lost me the challenge)
I have very few Sims of any gender with such obvious makeup, though I do have certain females who are a little more obvious in their uh, sexuality. I do also have a few very pretty men of all aspirations, but they just turned out that way (no help from me apart from careful breeding)
I have had four sims like that in Legacy families! In fact, it's one of the reasons my last Legacy family got flushed down the toilet. I don't care if they're not beautiful, but when these guys aged they just looked deformed!
In my new neighborhood I generated almost all the NPCs using the NPC maker and only let certain genetic traits in. I'll no doubt still wind up with a few funny lookers, but at least hopefully they won't end up with the trick jaw.
The really funny thing is that with my very first Legacy family that ended up wiped out with a HD format, I'd made it to the fifth generation of adults and with a couple of exceptions who turned out funny looking but lovable, this was an extremely beautiful family. The funny-looking ones were throw-backs to Remington the pizza guy, and as funny as that face is, I really do love it. :)

So has anyone other than me successfully defeated the E-Mail Challenge yet, or is it more awesome than you?

I also like facial hair. i like beards . not long beards though. just that kind of beard very well trimmed. and i don't like mustaches.
I've a big "hairy guy" fan as anyone who has followed my mods for body hair knows.
But I really have to say that Maxis dropped the ball on facial hair for male sims. The 3D model facial hair that came with the base game was generally made with reflectivity turned up way too high on the objects' surfaces. That's why the standard hair colors for them are so much brighter and yet flatter and don't match the standard hair colors. I've tried modding them by changing the colors in the textures, but you generally cannot get a real good color match without loosing a lot of details, especially on the black and brown colors.
If I get into doing some 3D meshing mods -- and I'll start looking into it after I finish school -- I'm going to try to take those models and fix them first since no one has stepped up to do so yet. That and see if I can't create some other kids of beards, goatees and staches that have volume but aren't so dang long or big!
I was wondering where I could find your work? And also, if you or someone could make the full beard/big mustache look more realistic, that would be great! I never use those because they look so fake, like a little kid wearing a costume for a play or something and I would love to be able to use them.
In regards to Remington the Pizza Dude, he and Brandi Broke paired up in my game and had some really great looking kids :D
Dark Trepie:
Alexander Goth isn't *that* bad I guess. And being a guy myself, the thought of slapping makeup on him makes me cringe uncontrollably, so my opinion may not hold any water with you ladies.
But still...
A little facial hair goes a long way in taking attention away from that nose.
Some different glasses is a must.
Different hair style as well.
And old Alex is quite presentable.
(Forgive me if these are bad angled shots. I was more keen on capturing Cassandra's face in the first shot and the hot alien girl's face in the last...)
Besides, its not the looks that count. Its what's on the inside that counts! You shallow freaks! *shakes fist at all of you*

Hopefully AllenABQ won't mind my posting the link to his site, here: ;) They really are some of the best looking skins I've seen. If not the best looking. I use them almost exclusively in my game.

I think the actual files are at MTS2, but they're linked to from his site.
