Title: Codefaces on baby, toddler, child
Post by: Zii on 2006 September 29, 07:25:00
Did think about putting this in the thread about the elder thumbnails in CAS with white faces but it's probably an unrelated problem, so. ^^;

Faces are white with a red cross over them and code refering to a missing/corrupted(?) somethingorother. ?_PUFACE_S2_#?
CAS sims of these ages aren't affected, only townies and kids born in-game. I'm using new default skintones, but swapping them out doesn't change anything (infact it made it worse..), nor does using the mirror to edit face.
CAS thumbnails also show black faces for these ages.

One of those 'reinstall time' things?

Have you tried editing appearance after swapping out your new skintones?
The cause is certainly a corrupted skin tone package.

Yeah, it's no good.
With no new default skins package in place, the kid's entire body is white. D:

Try using SimPe's sim surgery to change the afflicted sim's skintone, and see if that changes anything.

Btw, which default skintone package do you have installed?

I know this is a problem in your game that you want solved, but I can't help thinking something like this would have been a better robot face than the silly faces Maxis gave them.  Make them more like androids, but still obviously "not human" (or should that be "not sim"?)  Clearly the game is capable of doing this - even if it only does it when it's incapable of showing the correct face.

He's more like hologram sim than android, but still very cool.

Lin's edit of Loius' skintones (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=175159). Previously I'd been using defaults made in SimPE with the original version of those skins, and changed to Lin's version because of this problem.

Hummmm it seems this... was only affecting the light tan skintone. Switching the kid's skin to that of her fathers (which was the dark tan) and using the mirror fixed her.
I say 'was' because I recall ages ago that I had zombie faces on the kids CAS thumbnails, and was using a zombie skin replacement. I deleted that and everything is back to normal. xD It's not like I ever bother to make zombies anyway, I suppose.

Fish Dude, that is scary.  :o
