Is that an alien birth baby from in game abduction?

Or, are the skin tone and the eyes, downloads?

She the product of an abduction. I do have the multiple poilination tech hack, but that shouldn't matter. The eyes she has now are her human father's. The ones before were from the Poil-Tech.

I can't help then, I was hoping they were downloads and you inadvertently deleted them.

Would have been an easy solution.

I have the same problem with my aliens.  All ages work fine, except from teens.
The alien teen eyes does also not appear in CAS in cheat mode, the other ages do.

I always suspected that it was caused by my alien skin replacement.  I've just swithced to a different skinset, so I'll have to check if that's made any difference.

Did they become default Maxis brown? If so, this is a problem caused by the way Maxis designed the alien eyes, and is the same reason that children of half aliens sometimes have brown eyes but never alien eyes, even if they don't have any brown eyes in their genes. I'm hoping to eventually find some alien default replacement eyes that I like and test to see if that fixes this issue.

If that's not it, then that just means something else is broken for alien teens. Which would suck.

An alien defaultskin replacement would cause this: The "eyes" for an alien are actually imprinted on the skin, and the "eye" textures simply use a null alpha that reveals the underlying "alien skin" texture. If the person has drawn eyes onto the skin as a result, you get whatever is there if your sim has the alien eye.

It's over on MTS2.  Can't remember the name of the user who made it (Bob something -- 'BobL' I think).  I'll see if I can dig up a link to it.

Found it: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=131402.  He's got a bunch of other interesting stuff, too.

Dylan has some nice purple replacements (and a lavender alien skin that's very nice) over on insimenator.net, I think.  But it's down right now while they change servers.

but it still doesn't explain why I can't pick alien eyes in CAS for teens, when I can for all other ages.

Apart from losing her alien eyes, your sim also seems to have changed skin colour. When she was a child, she had a bluish green skin. When she became a teenager, she's become a more yellowish green.

Mind you, she also seems to have changed gender - from a really girly toddler to a boy child. So don't mind my observations Tongue.

I see what you mean, baratron.

The first shots look like the maxis alien skin, but the teen shot looks like a completely different alien skin in there - this could be the source of the problem.

I had the same problem with alien teens, now I change the eyes on the skin files whenever I make a new alien default replacement file.

My current alien default replacement file is done from Enaylas "Porcelain Doll" skintone  Grin

I just noticed that too.  It looks like whatever replacement alien skin ChibyMethos is using doesn't have baby/toddler/child replacement enabled. So the young kids went to the default skin, and the custom skin kicked in at teen.

CM, maybe you can temporarily age the teen up to see if the new eyes stick when she's an adult?

If this is a really stoopid question and solution,  slap me with a wet kipper.

Is it possible to put teens through the plastic surgery thingy?

If so, couldn't the eyes be changed there?

With a hack, but no, it will not fix the eyes. The eyes are a problem caused by your default replacement skins. Stop using them.

If we don't use replacement skins, then they all look like barbie dolls.

Is there anyone making the skins with appropriate eyes?

It would be difficult to fix the ones you have.

The hardest part would be getting the default alien eyes in bodyshop to edit.

Or if there are some default replacements you have, just get the texture off of that. Then in bodyshop, export the alien skin tone and overlay the alien eyes over the eye texture the creator left there. (Did this for my Howl sims)

Yea, I believe so.  I went through a bunch of alien skins until I found one I liked, and hit a couple of them that used the default eyes with no problem.  Can't remember which ones right now, and I'm not home to check. Smiley  I finally settled on Dylan's lavender skin with his default purple eyes, but I believe they'd have the normal black eyes without the purple defaults in.
