I want to refresh the thumbnails in game, like I did in Sims 2, because some do not show right. Can I just delete the files in the Thumbnails folder in my docs? Is it safe?

Yes, you can.

What's with the weird thumbnails for Mortimer etc.  I remade the Goths and it still had a boy thumbnail even though my Mortimer was never a boy.

It's not just Mortimer. I played the family for awhile and Cornelia, all the way until she died had her thumbnail occasionally revert back to her original adult form. I think Gunther had this problem too.

In one hood I had, Mortimer and Bella both kept their childhood thumbnails until at least full adulthood. I ditched the hood then, so don't know if would continue. I never tried deleting any thumbnail files because it didn't bother me that much.

I can go one better than that, I have a family with Alice and Kev, and Alice's thumbnail actually gender switched on me. I still have no idea why it happened, I ended up restarting my 'hood afterward.

You're welcome :)

Ah I remember the good old days of the sims 2 wrong sex bug. Used to happen fairly regular that your sim would generate the wrong sex version of themselves, and you could see what looked like a sister or brother to what it was supposed to be.
I hated that bug.

I've seen that glitch before. I've only seen females sims get it.. and it's always the same picture of the same fugly male.

Could it be related to the sims 2 thumbnail of doom?

I'm not sure. I just know he's hard to get rid of, but seems to be mostly harmless.

 ;) So we could call it the Sims 2 and 3 thumbnail of doom.

That mustache guy was discussed in this (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15471.0.html) thread a few months ago.

Thank you for that ShortyBoo, I must have missed that thread when it was discussed. At least I know the fix now if I ever get that issue again.
