I'm also excited for this project. I have a set of template replacements already but they tend to all look the same. These look wonderful. Even with all the same eye color and hair styles and skintones you can still see the differences.

Yet another harmonius set of faces. This will be, I think, the best template set to come out yet. Thank you in advance for your eventual sharing them all with us! Finally, a set of faces that will breed well, yet be distinctive. (*click, baaa*)

You better run away... Get back to work! Before you go, though, could you hand me a towel?

These are definitely the best replacement face templates I've seen. I can tell you put a ton of work into them. I'm really looking forward to having them in my game . |

Thank you . The latest update is up in post #1, and I've rounded up all the screenshots there, as well. A couple of questions for everyone. First, how does face #2 look in terms of proportions? I tried to make it as averaged-out/ideal as possible (taking the name "BASE" literally) so I'd have a generic base to compare the rest of the faces to when I'm checking the compatibility of the features. Second: faces #21 and #25--ugh. (Those are the "broken" templates.) I understand that they pass on face #1 genetics, so I tried combining each of them with face #1--which resulted in 2 slightly crappy variations on face #1. I could just make them look exactly like face #1, but personally, I've never much liked that template. (Though I haven't changed it much because it's popular.) Now I'm considering making #21 and #25 into hideous freaks, so you'll have eminently killable sims who can still be allowed to spawn. Thoughts? |

#2 looks quite nice to me. :) Re. #21 and 25...not *too* hideous, I hope? I don't like to kill my Sims no matter how ugly they are, poor things. :) Another question: how do these faces look when they're aged up or down? And do you plan to make other age sets to match? (I would think if they age and de-age well you could just use the same proportions, not have to make all new ones...) |

I second what Amber said about not liking to kill sims. I want decent looking sims if I must have them wandering around my game. |

I think that even your version of 'crappy' has got to be an improvement over the regular templates. Could you post some pics for us to see?

These are absolutely beautiful. I may even try a DAC for the first time to spawn pretty new townies and test these all out

* waits anxiously *Seriously, they are a vast improvement on what's in the game originally, and for just that reason I'd be happy to have them as is. I don't think they need much (if any) tweaking... I just want them - NOW!

Some ugly Sims are good. But if you could make them look ugly and still human, that would be what I would like best. My problem with Maxis faces isn't the ugliness per se, it's the fact that they don't look like people at all. It's like they escaped from a mutant science experiment gone wrong, especially the males. I also like your alternate version of the elf face better, it's much more interesting to look at. |

Grouped all together, WOW, it's really amazing to see the difference! Your templates looks so much better and real. They've kept the stylized look of the game but they look so much more like people I can think of people who look like them for pretty much all of the templates - there was no way I could do that with the freakish exaggerations Maxis provided us with. I would prefer not to have any hideous or particularly ugly templates. They are templates after all, which are supposed to be a kind of a baseline. If I want or need ugly townies I can make my own, and there's always surgery if I want to mutilate an NPC. |

All of these faces, while less hideous, all retain idiotic grins. Shouldn't they have a somewhat more neutral, or, more realistically, a frowny to scowly expression?
