Or you can use Ctrl + right click on the thumbnails to refresh them. You might need testingcheats enabled for this. Sims' portraits can be regenerated with "change appearance" or "regenerate portraiture" on the clothing tool or Lot debugger.

Ooh, I didn't realise you could refresh the thumbnails to see the new templates when in CAS or using the surgery machine. cool. I'll have to test it out once the new templates are available.

With Nailati's templates, if a Sim were to have a baby with Goopy, would the baby have the new template genetics or Goopy's original genetics?

The baby would have Goopy's original genetics. You can use SimPE to replace original facial data with the secondary facial data from the plastic surgery so that it is genetic. Step-by-step instructions can be found here. |

Just to make sure my summer-vacation-brain gets it....
New templates change the defaults for new sims only. To change current scaries, I'll have to apply some kind of surgery and then use rainbow's link (thanks!) to make them permanent?

You got it. New custom neighborhoods get the default townies from Pleasantview, unfortunately. I thought I'd get a bunch of new random ones, but I got Goopy, Brandon, Ivy Copur x 2, Marsha Bruenig, etc. You have to do some kind of DAC to get rid of them and generate your own, which is doable, but can be a bit of a PITA.  |

Hooray! My brain hasn't "mushified" yet. My brain lapses are almost enough to make me wish for year-round school.
Hey! Don't hurt me! I said "almost."

Wow, what a pita. I don't suppose anyone is working on a plugin to facilitate the process.

A long time ago, our own jordi posted a fix for this on MTS2. http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=110889&highlight=namesI don't get freakout names anymore with this in. (Granted, I DO have to do a DAC and regen the townies, but I'm used to that.) |

I've been designing houses, downloading nice new clothes for my future sims to wear and planning out plots in my head. |

I'm going to give them a go, but what am I supposed to be testing, exactly? I'll presume that we're supposed to be seeing if they look all right. I can do that, all I HAVE are test neighborhoods right now. I'll try to get to them in the next few days although I can't make any promises; writing eats up most of my time anymore. |

I'll DAC a test hood tonight, let the game generate some townies and see what I can randomly turn up.

Sorry to be unclear. Yeah, I pretty much want to know if they look all right and if they breed all right. I've made quite a few changes to the first ten, in particular. I'm not entirely happy with some of them, but then again I'll never be entirely happy, so I wanted to see what you guys think. How do the proportions look? Are the necks too long? Any faces that look too similar? Any faces that bug you? How's the breeding going? (Personally, I've had mixed results with breeding dissimilar parents, but no monsters so far.) I'll DAC a test hood tonight, let the game generate some townies and see what I can randomly turn up.
You can try out a DAC if you'd like, but it's not required...might be sort of boring, since any non-adult townies will still be Maxian.  Thanks, all. |

Been just randomly generating Sims in CAS with these and they all look great. I thought at first a couple of the male templates weren't loading properly, and then I realized I was getting templates #21 and 25 (I do hope you normalize those at some point! XD) A few of the females do look just a tiny bit long in the neck to me, but I also noticed that this impression is also affected by what hair and clothing styles the Sim winds up with, so it may not be a real problem. Cuz some people just do look that way. |

I've had a chance to try these out in my game and they look great. Sims with gaunt features do not breed well with sims that have rounder faces (but that has always been the case anyway). Some of the women have quite large eyes (vertically speaking)- esp. when you compare them to their male equivalent.
If possible, could you move the eyes of faces 4, 9 & 12 (in CAS) out 1 notch as in-game they look a little close? This becomes more apparent when you start breeding them.
Apart from that, I thought they looked really good and are a definite improvement over the originals.

Same here. My computer's power supply blew out over the weekend. While trying to load The Sims, of course.  |

I've got mine back now -- just in time for some sports game to be released, causing me to work substantially more hours this week and play Sims 2 much less. Bah. Well, at least the hours pay for the computer repair. And I can test the templates now. |

There's no major flaws as far as I can tell either. I don't even think the eyes on 4 are too close together myself but I think that's a personal prefrence. (Sim eyes by default are farther apart than human eyes were ever intended to be. I prefer my sims look more human than sim like.) They look great, I can't wait to see how they age. ^^
