thanks for your comment! Hm, that’s a really good question. You could try to delete the file “CASThumbnails.package” in your “My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Thumbnails” folder. Don’t worry, it will regenerate once you open up CAS. Do the faces show up correctly then?

I love your face replacements *_* I did download them but I have a little problem. In bodyshop all of them are showing up correctly but in game cas only a few shows up o__o” the rest is just normal ugly maxis faces . . T_T Do you know what causes this ?

All Sim I save into the game from other sites will not change in the CAS due to the templates? They will stay the same when I go into CAS and then save them to the neighborhood?
That’s right, all of these sims will look the same, no matter what templates (custom made or the Maxis default faces) you’re using.

Also, the templates will not automatically make over existing townies or NPC’s (which I am totally okay with)?
No, all of your existing sims (your own as well as existing townies and NPCs) will stay the same. Only new sims that are made by you or created by the game after you have installed these templates will use the new faces.

Thanks for the patience to answer my question. I know the last question is repetitive but I wanted to be sure what is going to happen.
That’s totally fine - I wouldn’t want to install anything without knowing for sure what it changes in the game either!

I am thinking about using your templates in my game but I have a question.

Again. Thanks.

Those faces replace the 27 default faces Maxis provides in Body Shop and CAS. You know these head forms when you create a sim in Body Shop or Create a Sim? That’s what this download will replace. It also affects the features (eyes, noses, mouths, …) you can choose from when you make a sim - those will look different.

Face templates are also used by the game for creating new townies and NPCs. After putting these face templates into your Downloads folder every newly generated sim will have one of these 27 faces.

Every sim that’s already present in your game will not change his looks - only new sims are affected by these.

These faces are supposed to make your townies and NPCs a little prettier. People who like extremely diverse looking sims will probably think they’re boring, but if you’re looking for pretty faces that won’t produce monster children when you marry them to your own sims you’ll most certainly like them.

PS: I also sent you an email so you don’t have to come back here to look for the answer!
