I’m reuploading this for a few reasons, but if you already have it you don’t need to worry about downloading again. 

Here are the changes I made:

compressed the face templates

redid the preview pictures

added example pictures of townies to the download

moved it to simfileshare

I’ve put together this set of face templates (all except for the hidden alien template) using maxis premade babies created by hambergersims!

These replace the 27 templates available in CAS for all ages and genders, but you can feel free to mix and match with other template sets.  

Don’t forget to download this fix in order to get templates 21 and 25 working properly.

Most of them were based from adult female sims, so they tend to look the best, but there are still a lot of cute sims of all ages. I’ve been using this for months and everything seems to be in working order. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or encounter any issues!

Dealing with Game Snapshots

Okay, so I’ve been trying to explain this in Chat and being confusing, so everybody gets a lesson on how snapshots taken with an in-game camera work, and specifically, how to order them as if they were vacation pics.

This is a picture of Sage Ann MUnny, taken in Takemizu village. It’s name is fsnapshot_19f2e582_7e203287.jpg. It has a corresponding thumbnail, named fthumbnail_19f2e582_7e203287.jpg I can see this by opening the Noo4/Storytelling subfolder in my Neighborhoods folder in MyDocuments, where all the pictures taken with the game tools - the dash camera and the BV camera - are named according to the same five-part protocol, all with matching thumbnails. 

(Prefix)snapshot_ and (prefix)thumbnail_ identify a fileas an in-game full-sized picture or the thumbnail of it, and which tab it can be found under. F means it was taken in Takemizu; M would mean that it was taken in Three Lakes; T would mean that it was taken in Twikkii, N would mean that it was taken in the main hood or one of its non-vacation subhoods. If I had taken it using the C key or the little camera icon, instead of Ernest Munny taking it with the BV camera, it would have only a four-part name, with no single letter in front of the snapshot/thumbnail.

The next part of the name, 19f2e582_, is the hex code identifying the household that was active when the picture was taken. It’s the same as the household ID number you’d find if you opened the household’s data in SimPE. 

The next element is the unique ID for the picture. It has no other meaning., and is probably hex code, but it doesn’t matter. As long as it’s alphnumeric, and unique to this matched set of snapshot and thumbnail, the game can deal. 

 The last element, of course, is the file type, .jpg.  The game only deals in jpegs except for the .PNG that provides the neighborhood picture shown in the main menu. 

So, if I had taken this picture instead of Ernest, but I wanted them to be able to hang it on the wall, all I’d have to do would be to add the f to both the snapshot and the thumbnail. 

If I wanted Sage Ann’s brother to have a copy, I would change the first alphanumeric string of both files to the household ID for her brother’s family, which I would probably copy/paste from one of his storytelling snapshots, and he could then order it from his computer. 

If this were a screenshot I wanted them to be able to order, I would  convert it to a .jpg and name it according to the protocol, something like fsnapshot_19f2e582_SageAnnTea.jpg. All of this can be done quickly and easily in the file browser. I would then have to make a thumbnail file matching in all elements - ideally a thumbnail version of the same picture. You will need the thumbnail to choose the picture from the ordering screen or to place a picture in an album.  You undoubtedly know more about how best to make a thumbnail with your screenshot software than I do.

Then I’d load the game,  enter the household, have Sage Ann go to the computer, order photos, and select this pic from under the relevant tab - Takemizu, because I gave the snapshot the identifying prefix for that subhood. 

I don’t know what the limits are on how much information the ordered photos can handle.  It’s possible I’d have to resize a screenshot, or crop it, or change the shape, so that the program intended to handle  game snapshots won’t choke on it. But the basic things the program needs to print out a snapshot are all in the names, and require no special equipment or skill. 

Questions will be answered after my husband gets his turn at the machine, for which he has been patiently waiting.

Pink Soup Tip

hello gang. it's me. the guy who stopped playing because pink flashing on my nice gaming laptop made this thing unplayable (we're talking pink flash immediately upon loading a small lot). i've somehow stumbled my way into fixing it(?)

tldr; have you tried using Legacy's Graphics Rules.sgr file instead of using GRM?

that reddit is the only place i've seen anyone mentioning it, and after deleting my custom-tailored GRM and replacing it with legacy's EA-built version i literally don't have pink flashing anymore. i didn't edit it in any way but i removed dxvk (which overwrites your graphics card settings and hasn't helped prior anyway) and i use the RPC launcher's no visualization mod (which doesn't help me with pink flash--it's just better on the eyes) and somehow i'm able to load and play lots without any pink.

other optimizations i've done afterwards that have further improved my performance:

forcing my laptop to always use Nvidia GPU

forcing Nvidia to use max settings (direct link to the mentioned MTS thread)

being selective with shaders. personally my laptop doesn't like Shader Fixes in combination with whatever else i have kicking (probably user error on my part for having conflicting shaders, but (personally) i like blue snow so i haven't done extensive testing to make it work). LD has his own version bundled with Lot Lighting Fix (but unfortunately it doesn't play with my lighting mod so I don't use it, but the option's there.)

(edit) deleting caches (via RPC upon load). i'm sure everyone already does this, but the few times i left my caches led to a slow load and almost immediate pink soup. i only mention this because i've seen some posts claim that *keeping* the caches helps, so try both options.

i know this isn't a revolutionary post, but as a guy who tried literally and i mean LITERALLY EVERYTHING to stop pink soup, the Legacy GR was a very unexpected small fix. i haven't updated my drivers or anything--but after using that and forcing Nvidia to use good settings, i've been able to use max settings, shadows, shaders, and load every lot on the same session with hundreds of objects. i don't want to jinx it but maybe you should try it.

Any burn scars cc out there?

I would like my burned sims to have visible scars after surviving a fire.

It’s pretty self-explanatory, drinking milk from a cowplant will now cure zombiism! Unlike the elixir of life, the cowplant has no fail state, so the interaction will always succeed.

Most of the code for the cure came from treeag’s sim transformer, though partway through this project I came across @jellymeduza’s potions and borrowed some from her too. If you have her “Cured of being a zombie” memory, it will be added during the interaction. It isn’t required, though. Use caution when installing custom memories, as they are difficult to safely remove from the game.

I also incorporated some of Meduza’s code into making a version that’s compatible with @midgethetree’s zombie overlay mod.

I’m not 100% sure what the EP compatibility is- I did my best to add EP checks where I could, though. In theory, the only requirements should be University and Pets. Why Pets? Well, I used the werewolf transform animation so that the transition from zombie to human skin would look more polished:

Known Conflicts: Midgethetree’s Elixir Doesn’t Work on Ghosts- @veetiesims2​ has created a mashup of midge’s mod and mine (even the overlay version!) which can be downloaded HERE.

Onto the downloads- choose only one! If you get the zombie overlay compatible version, please note that you need to get the zombie overlay mod. It is not included.

As requested, here’s some eye swaps of horusmenhosetix/ddeathblossom’s vampire default. Choose only one!

On the left is smjoshsim’s easy lucky free eyes in the color Devil Town.

Download smjoshsims version

On the right is an eye overlay by skell. This is the version I use, as it works better for sims with alien eyes and blends into a sim’s original eye color.

AAAHH!!! REAL TOWNIES! 32 VANILLA SIMS WITH SKILLS AND JOBS

My Simblreen treat from last weekend!

You may be thinking that townies aren't very spooky. But what if I told you they are YA and Adult sims with (aaahhh!!!) jobs? To me nothing is scarier than paying bills, dealing with Susan in HR, and someone cooking fish in the work microwave.

There are 32 sims split into 4 families. Sims have 1 outfit in every category, pronouns, sexual preferences, likes and dislikes, body hair and all that. All sims have skills and jobs or are enrolled in university.

When dropped in your game your sims will run into them at work, school, or all over the worlds. Maybe they'll become friends, lovers, enemies, or die in a mysterious lab accident.

I have most of the packs and used a lot of them to make these sims. Hopefully it won't be difficult to replace items if you need to. If you want them to look like they do in the pictures, check out my defaults linked below. As always, simply plop and play! And look out for that fish in the work microwave!
