Custom Sim faces in My Sim mode

[SRS 9]

There is a mod that has had three threads (the first being the link to the mod and the other two being discussion):

https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/71219-adding-new-sim-faces/

There hasn't been much discussion about it and I am wondering about a few things:

1) Someone said, in a different thread, that he used The Sims FaceLift to make new faces. The bitmap images that I was able to export using that aren't flat. Therefore, it looks like if I want to use faces generated with this I will have to make screenshots of the faces within the program and resize those with GIMP. I doubt the resulting quality will be good. Perhaps he used Facelift for the advisor replacement.

Also, with Facelift, I have tried it and it is hard to get good faces out of it because it mixes children and adults, different adult age groups, makeup and no makeup, and allows for caricature proportions. It's also missing the ability to fix the necks so one often gets turkey necks. There are also cut-off heads (like someone sliced a portion of the top of a person's head away) and other issues. I think the original faces the program uses are also not so optimal, overall.

Does anyone know of a better face creator for Sims 1 faces? I would like to upload sets of faces that match the style of the originals.

2) The second thread linked above has the statement that changing that names isn't so easy but I didn't see any further explanation.

3) The third thread has more instructional info than the others but it looks like the mod replaces the original faces. Is there a way to retain any of those? There are a few I have used in my cities and would like to keep. What seems as if it would be most ideal is to retain all of the original faces and have the extra pages for custom faces.

Sorry I missed your post.

While I can't help with actual creation of faces, here are some MySim related topics which are newer than the ones you listed:

• MySims.dat - The Techy, Hexy Details
• MySimtropolis - Invitation to become a SimCity 4 MySim
