Well I don't really make a lot of stuff, just those Servos (giggle) and a residential lot on MTS2 and a few sims on MTS2 and that's it. I wish I was better at making stuff... I can't get over some of the things out there!

I don't remember everything Christianlov's mirror did, but you could make any sim look like any other sim... which is how I was able to get the Servos to look Simlike. See, Maxis gives each Servo a random facial structure and hair (I figure because hair color is a turn on item) but it always has default 001 skin and default 001 eyes (light/brown.) Anyone can make a human-looking Servo with Insim... just use the age adjuster. Age the Servo down to a teenager and then back up to an adult. Bam... instant human-looking Servo. You can even use the appearance adjuster (since Servos can't use Maxis mirrors) to change haircut, hair color, makeup, facial hair, etc. but it will always, always, always have light skin and brown eyes.

There for a while I made it my mission to create a Servo with Bink's cyborg skin and Lyran's Ice eyes. I just thought it was the way Servos ought to have looked in the game! So I came across Christianlov's mirror, made a Sim that looked the way I wanted my Servo to look in CAS, put that Sim in the bin, and then used the mirror to change my Servo to look like that sim. Worked like a charm. The Servo still reverts to Maxis every now and then, but that's easily fixable with the Insim or boolprop.

Anyway, that's my Servo saga! I only wish I could make a default replacement Servo but that is beyond my capabilities, lol!
