OMG, OMG, OMG!

[strangetomato]

It is with intense pleasure that I introduce to you, Damon Bigfoot:

I mean, c'mon! He's obviously the coolest Bigfoot ever, to be rocking a mustache like that! XD

This confirms that Mirablu's Townies and NPCs can generate Glasses and Facial Hair hack is one of the best things I've ever added to my game. Do yourself a favour and run over to MATY to download it immediately, if you haven't already. You will laugh. You will cry. You will have many, many mustaches! :D And nothing is funnier than mustaches.

This gem of a bigfoot also owes his good looks to the face template replacement set by zazuzu (also at MATY), which was the only set I found that seemed to have "more interesting" as its goal, rather than "watering down extremes." But hey, my search wasn't exhaustive, so if you know of other interesting and non-boring face template replacements, I'd love to hear about them! I'm all about introducing new and diverse genetics to my Tomato Legacy hood.

First comment out of my cousin's mouth was "whoa" Who would have figured Big Foot was so into the grooming of his facial hair. Real Cute.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was much the same, then I got really excited about having something so awesome to show people.

Bigfoot doesn't care about hygiene, but he makes an exception for his mustache.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

*rofl* What a great Bigfoot! I love him! Thanks for the reminder on Mirablu's hack. You'd mentioned it once before, but I forgot to grab it. :D

I've been interested in trying face template sets, but I have never seen any that don't reduce the base game's variety into a bland sameness. Unfortunately I can't see the images on zazuzu's post (I reloaded several times). :(

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

You simply must get that hack! It's pure gold. I wish it enabled everything in the glasses and facial hair categories, instead of just basegame stuff. I want townies to generate with all sorts of weird stuff on them. Even makeup and accessories! :P Maybe it will be updated someday.

I enjoy the default templates, as you know, but I've seen them over and over now, so I was looking for something new. There is a LOT of bland sameness out the for download. The most common treatment, from my observations, is to make everything just a little more like face two. I think I'm going to take a replacement set on as a project one day. It would be awesome to have exactly what you want for templates. It seems to involve a huge amount of work, though, so maybe I'll pick away at it over time.

I didn't see any images on zazuzu's post either. I'm not sure there were any. I decided to give it a shot based on the comments, and I've liked most of the faces I've seen. If you're unsure, you could download them and then browse through them in BodyShop.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Oh, I did get Mirablu's -- right before I commented ^_^

That's true, I can browse the faces in Body Shop, and also it would be easy to take the templates back out if I don't like them. It would be nice to have some different faces as starters for new sims, too.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Nice. If anyone can make the most of its funny potential, it's you. ^_^

That's the way I was looking at it, too. I've pulled it out a couple of times, when I wanted access to the original templates again. It's mostly for generating some interesting new blood in my legacy hood.

I remember someone was planning to make a replacement set from pixel_trade sims at one point (I think it was mjo5oh, maybe). That would have been an awesome thing to have.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

I have thought about making a set using pixel_trade sims. But like you said, it would be a huge project. All the checking to see that the different ages and genders match. Breaking it down into smaller chunks would be key.

I think I'll get it, and play around with it later (after I go run some errands).

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

That's the worst of it. Every age and sex has to have its own face created. Then again, it's a good opportunity to increase or decrease the diffrences between the sexes with any facial structure. Some of the meshes change it too much, and some not enough.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

They really do. Some faces aren't even recognizable when they're gender switched. I'd love to see a set where most of the females got tiny versions of the male nose, and where male lips didn't shrink to nothingness.

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

They show up with mustaches in CAS too! With hilarious combinations xD

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I know. XD I love it! Check out the awesomeness of this guy:

[pixelcurious.livejournal.com]

Eeee! so cute! *hugs him*

I love how the arc of his tiny eyebrows echoes the swoop of his giant 'stache.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Haha! I didn't notice that, but he obviously puts a lot of thought into his styling.

[spyroeldragon.livejournal.com]

Epic.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I'm still laughing. Seriously.

It will be even more epic when he's part of the Tomato family!

[muslemura.livejournal.com]

Best. Bigfoot. Ever. Period :D

[will-o-whisper.livejournal.com]

HANDLE BAR MUSTACHE! Yesss, this is perfect.

I feel you about the template replacements, and a lot of them literally repeat the same face for multiple templates; I use a bunch from from three or four different sets for exactly that reason. :/ I might have to look into this one.

Big Foot should not be this attractive. :P

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It seems like mixing and matching is the way to go. I think I'll do some more research into the matter and put together my own blended set from what's out there. Do you know of one that really changes S1, especially for males? I'd really like to change that one into something more rugged.

Yeah, he's a little too cute for a bigfoot, isn't he? Just look at his big puppydog eyes! XD

[meetme2theriver.livejournal.com]

Best Bigfoot ever!

[hidden-kitten.livejournal.com]

Mirablu's facial hair and glasses townie-enablers are a GODSEND! They make turn-ons and turn-offs make more sense, and, of course, add much hilarity. They have been in my game since she released them and I am ultra-happy with them.

Where can I find a preview of those templates? Zazazu seems to have either taken the pics down or the hosting site retired them :( Whoops, sorry, I see your thread up higher where you are discussing the template pictures.

Have you tried Nailati's complete face templates? The ones she finished are wonderful, and I use them as part of my mixed set :D

And, yes, townie-enablers for makeup and accessories would be amazing, too!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why there isn't a preview. From what I've seen in CAS, there are a couple of really odd faces in there that are maybe a little too odd, but I'm not sure which ones they are to remove them.

I'll take a look at Nailati's set. Thanks for the tip! ^_^ I should play around with some mixing of different sets for even more variety.

If I knew anything at all about making hacks, I'd be all over that project.

[jyllandrea.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this single one? I really like it and it's just so much better than the one Maxis provided. I think it's "more interesting". Maybe you'll like it too?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's a nice one! It does tone it down a little, but retains the unique look. Thank you for pointing it out.

[skellington7d.livejournal.com]

Awww he's cute and that mustache is fabulous!

[naughtydolphin.livejournal.com]

I love that hack of Mirablu's.

[remisims.livejournal.com]

At first glance, I thought it was Frances as a bigfoot, with an awesome mustache. I think it was the nose. :P

XP

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

He does have a bit of a Frances nose, doesn't he? It might be more the Bigfoot skin than the actual nose, though. Maybe I'll experiment a little to find out.

Frances as a bigfoot would be hilarious! XD

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

The bigfoots do get bowler hats as part of their work uniform. I don't think I can edit his appearance, but I do have a monocle extracted from the unsavory charlatan.

[sadieg79.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I grabbed that glasses/facial hack fairly recently. Grand Vampire looks like a walrus, and not because of the fangs XD It's awesome though, isn't it? Sure adds to the variety.

I have other replacement templates in my game, but yes, they're a must-have. I use Pooklet's first legacy templates and a different Bigfoot face from MTS - can't remember offhand who did it, but it's there somewhere.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

That sounds like an amazing vampire! XD Do you have a pic of him?

[sadieg79.livejournal.com]

Well, he didn't turn up until later into my Awesomesauce - I'm on black gen now. Still, here's the best one I managed to find - it's evening and I have Gunmod's lighting mod installed, but still pretty hard to miss XD

[allysonsimming.livejournal.com]

That hack is one of my favorites -- the bus driver in my Pleasantview, rocks that mustache and a mohawk. AND his name is Merlin. It's making me wish I could marry him into a family somehow.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It really is a shame when you get a really awesome untouchable NPC like that. At least you get to enjoy him for years to come as he picks up your children and teens for school.

[texacojoe.livejournal.com]

Glorious :D

[a-gates.livejournal.com]

Hahah RAD!
