Default Replacement PTs: Work in Progress

I was playing around with BodyShop a little over lunch, and here's a work in progress shot of a potential PT.












Some changes have been made to facial structure, but it keeps with the theme of the original - thin cheeks, flat nose (though bigger and lower on the face), and thin lips (wider, and a different shape). I changed the eyes, and the shape of the brows, and gave her more chin.

I'll probably work on her some more, but I like how she looks so far.

Is there a way to change just the ears in BodyShop? I've only seen a way to adjust the entire face shape towards the elf template, but not just the ears.

Awh! She's cute. I like her nose & eyes.

Awww, she's cute! I like that her nose is slightly larger. That's something I never liked about the original PT.

If you ever need help coding the PT hack once you are done with the sims, let me know :)

You can change the size of the ears. It's one of the sliders, maybe under the full face section.

Looking good!

She looks great.

As for the ears, I think you can adjust the size of the ears. It's in the same area where you can make the eyes bigger/smaller (the area where you can go just to foreheads or noses or chins).

I know when I was making very slightly pointed ears, I had to toggle between the "full face" sliders and the "parts" sliders (so the face wasn't so elf, just the ears).

She's so cute! I love the nose, I like that you kept the overall profile of the face.

I think everyone mentioned it by now, but in BS they have sliders for ear size.

That's so weird, only yesterday we were trying to make our own PT replacements and adjusting the hack to use them. It worked... mostly. But for some reason, the original PT (we kept him and added three extras) wouldn't show up in the family tree when he was the father (the black hair gave it away), but the other ones did! Except one time... Then our test sim had twins by the original PT, and one was linked to him in the family tree, while the other was not!

Very weird. This happened regardless of using the tombstone of L&D to impregnate them or having them summon aliens with the FT option. Interestingly, the debug - abduct interaction didn't work. Did FT bork it?

Anyway, we chose not to keep it in the game until we figure out why the family tree links aren't consistent.

I like your replacement, she's cute. :)

For pointy-eared PTs (I made one that looks mothing like the elf template): You will need to start with the ponty-eared template and demolish/mutate as you wish. Recloning the sim is almost necessary.
I like her!

She's looking good! I can't wait to see your other templates. :)

I like that you made the nose lower, but but I"m not sure if I'd go wider too. you did say you still wanted it to look like an alien. also, pointy ears might be cool.
