Here are a few more things that were said abut my faces at the feeback forum..
Well, I think the problem goes a bit deeper than just foreheads and hair. I think the problem is some of them are rather... odd looking. Others are just a bit ugly. (Don't get me wrong, but there are plenty of very nice-looking sims in your set!) There are just quite a few that need some fixing up to look more normal. While they look normal with a custom skintone because the nose texture and eye texture tends to smooth things like that out, people with Maxis-only skintones will be very dissapointed. Here are a few examples (just from the female so I don't start mixing up numbers)
Unnaturally tilted eyes (while eyes tilt a little, these tilt a bit too much):
1, 9, 11, 12, 23
Unnaturally bulbous noses (nobody says your sims need to all be beauty queens, but these noses are a bit out of control. To have differences in nose shapes that are larger, try making black sims, whose larger noses compliment their facial features without being so bulbous. Also added are just oddly shaped noses):
7, 12, 18, 19
I hope this helps you out some!
Yeah, I agree with WWW here - unusual faces are fine but with Maxis skins, several of the noses/eyes look pretty weird. They mostly look okay with the custom skins, but since the idea is to create face templates that can be used with any skin (including Maxis) I'd focus on making them look good (not necessarily attractive) with Maxis skin - take out your defaults when creating them, use a really plain Maxis hair with a normal hairline (for females, the basic "missing mesh" straight mid-part is good, and for males, either of the short sort of spiked up ones from the base game), and just work on them that way - don't even put custom skin on them at all until you've finished all your tweaking. It's a good method to use in general when creating sims, since you're eye isn't swayed by texturing which may distort your perception of certain shapes.
Some noses(if not most of them) are too close to the upper lip and the toddler/kids versions might look ...odd. Also, the noses all seem the same to me, only some are a bit wider than others. Use some more tools while re-shaping them, like nose turn-up, you can make them pointy, long, short, etc. And also, how noses, mouth, eyes, eyebrows merge together and with the whole face structure matters alot for normal-looking simmies.
I saw some nice faces you made there and I would love to download.(I like 2, 5, 22 and 24)
Is this true..Because I liked my faces.... I like the noses....I think its good to have variety and I didnt think they were ugly:(
But Ive seen some horrid faces get accepted so it makes me wonder....
and a question for a mod here..If I were to upload them here...what section in th genetic area would you suggest??
Thanks all

Again, those are the personal opinions of two people. This is what I don't like about many sites' "quality control" policies. Too often it comes down to a matter of taste. They've let through some things I've personally thought are completely hideous.
I like the differences in them, and how none of them is "perfectly" pretty, something you see in a lot of other default replacements. The thing with the facial templates is, once you choose one, you can tweak it yourself in BS or CAS if it's not quite what you need, from high foreheads, to bulbous noses. ;) The thing I notice is the eyes; quite a few of them of them have a similar 'sleepy eyed' quality that reminds me a bit of either Judy Garland or Liza Minelli. Do you see what I mean (I hope so). If I was to tweak anything at all, it would be that, but you're free to ignore that and post this as is. :)
If you do, they would probably be best uploaded here. We have another set of default face templates and that's where they are. :)

If I was looking for a replacement set of faces, I'd definitely give these a look.
Something about MTS2's somewhat slippery policy for creators has kept me from even looking for a place for my mods. I don't even know what's posted any more, but I've seen and heard of enough people that followed the letter of the post just to be rejected because someone on the approval committee didn't like some minute detail.
IS is friendlier when it comes to creators posting their work.
