Refreshing Sims thumbnails?
caffeinated.joy:
Strange thing is, when I installed my default replacements, it immediately took effect on all sims in the game, NPC or not.

Resetting the neighbourhood? O_O
I can't do that....
Well yeah, I got the one from Enayla. It works. Every default sims & NPC that doesn't use custom skin has their skin replaced with Enayla, the problem is that the thumbnails (when you saw them on your friend list) doesn't change at all. The thumbnails still have the picture when they were still using maxis old skin, not with the new Enayla skin. And my question is how to change the thumbnails.
The only possible way to have the thumbnails changed, is by make-overing them with the vanity table. But to remodel the whole townies with my single puny vanity table is just ridiculous. XD I want to know if there is a possibility to reset the thumbnail file.
I've tried deleting the thumbnails folder, but it only changed the thumbnails on the Create-A-Sim menu and the objects folder (I noticed because it took a very long time for me to open the Buy Mode menu).
But the thumbnails of the sim in the friend list and the queue list still not regenerated with the new skin.

Oh dooooooh I totally misunderstood what you were saying. I'm sorry, I think we all did. In the main folder delete groups.cache and see if that works.

But no, I've tried doing so but it's still not working either.

For Body Shop - the only thing I know is to delete the cigen.package from
PCs:
My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2
Macs:
~/EA Games/The Sims 2
You can also delete the package files from at the same time - the game will force new packages to be created and this will update the general thumbnails but not the profile pic of the sims.
PCs:
My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Thumbnails

~/EA Games/The Sims 2/Thumbnails
For in-game you need to have your player sims go to a mirror and do a single change in their appearance - you can un-do it at the same time - and this will force a new "avatar"
Also, in some versions of the game CTRL + Right-Clicking the thumbnail will force a new thumbnail to be generated - this works for objects, eyes, etc.
I have been told it also works in the control bar on the image of the sim that is bigger than a thumbnail.
