Face replcements not working

<< < (2/2)

ancienthighway:
When you open up BS or CAS, you can click on one of the icons that takes you to the pages to select face types and modify them.  That's what I meant.  Those images will not change.  You have to apply them to a sim in order to see what you have for a replacement.

I got it solved.

Don't ask me how I came up with this, or why it worked... It's just that when you have a problem with your PC you try everything... what's logical, and what isn't. What seems to have sense and what doesn't. And you get creative and invent solutions... he he he.

Well... here's what I did. I put all of my downloads in a different part of my HD. I deleted the Downloads folder. I created a new folder, and renamed it Downloads. I put all of my downloads in it. Including the infamous "Face Replacements" folder. I cleaned up all the garbage, meaning: groups cache, accesories cache, cigen package, and thumnails.

I started the game. And bam! There they were... my face replacements!!! And let me tell you that those pictures you said that wouldn't change, well, they did, they do change. If you delete the thumbnails, they change. You need to periodically clean all the "garbarge" in your EA's Sims 2 folder if you're a downloadholic like me, for all your custom content to show up right in your game.

Cool. Now, the problem is that I hated some of them as much I hate Maxis' ones. What I need is a picture of all the faces in CAS numbered, so I can actually recognize which one is which one, and be able to choose from different sets the ones I want. The only one I have identified is the heart face.

So, if anyone knows where I cna find one... thank you!

Thank you all for trying!

I looooove this forum.

Don't know whether this will help or not, but what I use are a mix 'n' match assortment of some files from here:

and here:

Both places show shots of the various choices pretty clearly labeled, so that it is easier to delineate which ones you may want to use in the game and which ones to jettison.
