I'm so confused about the chins! D:

Do you need me to re-upload Susie's Sims3Pack?

P.S. Your sim bin is so colorful and so full of wonderful faces. :)

I'm confused about the chins too - not to mention Susie's Sims3Pack odd thing with the skintone. The game seems really contrary at times :D

I downloaded Susie's .sim file and she's in-game with pointy ears and a proper Sim bin pic, thanks.

Oh and thank you. The recent explosion of colour is due to you.

Going to get a hot drink now, download your latest skintones and fix everyone. I'm hoping to share an alien 'crop' later as a sort of back up in case my game goes pear-shaped.

I should breed a crop, myself :) That sounds like a fun Friday evening activity, especially since I was shot down for the idea of going out to eat.

I didn't want to throw this out in the public world of Tumblr, but this is an example of the disinformation that has had me so confused over this. Where she says,

I've got custom sliders in my game (these ones) so if you want the kids to have elf ears you'll need them. If you don't change their actual facial structure in CAS, they'll look the same, whether you have sliders or not.
She's far from the only one I've heard this from. The common wisdom seemed to be that if you don't change the faces, they'll stay the same. But we've seen it's not true ( ... )

I agree with you, it gets really confusing. Things did change and do change with patches so it's possible that what she said was once true ( ... )

Well, it gets weirder... I downloaded three of her sims (they're all .sim) and one of them was broken in such a way that, when she was in my Saved Sims folder, NONE of my saved sims showed up in CAS. Not even the ones I made. I tested it by taking the new sims out one by one, and narrowed it down to the specific one. In the folder - no saved sims. Out of the folder - back to normal. I have NO idea what could cause that.

Another of her sims is fine, though she looks kind of different in the face, but I'm thinking it might just be a CC thing. I didn't explore it too closely.

And the third came out charcoal crispy. He was a .sim file. So where you said, "What I now think is that .sim files contain directions to content (like skintones and elf ears)" - I think that's right. But the game doesn't necessarily default to what you have. According to negomimogen, they should have had an ephemera or some kind of freckles skin and I don't have either one (I have different freckles). So why was the guy charcoal and the chick wasn't? IDK.

That's so weird, I don't really understand why the files behaved differently... and they're all newly created because that was a new post. Makes no sense. Neither the .sim that 'broke' your Sim Bin or the one who came out charcoal where another similar one didin't. I don't understand *wail... lol ( ... )

The one that "broke" the Sim Bin wasn't one of her newly created ones... it was from her Pollination Exploration sims here. Maybe... it has something to do with EPs or patches or something, since that's an older one? I didn't think of that till now.

The super cute daughter can be saved to your Sim Bin from within the game.

Oh! Thank you! I will do that, then. I knew there had to be some way, but I was assuming it would be more difficult. :)

I'm looking forward to seeing your new kidlets! :D

It's really weird why one of them didn't work.

Lindy's daughter is adorable! She's on Tumblr at the moment, I think you saw here. Sorry my LJ post not up yet, I got distracted. :)

Isn't it very late for you? Wee hours of the morning? :O

I saw her! So cute. What's her name?

It was, very late.

Called her Mira Coal and she's now available for download :)

Your sims, Susie-Q and Lindy make the cutest babies!

I paired your Rue with furryjackal's Prot and set them free in Lunar Lakes... They are a totally adorable couple! I'm hoping when I check on them again they'll have cute babies. :D
