Do you guys know if there is a hack where I get to choose the look of the Sim the gypsy matchmaker finds for me? I tend to not ask for her to pair my Sims with someone else because the Sims she picks are always very ugly, and not only ugly, they're deformed even, and they look too cartoonish with huge eyes and the highest cheekbones, so the babies always end up looking horrible. It's kind of like having a baby with Malcolm Langrabb.

I know there is a MOD where you can choose a few features of the baby you're going to adopt, you can choose his or her skintone, at least, as far as I know.

I'm not looking for anything too specific, choosing the skintone of the match from heaven Sim would be good enough.

And now that I am at it, do you guys know if anyone have ever given Malcom Langrabb a makeover? I would love to play his lot but all the babies he ends up having are slightly deformed.

I'm aware there's a ''No More Ugly Townies'' download somewhere, or maybe it's called ''Better Looking Townies'', and that's great because a lot of the Sims 2 townies look too cartoonish and deformed, but is there a Malcolm Langrabb makeover? I know I can just enter the lot and have him use the plastic surgery object or use InSimmenator and change his facial structure, but I don't like to interfere with my game that much, I wish I could just download a package and when I open Bluewater Village Malcolm is there, looking handsome.

Thank you

Wooden Simoleon has instructions on how to start your hood without townies and prevent new townies spawning (http://www.woodensimolean.com/NoMoreUglyNPCs). You'll need clean templates, and default face template replacements and you can find the latter here: http://sims2defaults.dreamwidth.org/332704.html

You can of course makeover Malcolm, but unless you're familiar with SimPE, or confident enough to get familiar, his offspring will still inherit his original features. Your best bet is to follow the instructions above and get rid of all the Maxis sims if their features annoy you that much.

Bypass the matchmaker completely by using TwoJeffs' "Find-A-Mate Crystal Ball". YOU specify what kind of date you're looking for. The crystal ball uses the telephone dialog to show you which sims match your requirements. YOU choose who you want to date.
