Yes! Ears should be hereditary, and for both genders, so thanks for this.

Why doesn't someone just make ears with a fully transparent texture that pull skin texture? Just map them to where ear skin texture is, then set them to alpha blend and SimSkinMaterial in the TXMT. Do these already do that?

Cat: this is a CAS face template, not a mesh. So it's just the Maxis face mesh, with the ears twisted up.

Pentabet: Thanks very much! I am very curious how you managed this without milkshape. It sounds awsomely clever.

oh wow this is insane! Awesome work, I'm just as lazy as you so this is a relief!

Essentially, what I did was (using SimPE) transfer the female faces onto the male side of each pertinent age, based off of a defaulting tutorial I was reading. Then I hopped into BodyShop and tweaked the hideousness that cross-gender faces create (lol), and made a normal looking male with huge ears. There was a lot of popping in and out of the game until I figured out some bits, and ultimately I gave up trying to make a family set myself and used the first face's features to sync them all up.
I will see about making some different ear shapes myself, the way Gnat' made his. Now that I know how to do this, if I can learn how to play with the meshes on my own then I want to make a bunch of different ears! [Dumbo here I come!]

Thanks! Now I can live out my life long dream of being an elf! In Sims.. xDD
THUMBS UP! :]

Hey! Brilliant!
Actually, I started meshing for the same reason. I've give up because of the conversion of other ages/genders. I can give you the files if you want to use it in your project.
I also suggest you to look at here : http://fantasyrogue.livejournal.com/42956.html

Penta, that really is quite clever. Nice!

Yes, very clever indeed! Such a cool idea, you did a great job!

Aaaah, CAS face, not ear accessory, got it! Nicely done.

Absolutely first-class!

Thanks for sharing it with us

YES!!! This is too wonderful for me to even describe!

I'll check that out soon, thanks Ove51.

Why isn't this in The Features?

Hey, "Powers That Be" on here ... take a good butchers at this ...

... and put in in the bloody features!!!

This is something special; give it the acknowledgement that it deserves, yeah?

Dang it, I wish I could apply this is existing Sims, but my future elves thank you.

I love the idea, but I also love the faceplate 1, mostly because 2 is droopy and the rest is angular and blocky.

As a palette user, I can't use this. Please put it in for the default elf ears?

awesome idea, but im confused. it replaces the normal "heart" face? cause i don't want ALL my sims to have elf ears, and the "heart face" tis my most used face (since like you said its the least ugly).

I have created some sim faces for my own long-eared face, and once it's done it WILL be for the eelf face, I promise.

Thank you so much! *dies happy*

Damn I was going to download this till I read it replaces heart face. Hope you make it to replace ELF face instead, I like having elves a rare race in my towns.

I saw this and thought it would be a good replacement for my Dark Elf family... :D
Then I saw it didn't replace the Elf Face... D:

I think I did something wrong, cause the ears don't show up in my game... They don't replace the heart face. Does it matter what skin I use? Because when I change the skin on that Zelda sim, the ears get the same skin too...

Thank you very much for this, especially for putting Zelda ears on the men, and creating the face template. Sense I got this earlier this year I've been combining it with KingTorrid's Lupine muzzle in body shop for my animals. Recently I found Dominiquex rewrite of Argon's tutorial on building non default/replace face templates at GOS (See here - http://www.digitalperversion.net/ga...p?topic=24073.0) and have had some success with it. I was hoping that it would be alright if I used your version of GnatGoSplat's Zelda Ears in a couple of my face templates? I am working manly on animals (cats, dogs, wolfs,goats, etc) but plan to do a few elves, possibly even Zelda. I of course, would give both of you full credit for your parts in whatever I make. Thank you again, and good luck.

um i can only get one sim to have these ears and that was purely random.
how do i give other sims these ears?

First, please forgive me for not getting on sooner, I've been busy with work and daughter etc, sorry guys. So...

@SpiderX95, if you look up a tutorial on how to make your own templates, it should be easy enough to put it on the eelf template, I can't promise I could do it in a timely manner for you right now

@flippofem, I don't think what skin you use should affect the mesh, double check that your sim detail is on High in the options menu, and if it's not that, then make sure it's in the right folder, or that you grabbed the whole file. Try downloading it again perhaps?

@DavidR57, I see what you did with my file, and I like it, I also love your animals idea . I was really hoping that people would try to make some new ear-face options for a little more variety. I hardly play anymore, so I doubt I'll have the chance to do such time-consuming (but fun!) work myself :/ anymore.

@detran, if you want to give in-game sims these ears, then you could use SimPE's SimSurgery option to make it genetic, or the cosmetic-surgery station for just a surface change. You could also make a sim with them in CAS and breed a few current sims with him or her to do it more 'naturally', hehe.
