Wow, amazing the amount of work you put into this, and interesting to learn about your process too (at least for someone like me who's clueless about those things). Can't wait to see the result live in-game -- thank you!

The heads and bodies are a single item, found under "Skin Details" in CAS. The formal outfits (dress and tuxedo) don't have heads, and are designed to be used with the unclothed heads and bodies in skin details. Choose the unclothed body first, then apply your formal outfit.

I've never played with Servos in the SIms 2, but I definitely will now. Thank you for your wonderful work. Mods like these are what make the game truly fun. By the way, do Servos have families?

In The Sims 2? No, Servos don't have kids. But since in The Sims 4 they're just regular sims in an outfit, you can make them have kids - the kids won't look like them, because there's no child version of the Servo outfit (since child Servos don't exist in TS2), and because skin details aren't inherited in TS4. But they can *technically* have families

The only way I could possibly think to make this any better would be if wearing the suit gave the Sims the same type of voice as the GTW aliens so that it sounds a bit electronic.

The previous version of this actually allowed for you to make your aliens wear the Servo outfit (it was assigned as hair instead of skin details), but that caused some problems with the overlaying of the formal outfits, so I had to scrap that. Hopefully some modder will come up with a custom trait that changes their voice type!

Thanksthisisgreat!

I had one little issue when turning a sim into a servo: they were already wearing a necklace, and when I selected the hat outfit, the texture of that necklace got mapped onto the hat. The simple fix was to just remove the necklace from the sim, but can you perhaps put that in Known Issues? When people don't know how the accessory parts are mapped they will probably not make that connection, and think that the hat texture is weird.

(I believe one could also set the "Exclude Parts" thingy so that any necklaces that a sim decides to wear with the hat will be hidden .. I'm not exactly sure though, I don't do a lot of CAS stuff and maybe this would only work for more "normal" outfits.)

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Yeah, the necklace is enabled for these outfits because of how I set up the formal costumes, so that's sort of an expected glitch. I'll add it to the description!

That is another conversion of the same thing, yes -- it works differently though.
