![]() ![]() I love it because there are TONS of custom hairs available, it looks really good in the game, and you can find a FULL set of matching default replacements for the Maxis hairs. I currently use the hair system created by Mikexx2. There are many different hair systems out there. ![]() Hair is probably the trickiest custom content to use if you want it all to match and/or replace the Maxis hair. I recommend testing them in-game in a testing neighborhood to make sure you like them first. Custom skins are a bit different and might cause problems if you remove them while Sims are using them (so choose these wisely). You can easily remove and change them at any time. ![]() If you don’t like a default replacement skin, don’t worry. Sims 2 Default Database Skins – A large selection of default replacement skins in all styles.I use these when I want to play with realistic CC. WhySim Spooky Dip Skins – Beautiful but very realistic, shiny skins.I used these for years when I was a hardcore MM player. Correlated Skins – These skins add body hair to the male skins and are as Maxis Match as you can get.Here are some others that you might want to check out: This Sim has custom skin, eyes, and hair. The defaults replace the four Maxis skintones and the geneticized custom skins add more skin colors to my game. I use both the defaults AND the geneticized/townified custom additions. My current favorite is Lilith’s Honey Honey skinblend. It just depends on your personal style and preference. As with all other CC, you can find very Maxis Match skins and very realistic looking skins. Custom SkinĬustom skin is another way to improve the look of your Sims. Townified simply means townies and NPCs randomly generated by the game will also use them. What are geneticized and townified eyes? Geneticized eyes are custom eyes that are passed on genetically and work within the range of genetic inheritance in The Sims 2. Default eyes are genetic and used by the game just the same as the original Maxis eyes. What are default replacement eyes? Just like with all other custom content, default replacements REPLACE the Maxis versions. If you don’t want custom colors, you can always just stick to defaults that only replace the Maxis eyes. If you’re interested in genetics and breeding your Sims, I recommend finding a set of eyes (like Plain & Simple) that include both defaults AND a set of geneticized/townified custom colors. I use both the defaults AND the geneticized and townified eyes to add more eye colors to my game. But my current favorites are Poppet’s Plain & Simple Eyes. I started with Bruno’s Behind These Eyes Maxified (great for a Maxis Match style). There are tons of options out there no matter what your style – from Maxis Match to realistic. Custom EyesĮyes were the first default replacements I ever experimented with in The Sims 2, and now I can never go back to the Maxis eyes. ![]() I also recommend downloading the Argon archfix mod, which fixes the broken Maxis face templates for faces #21 & #25 – allowing them to appear for all ages and to pass on the appropriate genetics. But I personally find it easiest to just use a complete matching set that contains all 27 faces (like the ones I listed above). You can pick and choose and mix together from multiple sets. NOTE: You can only have ONE replacement face template for each face in your game at a time. Below, you can see the difference between the Maxis 01 Face and the same face using Mina’s 27 Face Templates. My favorites are Mina’s 27 face templates. I highly recommend everyone have a set of replacement faces in their game because the Maxis ones can be a bit fugly (in my opinion).Įven if you’re a hardcore Maxis Match player who loves the way the Maxis Sims look, you can still find a set of face templates that work (and make a big improvement). They change the shape of your Sims’ faces. Face Templatesįace templates are the most important of all the custom content you could install for creating your Sims. I briefly covered these in part 1 of this tutorial, but for the sake of completeness, we’ll touch on it here too. Now, let’s talk about the different kinds of custom content you might want to use for this process.
