Seeing as a few people were interested in seeing the face templates I made, I took some pictures to show them to you guys.

I based the templates on the original Maxis ones, and tried to smooth them out without losing the underlying characteristics. They're basically another set of defuglified Maxis faces, but tweaked to fit my own aesthetics. They might not be to everyone's tastes (they're a lot more 'samey' than most templates, I think), but I'm happy with them :) 
Just like the original Maxis faces, some skintones work better with certain faces than others. I did try to keep them racially diverse, but much less exagerrated than the originals.

The lovely terrakosmos  (whose templates I have been using for ages and ages and referenced heavily to create mine) has offered me to make them into actual defaults! I am so ridiculously excited about that, you have no idea :D As soon as they are done I'll share them here on LJ, in case anyone else would like them.
