I've recently been replacing all my EA faces with delightful default replacements. I noticed a very odd thing when I was a-questing for goodies though, in that most creators seem to tend towards big eyes, small mouths, thin noses and slender chins. Well, I'm here to set the record straight that reasonably-sized eyes, large mouths, smoodgy noses and strong jawlines are not 'fugly'. In fact, let me prove it with a picture of my CAS05 CBAN default replacements in action:





(Yeah, man, I know. I'm totally in love with them, too!)

All ages and genders are included in the zip and it looks great with all skin tones:





EA versions are shown in pics for comparison. This is a default set for CAS05 CBAN and you can only use one at a time.

Finally, I must add that doing this wasn't as dreadful as I always thought it would be. It's just many, many hours of twiddling in Bodyshop (the fun bit!) and some very simple stuff in SimPE. No, really. Check out the additional links at the bottom of this post and read through the tutorials, then bingo. You am doing of teh making.

Hope you like 'em!
