Omg 😍😍😍

Wow. This is fascinating!

I didn't understand your instructions for WA. Do you want 2 copies of the replacements, one with WA in the name and one without?

I came to ask the same as echoweaver because I was about to merge the files but trying to open the files in S3PE says 'file not found'

I try my best to explain it but I somehow always fail ! but what I'm trying to explain is that in total there is 12 presets for the headshape region, that's if you don't have any custom presets. (In the pictures I showcase this!)

The first 10 presets are base game and the file that doesn't have WA at the end are the replacements I made for those 10 presets. That's for the file : kwimii_DF_PRESETS_HEADSHAPES_FLAVOR#_ALLAGES

However, the last 2 presets are presets that come with world adventures, tourists from China actually generate with those. The file that has WA at the end are the replacements I made for those 2 last presets. That's for the file = kwimii_DF_PRESETS_HEADSHAPES_FLAVOR#_ALLAGES_WA

In other words, if you don't own World Adventures, only download the file that doesn't have WA at the end but if you have World Adventures download both files in the flavors you picked.

Edit : but no you're not supposed to be naming anything I was kinda trying to say that the files themselves were named that way so you wouldn't confuse them but I guessed it caused more confusion lol

I hope this is more clear, I'll definetly make the instructions more clearer to avoid misunderstandings. (Also sorry if my english is a little broken, this is not my first language)

Oh no ! This is totally my fault, my OneDrive actually was in Sync with my files and it messed everything up, I got the same error as you while testing right now. I had no idea OneDrive could mess up the files this way. Luckily I have back ups, and those seem to have worked for me in S3PE.

So I will update the download ! Thank you for mentioning this

Love this thank you so much ♥

Even the the new uploaded files are having the same issue

Hey, I'm sorry, this is really odd. This has never happened to me before or anyone else. On my side, the updated files worked fine for me so I don't know why it didn't work for you.

This time it should be fine, I re-did every single file just to make sure that it won't happen. I did not get any error upon opening the files with this update and the previous one, I only got that error with the first upload just like you because that's when I realized One Drive messed up the files after I uninstalled OneDrive.

Just for precaution, make sure you delete any previous files before attempting this again, they're all named the same, it's easy to confuse them. Hope the new files work for you, otherwise I really don't know what could be going on.

There's only one download called "kwimii_DF_FacePresetsOverhaul_Part1_Headshapes" right? There's nothing that says "_WA".

ETA: Oh, inside each folder there are "_AllAges" and "AllAges_WA" files. So we have a single download with all flavors in both versions, and we pick a single file to install?

Yes, but inside the folders once you look into the flavors, there is two files in each folder one without _WA and one with _WA, that's what I was talking about in the description.

Buh, I should know better than to edit my own comments.

OK, so we download a single download, and when we unpack it, we get a set of folders for the various flavors, each with a BaseGame and WA file.

Pick a single BaseGame (_AllAges). If you have WA, you should also download the "_AllAges_WA" file for the chosen flavor.

I got confused because your description sounded like WA was in a different download.

Dang really ? If that's the case then it would be better to seperate them instead so people don't get confused anymore, I'll just do that instead. Other than that, yes you got it right, that's exactly what I meant !

Thank you so much, btw. with this and the replacement presets for face regions, my random sims are starting to look very good!

I think I might have figured out your issue, not sure though.

How exactly are you proceeding your extract ? I don't know if you have WinRAR but I tried to get the same error as you and succeeded but this only happened when I didn't extract with WinRaR. This could 100% be because I made the zip folder with WinRAR in the first place !

This is what happens if I use the " extract here " feature windows 11 has :


Although at some point I did manage to make it work but it was by changing the placement of where it gets extracted to but sometimes it still wouldn't work since I tried multiple times and it still gave me a " file not found " error.

This is what happens if I use WinRAR to extract the zip file :



everything works as intended when extracted with WinRAR, no errors or anything. If you don't have WinRAR this could be the issue.

I hope this can resolve your issue, if not, I'm so sorry, it's quite a bummer.

Yesssss so good! :D

I've been using 7zip for 5+ years using 'extract to' to unzip my files. I got the files out by just dragging and dropping from the still zipped file. The files work in S3PE Maybe the issue is the long folder name when I unzip? When I delete the zip files, my computer wants to permanently delete the folders because the name is too long

You're right, after some testing the long folder name with 7-zip, I installed it because I figured I'd need your POV for this one. At first it gave me an error when I tried to extract to or extract here. Then when I shortened the folder's name, put it in a .rar again, extracted it, it actually didn't give me an error. I've never encountered such an issue with WinRAR so I never knew this could be an issue for others. Will definetly keep my folder's name shorter in the future now to avoid that for others.

The files length are actually fine though, they work fine in S3PE and I also get the permanent deletion warning but that's really just because they're slightly long (for reference the maximum characters for a file is 255 mine, are around 82 excluding the directory) but there's a reason behind that. I'm working on uploading other default replacements for other facial regions, their names all follow a specific pattern to inform you on what exactly is in there. It's also easier for me because for certain region of the faces, there are a lot of presets to handle, naming them that way was the only way to keep myself organized, if it wasn't for that, I would've taken more than 2 months to finish the project. However, feel free to rename the files I don't see anything wrong with that.

Also, I just wanna point out, since I figured you were trying to merge the base game presets with the world adventure presets, the new updated downloads already offer that, so there's no more reason to merge (if you haven't merged it already that is lol), you can just download the one that starts with "WORLDADVENTURES" and drag the file you picked into your overrides folder

Is it normal for sliders not to work after installing this mod?

My default replacement does not affect the functionality of sliders. It only replaces the headshape presets and should not be preventing you from using your other sliders. Also, the sliders I used for this mod are base game sliders except for the 3 custom sliders that are optional for the people who want it. This mod uses the sliders mentioned in the description depending on which flavor you picked but do not modify their functionalites.

However, I've had that bug happen to me a few time and that's way before I even created this mod lol. The only fix I've found is just reloading CAS. If you have a lot of sliders, it could also be a cause. This bug used to happen to me when a had a handful of sliders. It stopped once I reduced the amounts of custom sliders I had.

After installing this in CAS my sims are invisible except for their eyes and a few tufts of hair. I only have base game and installed that version, no other mods. I've never played Sims 3 much or modded it so maybe I'm missing something? Thanks

Edit: somehow deleting the Sims 3 folder from my Documents a few times fixed the problem for some reason.
