Default Jellymeduza's Dominiquex non-default elf Face Glitched *SOLVED*
I'm having this issue with Jellymeduza's Dominiquex' non-default elfy face templates with baby stages were in cas they look fine but in-game they look....well...just see for youself..

I've tried using EA skintones only, as I use default skintones and geneticized CC skintones. That didn't fix it. I've tried completely new save/neighborhoods. Removing other CC/mods, using Dominiquex' original templates WITH Jelly's version (and just Jelly's). Nothing works, no matter what I do they are earless, and one of the templates has big bug eyes. When they have kids their faces are distorted, with chins that are non-existent (that fixes when they become teens tho). I have the argon arch fixes.

Wow, that's really odd. I can't help you, I'm afraid.

All I can say is they work for me, but I don't use the argon arch fix
+ I believe when I create my sims, I make them in body shop and only pick their clothes/aspiration in CAS. I don't know if that affects that in any way.
Also, I use the original meowingcookie's baby faces as my defaults https://www.tumblr.com/meowingcooki...8-yes-those-are and I use some more custom faces [around the world] https://simfileshare.net/download/4531047/


Some of my 'elf' eared sims had babies too and they were fine.

Does HCDU+ show any conflicts for those faces maybe?

Try turning your Sim detail to high in the game options- there's a lot of CC and archetypes that don't look right on lower detail.

The only other templates I have is one from DeeDee (Zeta), I also have meowingcookie's baby faces, but I got them from MTS , minus the ones for plantsim and aliens. For plantsim and alien I have LexisNewman's Babyfied Maxis Ideal Plantsim and Atomtanned's Alien Spawn - Infant Face Templates. HCDU+ doesn't seem to report anything for the face templates.

OK I feel incredibly dumb and don't know why I didn't try this before. I guess I thought I already had my detail at high? I dunno. This fixed it.

I'll try to look into the issue next week. It's pretty odd as I've tested the templates and the offspring, but maybe I'll be able to find the reason behind this mess.

I need to learn to refresh my page, simsamplewas right on about setting it to high. I feel dumb lol I could've sworn I had it on high
