So, I have to brag a little bit. I’ve never touched MilkShape before this, nor any other similar meshing program. I basically picked it out on my own and as such, am fairly proud of the result.
What you are about to download is a default face replacement of the EELF (#26) template. Like my other face templates, you can not have more than one replacement for any template at a time, so you’ll need to remove your existing #26 template in order to use this one. This will overwrite the Maxis template but will not affect any sims already extant within your game. Since this is one of the final two templates, it will not generate townies unless you have a hack that allows for this (available at MATY).
Pictures of the Template, all ages and genders, with different eyes and skintones, to follow. None of the models are wearing makeup.

ETA: I’ve added an alternate version
that will replace face template #27 instead of #26, because an observant reader pointed out that I was making you choose between this template and it’s amazing predecessor, Fantasyrogue’s Rhys Template! So, if you have FR’s template (or otherwise prefer to keep your EELF replacement, you can download the ETGE replacement instead!

The inimitable Astrocake requested a version that replaces the unnumbered Alien template, which I hilariously was unaware of the existence of! I had conflated it with ETGE entirely somehow. Good times. In any case, here is the version that replaces “Alien.” I have not tested it in game so please alert me if I screwed anything tremendous up. ^_^

OR
You can now download this face, plus two of Fantasyrogue’s templates, as NON-default face templates, thanks to Dominiquex at Garden of Shadows!
Thank you very much for this, and all of your other creations. I downloaded your Deliciousness from Dominiquex’s posting of NON default/replace face templates, I also downloaded her revision of Argons tutorial on creating non default/replace face templates, and have had some success with it. I am mostly doing animal (goat, dog/wolf, cat, etc) and elf faces. I was hoping that i could get your permission to use some of your wonderful ears (these and at least 1 set from your second D/R face template set) in my project. I would, of course, give you credit for anything of yours that I use. Thanks again
Absolutely, I’d be delighted! You’ll have to link me when you post the finished product!
Wow, thank you so much Katu! I hope you do more such interesting 3D face edits! <3
I really want to, it’s just a question of time… ^_^;
Hi again! Sorry to bother! I recently found a tutorial on doing non-default replacement face templates (here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9061.0.html) and I was wondering if either a) you wanted to do this, or b) if you would mind if I gave it a try with this fantastic face!
Oh lord! Thanks very much for the link, but as of right now I can’t really take on a project like that. XD You have my permission, and my blessing, though! When you finish it, please let me know so I can link to it from here!
Thanks so much for your blessing! It’s proving to be a little more difficult than I originally planned, but I’ll let you know as soon as I have it!
Project is complete and available at both Plumbob Keep (http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=1190&p=12654#p12654) and GoS (http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=24073.new#new).
Thanks once again Katu ~ I love this face!
Oh my gosh, so amazing! I am going to add a link to this right now!
[b]Katu[/b] I can’t tell you how much I [i]love[/i] this mesh! I’m totally in awe.
What kind of tutorial (if any) did you use to go from 0 to 90 in Milkshape like that?
I’m so glad to hear that! I admit I’m not sure what you mean by 0 to 90…if you mean degrees, then I just selected the appropriate vertices and chose “rotate” – then tweaked the rest by hand. I honestly can’t remember what tutorial I used to figure out what little I know about Milkshape – but there’s a bit on meshing in my Sims 3 sliders tutorial, if you wanted to check that out. If I totally misunderstood, just let me know!
Haha, sorry! I meant it only as a figure of speech – acceleration from 0 to 90 miles per hour – just because I thought you had said you hadn’t done face templates in Milkshape before.
I not only love your work and have been using it extensively in my game(!), but I also have a project that isn’t coming out right no matter how much BS face sliding I do and I think I’m going to have to Milkshape to get it going. It’s just a new area for me to branch out into.
Love you SIMS2 the alien style, very beautiful. particularly Miss Mermaid.
THANKS~ ^.^~SIMS hope the new work, I wish good ~
These are amazing! I have been wanting these types of ears for the longest time. Thank you so much!
I am most pleased to hear that! I hope it treats you well. ^_^
Could you perhaps make a version to replace the alien template?
It is done!
I love this so much! Thank you!
Ahaha, thank you! I hope it treats you well.
This is a lovely addition! Thank you for making it.
I’ll probably mix other faces to it in bodyshop when making sims. You have just given me loads of unique new sims.
You are most welcome!
That is precisely what I’d had in mind! I basically haven’t made sims without FR’s elf template since about the time that he released it. :3 Glad to contribute!
Oh man!! These are awesome!! Thank you so much!! And THANK YOU for doing a replacement as well!!
You’re welcome, and thank you!
This is beaaauuutiful! Totally switching my default now! Thank you so much!
I’m so glad you think so! <3 You are most welcome!
Thank you so much for this! It’s awesome!
Congratulations on your first use of milkshape, you did a great job!
Thank you, and thank you again! I appreciate the kind words. :3
Omfg. The cute. Must have. Thank you forever and ever.
Anytime! Thank youu!
FAV elf template EVER! I love love love the ears!
Thank you!
Thank you much!
Curse you Katu for making me choose between your and Fantasy Rogue’s awesome elf templates ;_;
Seriously though, these look amazing, thank you for sharing.
Oh gosh, I didn’t even think of that! Let me see if I can’t switch it to another template!
