![]() In general I don't like that the developers used their own names for the Townies instead of using a list of the most common names or something. I just don't like the idea of a Sim called "Goopy" running around. And Goopy's features aren't that unattractive, truth be told I kinda think he looks like Freddy Mercury. Still, I'll admit to changing Hal and Desdemona's faces to make them look more like their parents but softer versions considering that EAxis did make them with softer features anyway - at least they'll fit in and stand out at the same time. Perhaps it can be said that Desdemona and Hal are supposed to resemble Juliette instead and the lack of Face 2s among the playables here make them somewhat unique in this context. I appreciate that Miranda does look unique and at least has Consort's ears and Goneril's mouth and at least Ariel shares Kent's nose shape and has distinctly sad-looking, puppy-dog shaped eyes. I've mentioned that Goneril and Albany share the same face template and the ones they come shipped with wouldn't have produced the children they have in-game. I'm afraid I'll have to concede when it comes to Desdemona and Hal, however. In terms of unique features, there's also Benedick, and I like that Romeo, who is supposed to be the handsome Casanova, doesn't use a common face template. I suppose Romeo and Mercutio both have distinct noses even though they're not the same shape, Antonio and Patrizio look realistically related, and it could be argued that Beatrice resembles her Aunt Bianca more than her parents. It's somewhat understandable for the Summerdreams since the kids are adopted anyway, though they still all look somewhat similar still, at least the elf template isn't common either. Unfortunately, this trend of family resemblance doesn't carry over to most of the Montys and Summerdreams in the latter's case, they all share the elf template, Puck is almost a direct gender-bent version of Titania, and Bottom and Oberon have nose shapes from other templates. The Capps have a theme of sharp features, especially their noses, jaws, and brows, and granted, they can be intimidating and/or horrifying. Looking at the deceased ancestors shows unique facial sculpts and they passed down a few features to their descendants. It seems that Tybalt inherited Consort's cheeks, Ariel has the same nose Kent has, and Cordelia, Regan, and Kent share an uncommon face template (among playables, that is) yet still look unique and distinct from one another that it doesn't matter as much. Juliette and Hermia have distinct eyes and jaws and in Hermia's case, it makes it a bit difficult to find a style that suits her, yet they look alike enough that you can imagine them being born in-game siblings. Goneril, Miranda, and Kent share the same mouth shape, while Miranda inherited her ear shape from Consort. Part of what draws me into Veronaville is the appearances of the playables - they're not exactly EAxis typical and they actually share quite a few unique features between their family members, especially the Capps. ![]()
