Yesterday I was adding Sims and CC to my database, and seeing as Condal's eyes have been and soon will be a big deal, I was attempting to figure out exactly which eye she had. I thought it was an Enayla eye, so I went through all those, and I did a few others I thought it might have been, and I even went so far as to run Clean Installer on my entire downloads folder and sort by type so that I could see whether I had mysteriously acquired some eyes that were not in my eye folder. No luck.

Then I had an inspiration! And sure enough! I found Condal's eyes! Here!

Yes, that's right, Condal does not have eyes. I must have deleted the eye she was using, and the game fell back to using the eye that is embedded in the skin file itself. (She is using Enayla's Autumn skin.) And that would explain how this girl ended up with gray-green eyes in spite of having a mother and father who both had golden or brown eyes as far as I could recall.

Needless to say, there is no way I'm going to change her back to some boring brown color now. So I tried looking through all of Enayla's eyes in search of the same eye, and even though this is the same texture she has used on tons of eyes, she does not seem ever to have released an eye in exactly that color. Therefore, if I want Condal to have eyes that she can pass on to her babies, I had to make an eye package for her.

This I promptly did, by snipping the eye out of the face image and pasting it into a new eye file by way of BodyShop. I also made a slightly greenish version (which I called "Sidhe"), since in my mind her eyes tended towards green. However, now that I know the story of her gray eyes, I think I may just leave her with the color she already has, and save the greenish eyes for another Sim.

Here they are in CAS so you can see them with decent lighting. "Sidhe" is the greenish one. The model happens to be Sir Malcolm's mother (except for the eyes of course), since she was hanging around in my sim bin and Connie wasn't.

If you want to download them to have in your own game, I attached them below. I have two versions: one has been "geneticized" meaning it will be inheritable in your game à la this article, and one is just regular CC with genetic of "0" meaning that it will trump any eye that isn't CC when making babies. So just pick one depending on whether you are into tweaking game genetics or not. The geneticized versions are both rated "2" which makes them inherit like green or blue eyes (in my game).
