That would be cool!
I did stumble on this tutorial at MTS2:

It's about how to make the face you just gave a Sim via cosmetic surgery in-game into their
genetic face via SimPE. This would at least cut out the whole "make-a-Sim" thing.
The trick now is getting the appropriate Townies/Downtownies to undergo surgery in the game. I read somewhere that this can be done with InSim, but I haven't yet figured out just how...

***EDITED TO ADD***
Looks like TJ's Sim Blender has a "Fug Factory" option, which is basically cosmetic surgery for anyone on the lot. Between that & Inge Jone's Teleporter, I think I'm set!
(In case you haven't guessed yet, I am gearing up for another Hood Re-Set. Not a
reinstall, just a clean re-set as I am now getting pretty savvy on the subject of "character zipping" & want to get things juuuust right...)
