Their might be multiple selections here, particularly if the sim has gone through all the different ages in the game. Now when you open your sim's file go to Geometric Data Container. SimPE also has a sim surgery plugin where you can export any neighborhood sim's looks to a bodyshop template in the SavedSims directory and call it whatever you want. Those will get saved in the SavedSims directory and tend to get file names with numbers so you might not be able to easily tell who they are unless you just have one in that directory. You can do this from neighborhood character files if you know the sim's character #, which you can get in the sim browser in SimPE, or you can do it with a bodyshop sim template. Now find a sim whose facial structure you like and open their package file in SimPE. The face templates will always be in sets of 2, the regular and LOD15 version so make sure you get both geometric data container files for each template. You can delete the exported files once you've added them to your new file and saved it. Make a new file in SimPE and import them. Now fine the face or faces in question (remember, you can get the names from the CAS in debug mode) and then export them. Then I would hit the "type" bar above all the geometric data container listings on the right side to sort them alphabetically because it's just easier to deal with.

You want to pick Geometric Data Container because those are the actual meshes and the only files we're really concerned with. On the left side there's several selections. If you are going to leave the game open then you will need to make a copy of this file to work with it, SimPE won't open the original while the game is running. Now the file you need to look for is Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Sims3D\CASFace.package. I actually ran the game in windowed mode and left it open while I was hunting for the face files. This gives you the internal names of those facial templates. Now go to the screen with the facial templates and hover over them.
