Game Play Questions, How do YOU play?
Zazazu:
I just roll for Uni. I think it's 50% who go and graduate, 25% who don't go, and 25% who drop out at some point. I'd have to look at my script.
Yimmit:
How do you extract the character thumbnails to use them in the family tree?
Emma:
I think they are the SimPe thumbnails for the characters.
notovny:
Yep, that's exactly what they are.
Slow way to do it:
1. Open SimPE.
2. Open the Neighborhood Browser. Load the Neighborhood.
3. Open the Sim Browser. Find the Sim you want, and open him or her.
4. Hit the More button, and open his or her character file.
5. Select the jpeg/tga/png image resource on the tree, and then in the resource list.
6. Click the button that says Export and save it.
7. Go back to step 2, and do the next sim.
A faster way diverges at the third step.
1. Open SimPE.
2. Open the Neighborhood Browser. Load the Neighborhood.
3. Open the Sim browser. Find the Sim you want, and note the character file name. Don't close the Sim Browser.
4. Open a Second SimPE session.
5. Navigate to the Characters folder in the appropriate neighborhood, and open the character file you noted.
6. Select the jpeg/tga/png image resource on the tree, and then in the resource list.
7. Click the button that says Export and save it.
8 Go back to your first SimPE Session, and find another Sim you want in the Sim Browser. Repeat from step 5.
Using the latter method, I eventually could extract a character portrait every thirty seconds or so.

I have dice rolls for almost everything, except for dating others. When I decide that I want them to get a first kiss, a date, or a spouse I just have them check out nearly ever person of the correct sexual orientation that they see until they find someone they have at least 2 bolts with. If, however, they don't seem to find anyone, I call on the Gypsy or have them go for whoever they have some sort of attraction for.
I have a huge Excel file for all of my dice rolls. College attendance is affected by family worth, and sexuality is affected by gender. I researched dropout rates and sexuality and fudged the numbers for my purposes, but most stuff was made up off the top of the head. The only thing I didn't make* was the list of the different types of businesses for the adult page.
