Is there anyway to fix this sim?

(1/3) > >>

kaitco:
Okay, here is the problem:

So, I decided to create a story about one of the Pleasantview families and went back into the game to retrieve Pleasantview in its original state. I created a new neighborhood with the original Pleasantview, renamed all the files using the Ant Renamer and Voila! a new Pleasantview. As I played my new Pleasantview, I decided that I wanted to bring a sim from the Pleasantview I was current playing into the new neighborhood. In my own infinite wisdom, I just copied the character file from N001 to the new Pleasantview in N005. Of course, he did not show up in the new neighborhood, so I just deleted him and went about my business. However, when I went back to play him in my "current" neighborhood N001, all of his memories were deleted along with any relationships and family ties.

I tried to go back into SimPe to add the relationships and, through various uses of the InSimenator, he more or less remembers everything as he should, but one problem remains. His family tree does not show his children. He shows them under relationships and all three have the "family" icon on their picture, but the family tree shows only him. When I go into the homes where the children are (he got "around" a bit, so his kids have different mothers), the children show one another as siblings, but they only show their mother.

To explain it a bit better: The problem sim "Trotter Hayle" and the other sim "Lilith Pleasant-Hayle-Price" have two kids, Roland and Drew. Trotter had a child, a boy name Joel, with another woman. When I play the lot with Roland and Drew and click on their family tree, they show their mother, themselves as siblings and also their brother Joel, but they do not show their shared father Trotter. Playing Joel's lot also shows Joel and his mother in the family tree along with Roland and Drew, but still no father.

I tried a method suggested to me on TSR about editing the family ties through SimPe, but when I click on one of his sons (Roland, for example), I get the error shown here: http://www.doriennesmith.com/error1.jpg

I know I am opening myself for rounds of ridicule with names like Trotter Hayle for my sims, but can anyone help me with this?

I have all the EPs, except for BV and have none of the SPs. Here are the contents of the error window that shows in the example, if it is of help to anyone:

jolrei:
I think what you mean is that you "moved" the sim from N001 to N005 (not "copied").  If you just copied it, your sim would have remained intact in N001, no worries.

When moving sims, it is best to clone them using SimPE's simsurgery and then reclone them in bodyshop to set them up for the game.  There's a tutorial on this somewhere about.  You do have to manually enter interests and other personality data to more or less duplicate a sim.

That is just the problem, though. I copied the character file from N001, pasted it into N005 and then tried to run N005. When he did not show in N005's sim bin, I deleted the character file from that folder and, when I ran Pleasantview, found out that sim had problems.  :-[

Roux:
Well, you get points for breaking your game in an original manner. :) But if you're getting a SimPE error, perhaps you should ask for assistance at that forum?

sudaki:
While this is almost definitely not the awesome solution, and may be something you've tried, have you tried using Insim's family tree to "make [sim] my child/parent/whatever"? As you're already using it it may be worth a try if you haven't already.
