Relinking Sims without character file or restoring a character file
Sandman:
Does anyone know how to relink sims that have been unlinked due to either being deleted or who have died and don't have a tombstone in order to resurrect them. I have some sims I want to restore to the game and have figured out how to get their pictures onto the lot that I want them to be at but they are still not showing up in the lot. I have read threads at SimPE where they need to be relinked but no one says how to relink them. I have found an area in SimPE that has a link that says relink character but it is greyed out. Evidentally I need to do something else before I can use that link.
After doing some searching I found a few post that tell you how to restore a sims that can be restore if they were deleted or that has a tomb stone but they all say you can't restore them if they don't have a character file. They all have the little pink box in the corner of their picture. If there a whay to restore a charcter file so I can restore them. Some of these were deleted before I knew how to play the game...:( I am guilt ridden and want to restore them...:)
My gut is telling me to forget it...but I seldom pay attention to my gut.
Avalikia:
While there are some parts of a character file that are that can easily be replaced with data copied from other character files, there is some data contained within a character file that's unique to that Sim. For example, I believe the data used to construct their face is in there. I suppose in theory it could be possible to create a file that would work, but your Sim would definately not be the same and you're more likely to create a borked character. It's definately better just to forget about it.
Inge:
What does unlinked actually *mean*? It is supposed to be one way of finding out if they are dead, but living sims are sometimes marked unlinked in simpe.
Theo:
Looking into the code, it means that the SDESC's SimId field differs from the GUID field of the character's OBJD. SimPe's relink dialog offers a way to synchronize those values.
Inge:
I thought they were always meant to differ. Nannies are all the same GUID, aren't they, for instance? But different NIDs.
