SimPE, cloning dead sims. Halp.
ShadySentinel:
The short story is that my favorite legacy family/game is borked so I'm starting the neighborhood fresh but I'm going to attempt to preserve the aforementioned family.
I suck with technology unless I have directions so I'm asking for help or at least a link to a tutorial.
This is what I'm hoping to accomplish:
I'd like to restart my neighborhood (Pleasantview) with my legacy family as least mostly intact.
Question one: If I were to package their lot and then install to the new 'hood, would it still be corrupt? IamMamainred says yes, and she knows more than I do but I'd just like to be sure as my other option is rather tedious.
Question two, three, and four: How do I clone dead sims? I want to keep the ancestors there with their tombstones and all that; is this possible with SimPE? How do I make them ghosts?
Thanks for any and all help. I'm hoping to have this done with by the end of the weekend.
And I know I'm really doing it the hard way but I'm being stubborn and want to keep my family. :P

Yes, only more so.

Cloning dead sims is the same as cloning live sims, if you want to simsurgery. Packaging dead sims, doesn't work too well.
Basically, you're SOL. You should address the corruption at its source instead.

Can I clone dead sims and give them a death token or something?
How do I find the source?
Again, I'm not awesome. :P

He means you won't be able to clone the ghosts and package them. Instead, you should try to save your original, corrupted neighbourhood, by fixing whatever was trashed.
Basically in order to accomplish what you've proposed, you'll need to extract each sim with no memories, history or relationships -- just personality and genetics. Then you want to put them in a new 'hood and use SimPE to re-build the family tree, and re-create every memory, and relationship they had with one another. This isn't only time-consuming, it's quite likely that you'll make a mistake along the way, because it will be your first time doing it. Then your new 'hood will be corrupt before you've even started to play it again.
Either give up on your family or follow the FOJ's advice instead.
jolrei:
Yes, I usually just clone/recreate the sim as a 12 or an adult, give them their personality points back, and they start a whole new life. All that rebuilding relationships and memories rubbish is just too much work. As for cloning dead sims, if you want ghosts, clone the live sim, put him/her in the game, and kill it.
