Correcting the DNA of Strangetown premade characters
chrystalia:
Ok. Just trying to make sure I have everything clear before trying to add the fix for Strangetown. I am so not awesome that I must take this in baby steps!
1. Is it ok to put the file in Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods\N002 as Venusy suggested? From my very limited understanding, this sounded like an option that would not require me to remember to do anything else with it later on (or is my memory/lack of understanding playing tricks on me?).
2. If Strangetown has been entered, can this be used or must I reinstall to avoid very bad things?
3. Looks like there was a fix for Veronaville as well. Is it still possible to get this?

is there any news on the Veronaville fix? Ive never played that N'Hood and dont particually want to while it's broken :)

Well, you could get SimPE and use the instructions in this thread as a guide for fixing the Veronaville characters yourself. :) It's actually a good way to get familiar with SimPE, and at worst, if you screw up Veronaville you can just restore the backup you made before you began messing with it.

1. It is OK.
2. A started Strangetown will not be effected at all as the new file is copied from Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods\N002 to My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhood\N002 only when you start Strangetown from scratch. When you start the game and there is already a My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 directory nothing will be copied.
3. The Veronaville fix didn't work as it was created after Veronaville was entered. The changes in that fix you can easily do yourself with SimPE as there are only a few sims that have missing DNA. At least the game will not crash then.
To make a full correction of Veronaville so that each Sim will get their correct DNA as if they where born in game will take a lot more time and efforts. According to StarrKist we have to change the apparence of some of them as they can't possibly be childs of their parents. Veronaville is lost.

I 'could' attempt it ... but to be honest I detest that program, lol .... the last 3 time's ive used it in an 'serious-getting-to-know-you' kinda way ..... well, ive ended up having to re-install the whole game!
Im just hoping that some nice person will do a lil' plug in like they did for strange town :)
