Resurrecting Skip Broke (A SimPE Question)
gali:
Did you check the tokens "I am dead" deleted too? Perhaps after the moving house, his previous tokens returned (i,e. "I am dead").
C.S.:
Yeah, did you check to make sure all 'I Am Dead' tokens have been deleted like Gali said? I don't think the tokens will return on their own once they've been deleted and the sim was resurrected though. At least they never did in my game.
I don't know if this might be relevant but I read through your posts again and noticed you removed the ghost flags off both Skip, but maybe that's the problem? When I went about bringing back Skip, Darleen and Michael, I left the versions with NCD (No Character Data) alone other than change their names. I have no clue if how changing those attributes would affect the ones with CD so I left them as it is. I didn't even delete them when I got rid of all the townies and YAs I know I won't play (yup, deleted them off in SimPE and from the game's Characters Folder so they won't appear in my game, ever) to trim the folder down to size and put off the too many characters bug and having to start all over from scratch again.
I know it's frustrating and tedious, but try going through those steps again to make sure you didn't miss anything? The method I provided above, I got it from the 'How To Resurrect Bella Goth' tutorial off the BBS. I was a completely clueless newbie unaware of things like SimPE and game hacks surfing the official website for solutions to my game bugs and I stumbled upon it. There was a craze about bringing her back then and there were people posting over and over asking and answering questions about the 'real' and 'fake' Bella so much so there was something of a 'Bella fatigue'. Well, I found this tutorial to work on my first try. You only have to do it once if you do it correctly, then backup your game files (not just the Neighbourhood folders) if you ever need to play from scratch for whatever reason.

OK, I created a new computer account therefore I have a fresh neighbourhood install. I also have SimPe version 0.40.1992.25042 Here's what I did:
01. Selected Neighborhood Browser from the Plugins tab, then Pleasantview then open.
02. Selected Neighborhood/Memory from the list of filetypes, selected the file in the Packed Files window, then selected Plugin View.
03. Selected the Skip Broke between Darleen Dreamer & Lucy Hanby.
04. Deleted the first ‘I am dead' memory, then clicked ‘Commit'. Repeated with the second then saved.
05. Deleted "Skip Broke Died" memories from Brandi and Dustin.
06. Changed Brandi's Skip memories (apart from Met Skip) to link to 0x00D0 rather than 0x0020.
07. Selected Sim Description from the list of filetypes, typed 0x00D0 into the Instance Filter box, then selected the file in the Packed Files window.
08. I changed Unlinked 0x0001 to 0x0000, clicked commit then saved.
09. I removed the tick from Is Ghost, clicked commit then saved.
10. Finally I removed the relationship for Brandi Broke, clicked commit then saved.
11. I went into the game and from Don Lothario's house I added Skip Broke using testingCheatsEnabled then saved the lot. A quit to he neighbourhood then returned to make Skip was ok (he was) and while Don was cleaning, I got Skip to move out using Don's pc then let him move into an empty house.
12. Back in SimPe I deleted Skips relationship status with Don and removed the moved in/out memories for Don and Skip.
13. In the new house I used Inge's shrub to summon Brandi so they could meet, become best friends and fall in love. This way the game creates some of the memories Skip requires instead of me creating them. The memories the game can generate are shown in red.
*Edit* The memories Skip should have are as follows:
Grew Up Well
Met Brandi Broke (0xADD79121)
Made Best Friends with Brandi Broke (0xADD79121)
Grew Up Well
Had Very First Kiss with Brandi Broke (0xADD79121)
Kissed Brandi Broke for the First Time (0xADD79121)
Grew Up Well
Fell in Love with Brandi Broke (0xADD79121)
Got Engaged to Brandi Broke (0xADD79121)
Got Married to Brandi Broke (0xADD79121)
Did WooHoo with Brandi Broke (0xADD79121)
Bob Newbie (0x0DAF718D) Died
Betty Newbie (0xADAF709A) Died
Had Dustin Broke (0xEDAE7952)!
Taught Dustin Broke (0xEDAE7952) to Walk
Taught Dustin Broke (0xEDAE7952) to Talk
Dustin Broke (0xEDAE7952) Grew Up Well
Dustin Broke (0xEDAE7952) Grew Up Badly
Had Beau Broke (0x6DAE79D9)!
I'm afraid I can't find any problems with Skip at all :-\ He seems perfectly happy and in my other game he is almost 70 and has moved house a couple of times. Have you removed the "Skip Died" memories from Brandi and Dustin?

I was going to add these in after I realised I was so busy focusing on editing Skip that I forgot about Brandi and Dustin :P. On Posie Flump's point no.6, you might also want to check that Dustin's memories of 'Learned To Walk' and 'Learned To Talk' are from the correct Skip, because in my version, they were memories of the Skip with NCD. That's also why I kept stressing to change the name of the NCD Skip so that you can tell them apart from each other when you choose the Subject's name in the Event Owner's memory so that you pick the correct one.
Hope you get the hang of it and succeed in bringing Skip back.
Jarsie:
I deleted the Skip died memories from both Brandi and Dustin, yes. But I probably didn't change the code #' or whatever. I will save this post for future reference and try Posie Flump's steps to see if this works, next time I install the game. (which will be whenever I get Nightlife, I think)...
Meantime I just downloaded a Skip from the exchange and will play him. Thanks everyone for all the help and advice!
