Question about SimPE and Sim altering
Aggie:
Is that possible to do if you don't have a package file or an exported file at all? Remember, I'm asking if it's possible to change their physical appearance using only the five lines of DNA I displayed earlier.
I'm starting to think it's not possible to do this without having to install a package file. I know the inherited DNA can be altered, but the physical appearance may not be able to. :( I'm assuming merely going into the game and having said Sim use Change Appearance on a mirror wouldn't do squat. *goes to confirm*
ETA: As expected, using the mirror will only make the eye, hair and skintone change, not the facial features.
Gwill:
The facial features, such as the shape of the nose and the size of the chin, are in the LxNR resource. There isn't anything very tangible to edit in that resource (nothing at all in plugin view in fact), just a lot of HEX. So although you can mess with the numbers, it would be pretty much impossible to find out exactly what you are changing.
So yes, you need someting to copy from.
BastDawn:
The attached text file is a post by Pescado from this site (pretty close to what he's saying here) and a post from someone named Nukael at MTS2. I searched around for this information months ago, and I've use this file as a guidline ever since when I need to to edit a sim. If you need screenshots, I think Nukael had a bunch to visually explain the process, but it isn't hard.
Aggie:
Thanks for the .txt file, BastDawn. That's going to be very helpful. :)
And thank you for your assistance as well, Gwill. That pretty much kills my hope that I could change the appearance of an NPC to a Sim that I only had the DNA info for, but I knew that was most likely anyways. I was hoping to avoid having to create unnecessary characters in the game just to change the appearance of one already there, but it looks like there may be no avoiding that at all.
On a similar (but not completely related) note, I'm thinking...I do know that I could change the inherited DNA of a Sim by using those DNA lines of info. I wonder if I could copy the DNA of a female Sim from one 'hood, replace the genetics of an NPC with it in a different one and then impregnate said NPC with a clone of itself and come up with a perfect copy of said female Sim. I can't see how this procedure would be useful in any way at all, but it'd be interesting to see if I could do it. :P

you could make a neighborhood just for this kind of thing, put the characters in that hood. then you could get the info from them in SimPE and then open your real hood and do what you want to do with that info.
