Question about SimPE and Sim altering
BastDawn:
Yes, you use a junk 'hood to create the donor sim and trash it when you're done. No muss, no fuss, no problem. :)
Aggie:
Yup, that sounds like the best plan. Thanks everyone. :)

Rightclick, "replace", with one that you exported? I dunno if Newfangled SimPE can. I only use Ye Olde SimPE.
Call me stupid and unawesome but, say for example:
I had someone's self Sim in the game (we'll say Denimjo's)
She updates her Sim and re-posts it for upload, but I already have her in my game and she's doing great so I don't want to dowload another and start all over.
I ask her to export her new Sim's LXNR and use that file to replace the one in my current 'Denimjo'.
Couldn't it work?
Or am I completely misunderstanding and simplifying?
I do realize the question was 'with DNA only' and the answer is 'no', but now I'm curious if it could be done without creating new Sims.
Downloading an LXNR to replace a Sim would be more appealing than downloading the whole thing.

J. M. Pescado:
Denimjo's DNA is very unlikely to have changed, so all you'd need to do is replace th LXNR. However, if Denimjo has any spawn, all those spawn will be the spawn of Denimjo 1.0. You will need to then "rebreed" these spawn by extracting the new Denimjo, and whoever you bred Denimjo with, into CAS templates, and create them in a seperate neighborhood, then using CAS, generate the spawn (only faces matter, personality irrelevant), extract the LXNRs from the spawn in the junk hood, and put them LXNRs BACK into the main hood versions. The procedure gets increasingly involved for more generations of the affected sim, like with, say, Brynnes.
Zeljka:
Glad to hear no spawn = no problem
heh heh, it was actually Brynne I was thinking of because there have been many versions of her and I have one of the earliest because it was compatible with EPs I had.
Haven't actually bred her though, so all's good.
(I may be the only person who finds playing SelfSims of people I know well through the community too weird.)
