Renaming Files
Annette:
I use jfade's WTF tool to fix floors and walls. It is really useful ;D I have now backed up my renamed walls/floors folder to have easily in event of another restart.

Even with hacks and mods there are very few it's unsafe to re-name. It just goes for the ones that work together with other mods and have to load in a certain order, so if a hack is called ZZZ_fishmod.package, then don't remove the Zs, those usually means that the mods need lo load later than some other mod and the Zs put it at the end of the alphabet. Renaming a mod called "Mod that I made to change the little shadow error on fishing poles.pakcage" to shadowfix.package is perfectly safe.

1) Ok so I can rename .package files already at use in the game (say clothing used by a sim) and it won't be affected as the game will still pull the file by different data and not by the name? It won't go to default replacements in game unless the package file is deleted?
2) If I take a CC skin in use in the game, export it to a project in bodyshop, change a few things (generally add nips a v-jay jays) , re-import in the game, and then replace the the original skin pakage with the new skin (by renaming it and replacing it) it should replace it in the game right? Or am i wrong? (I thought i was able to do this once)
3) If I edit Enalya's default skins this way and replace them with the same name, do you think I'll lose the default status so that they'll still override Maxis defaults?
4) I was using a bunch of the fat family meshes but I'm tired of seeing all of these fat clothes when I design my other sims that I've removed them from my downloads folder. If I play the game with them missing I'm sure that particular fat family will go to maxis defaults and sizes if I try to play them again without those files. Wiill these characters always have the fat meshed clothing under their sim clothing settings (so it may be re-introduced at a later date) until its changed or will the next time I play the game after it realizes the fiules are missing it will then refernece the default clothing files every time it loads (thus losing any affiliation with the original meshes and clothes and NOT being able to be re-introduced at a later time). Any ideas?
Sorry to ask so many questions at once but I guess this would be the perfect occasion.

you can change your default skintone replacements using this method -

Oh I agree. I've seen your tutorial and I have it bookmarked. ;D
However if my replacing the original default file with the bodyshop modded file with the same file name than it would be very quick fix. I can backup her original files to make sure I don't lose them and try this on my own game this week and know if it works or not in literally 10 or 15 minutes. If it does I'll let you guys know. ;)
