Exporting Sims WITHOUT using SimPE
Aggie:
Naturally, Bon Voyage has broken certain SimPE features. I seem to be able to use a minimal amount of functions in it, but not Sim Surgery. I would like to extract a Sim from the game, but the program throws up errors whenever I try. I tried manually locating the package file in the Characters folder, but when I placed it directly into the Saved Sims folder (or inth my Downloads), he doesn't show up in BodyShop at all.
Does anyone know how to extract a Sim from the game without using SimPE, or if they know i'm doing something wrong, could they kindly inform me as to what it is that I'm messing up? Thanks.

SimPE will start throwing errors as it chokes on all the new functions it doesn't understand, but with patience you can click through the box for every single one. I did this a couple of times when I had to mess with personalities and interests in SimPE interim periods, and it worked alright for simple modding. Anything with memories or other areas that has been significantly retooled is off-limits, but the most elementary basics are good to go.
I'd assume simsurgery works alright once you click through everything the game throws at you. If not, you can definitely grab the basic facial geometry file and append it to other sims as needed. It'll be a pain to click through everything the program doesn't understand every time you load it up, but all you can do for that is wait for the next release.

I'll give it another try, but I think it keeps throwing the exact same error at me, thus making it never-ending. I'll post the exact error message here shortly.
ETA: Yup, the same error every pop up. Here it is:
Error while trying to open: Package: c:\documents and settings\[name]\my documents\ea games\the sims 2\neighborhoods\N004\N004_Neighborhood.package.

The only suggestion I have is to be patient and wait for the new SimPE.

So it's really not possible to export a Sim from the game without SimPE? :-[
