Exporting Sims WITHOUT using SimPE
ZephyrZodiac:
You could try this method of exporting families - move the sim you want to export to an empty lot, and then save, exit and save the lot to a file. Your sim, plus all memories, will be in the file, so I would only do it with a newly created sim who hasn't met anyone yet, since you can't use SimpE to wipe their memories and relationships. However, the newly created sim on his empty lot can then be installed into any other (BV) version of the game you want to play.
Aggie:
Thanks for the tip, ZephyrZodiac. However, the Sims I want to export are all either children or toddlers that were born in-game, so they can't be moved into an empty lot alone.
I guess I'll just have to wait a few months for SimPE to be updated. For some reason, I thought I had heard that it was possible to physically copy their package file from the Characters folder, but I guess I must have misread. :'(
ZephyrZodiac:
I'm pretty sure that they become unlinked if you do it that way. I know that SimPE will not read them. I had this problem when I tried uploading stuff to online backup, then tried redownloading, which can only be done (at least, with my ISP's backup) one file at a time, whole folders are not allowed, so a) it takes forever and b) the character files are useless as they cannot be read.
J. M. Pescado:
It's possible to directly export LXNRs, but in order to use the outdated SimPE with BV, you will have to disable a bunch of plugins that try to read SDSCs.
Aggie:
Would disabling these plugins be fairly easy to do (i.e. choosing which ones to disable), or should idiots such as myself just suck it up and wait for a SimPE update?
