SimPE and Relationships

[Orikes]

I have a couple of sims that I have engaged, but I want to un-engage them. Is it safe to change this in SimPE? Basically, I need to get photographs of the proposal again, since the ones I have are horrible. If SimPE isn't the safest way to change this, is there an alternative, besides mucking with their relationship with boolprop?

InSim will do it quickly, if you're willing to download it and kill an innocent puppy. I haven't done it in SimPE in ages, and I don't recall if it works flawlessly.

If all you want are photographs, rather than wreaking havoc on your actual game, why not just extract the sims in Simsurgery, then create and reshoot the scene in a disposable hood?

That's actually what I have been doing, and while it's not that hard, it is a little time consuming. There's also the fact that some of the lots I use are not over there, so I'd have to do the upload with each if I need that particular setting. I thought if I could just play with those check boxes in SimPE and get the same result, it would be easier. Simpler, at the very least.

Here's an idea. Disposable neighborhood = a copy of your real neighborhood. Clone the sims, make a copy of your Neighborhoods folder, install the clones into the copy of the neighborhood, take the pictures, and delete the neighborhood afterwards.

Doing things with InSim/SimPE may seem faster. The concern is that the sims will probably end up with double memories, unless you then clean those with SimPE... and editing memories can be a hassle. Plus who knows what sort of glitches could occur while you're messing around (so make a backup, right?). So it might not turn out to be any faster or easier after all.

That's probably the safest thing to do. Ah well. Sometimes 'easier' isn't the best thing to do, especially when it could cause my neighborhood to become a BFBVFS. Since I don't have the first clue about how to change memories, it's better I stay away from that. And I've already tried your patience enough with the whole eye fiasco.

Plus, memories are one of the no-go area's until there is a Seasons version of SimPE produced.

If it was me I'd back up the 'hood, warp their realationships with your weapon of choice (mine would be testing cheats), get the shots you want, nuke the 'hood, and restore the backup.
