Can a sim be prepared for safe lotbinning?
« on: 2006 July 07, 07:54:34 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I have a friend who wants to swap self-sims with me.  I've also read enough here to know that in general, moving a sim between neighborhoods is about as bright an idea as basing one's business strategy on short-bus preteens.  Still, vanity can make one do strange things.

So to the point, were a sim to be carefully scoured in SimPE of all ties to anyone in the neighborhood, would that alleviate the danger or would hoods still be in jeapordy?

In theory, but there's always potential for you to miss something and screw it up.

If you don't mind swapping sims without the lots, or just packaging the sims and lots separately, there is a way. Open SimPE, open the neighborhood. From there, open sims surgery and find your sim. Select use, then extract. Close sim PE, open Body Shop. Go to create or clone sims. You will see your sim there. Clone this sim without changing anything, then make a clone of the clone. This is the only useable one, so make sure to delete the others after cloning. Then you can package the sim to send to your friend. Smiley

Nec: Thanks, but if I wanted to go with plain bodyshop sims, I have the basic me already made.  That sort of bare-bones approach doesn't allow for any background or personality involved, which leaves out part of the charm.  (That, and part of the charm is also modding memories in SimPE in ways the game was not meant for; having one's first woohoo with sir bricks-a-lot is wrong in just the right way.)

Pescado: Paranoia and double-checking are part of every file I share, due to a long story involving family members, E-mail, and the forward button they couldn't refuse.  Still, my hack-fu is weak, so I'm trying to close off other avenues for ways one can be stupid.
