This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default Don't know where or how to restore Sim PE sim appearance files.
I wanted to take a family I created before and save them to the sim bin. I followed the step by step guide on sims wiki what I was left with was five .package files all Sims PE did when I was done was tell me to select a place to save the files which I did. I have the files I just don't know what to do with them so that I can recreate them for use in another neighborhood and my head aches from trying to figure it out.

Also hello everyone. :D

If you are trying to remake them using SimPE Sim Surgery then you need to place them in "C:\Users\(your computer name)\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\SavedSims" folder and they will show up in CAS in the age they were saved in.

It's a good idea then to clone them and use the clones not the original files from SimPE.
I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

Ok I figured it out. Apparently Sim PE only extracts Sims I would need to use Body Shop to get them into the game it seems. And Body Shop only reads Sims saved directly to Saved Sims (can't move them there later). I cloned and packaged using Body Shop and they showed up in CAS and I was able to add them to a collection. I just have two questions.

1.) Now that I added them to a collection can I just delete them from saved sims to cut down on clutter?
2.) Can pets be added to CAS or will it mess the game up cause when I viewed my pets in Body Shop they both had a Human head and looked glitched. Lmao.

1)
Always delete them or move them entirely out of the The Sims 2 folder. Otherwise they can create trouble.
It can be nice to have the SimPE generated files as a backup, but keep them far away from the game folders.

2)
That doesn't sound good. Also, I'm pretty sure pets shouldn't go into Bodyshop. I think you can save the entire pet as a preset ingame, at least in CAS. Not entirely sure about the change appearance menu.

You can save pets ingame, just go into the house where the pet lives, and get a sim. Go to the phone, and there should be an option to 'register pet breed', it might be under pet adoption services or something like that, I can't remember. Then you will get a new breed in your CAS pets, which is an exact copy of what your pet looks like.
