I took all the sims out of the tray and stored them in a file on my hard drive. I'm trying to sort them out by time stamp. I have noticed that if I take a "household" and a "trayitem" file of the same timestamp and put them in game tray, I will have what looks like a workable sim. However, I have noticed that there are other files associated with the same timestamp--"hhi" and "sgi". Do I need these as well? Are the "hhi" and "sgi" safe to delete if I want the whole sim? Hope I have explained this well enough.

I'm not sure on that as I haven't fiddled with it but it seems like the information Srikandi posted a link for over here might be related http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/dis...ing-the-gallery Worth a try at least.

Thanks. I'll follow that link.
