She said that if you want to, you can change clothes too, only SHE didn't do it. Try to read carefully and avoid dumb questions.

Not sure if just posted from someone,

I noticed (and succesfull tried it) that following this great tutorial, I can also easily change the skintones of my own playable sims, without loosing any of their characteristics.
Very useful I think,

Default Question on packaged sims's filenames.
If someone can help me,

every sim "packed" using bodyshop esporter or downloaded, has of course many files included if all was done correctly.
The "main" sim file is always named by a sequence of numbers and/or chars.
For my own purpose, I would really interested on change this filename with my own easily recognizable name ( for example: SIM_Rebecca.package ) because I have listed and renamed all files into my download folders in a manner I can easily find them (so I said: DOOR_"Nameofdoor"_"Author"_"Version".package and so on).
Weel, my question is: Can I change the sim file's name without loosing something and/or have unespected collateral effects?

Thanks in advance,
Ice

IcemanTO, the package's name is meaningless in respect to its contents. Everything is refferenced by their unique identifiers, not their names (except in the case of some things INSIDE of the package, but the package's name doesn't matter).

Default University students question
Okay, thanks to a back injury I've been stuck at home rather than working so I've had some time to play around with SimPE the past couple of weeks. In the regular non-college neighborhood everything works great and goes off without a hitch. However when I try to change the students I get a warning that the student files are write protected, went in and tried to remove the write-protection but I'm just not that great with PC's any thoughts on the matter? Thanks in advance...

Navigate to the characters folder of the neighborhood, then select ALL the files. Open their collective properties and click and click again the box for read-only. It should be completely empty. Then click ok.

Wooters! Thanks Jax! College town is now filled with cute college sims ready to be pick-up or shot down by my simmies, and of course proffesors fit to drool over rather than paying attention to the courses...

I actually like the Maxis made sims, everyone keeps saying that they'll no longer have ugly sims but I think that it adds something to my game to have different types of sims. Afterall the world isnt only made up of 'beautiful' people.
Oh well, I'm still going to try this tutorial cuz I want to make a medieval village and it would be very beneficial if I could change their clothing and such. Is it possible to keep the same NPC's but just change their clothing? Or will I have to go thru the whole makeover process?

This thread is more about full-body, genetic changes. To just change their clothing, try this: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=108057. You'll still need to do something about reversion.

Since I installed Nightlife, each time I use the sim surgery the game runs fine, until at some point (perhaps not even in the 1ยบ run after the edit) the game casually crashes and the neighbourhood is lost. It has happened a short time after each time I tried, and it does not happen when I keep away from it.

Well, let's try other ways. I know that if I kill a townie, a new one just gets created, so it's pointless. But, on the other hand, I know some ways around to take a user created sim and turn him into a townie. What would happen if a kill a regular townie after doing so? Will it create a new one anyway, or would the number of townies (wich, unlike the first case, would not fall under the number of townies created in the first place, and that the game seems to try to keep) prevent the system from doing so?

And this last time looking back I'll see my home, for she awaits me reaching for my soul. She calls my name, and waves me on. The fallen one, she stands in flames

WhizzKid1234, the polination tech is a bit more complicated. He's just a set of genes.

Thanos, yes, that should work fine. The game won't create new townies unless the pool is to small.

Thanx Grapholina but there is another way to fix people faces from inside the game(when u r playing)
but u should have (the mind control mirror) and the award from the show bussness Career .
So when an Ugly sim visits u Just control him to us the (cozmetic device) and make him a good looking sim :P

Maximum_spider, that wont affect their genes. To change their genes, you need to use simpe.
