The only way to do that is by the surgery table from Uni. But it doesn't carry to the Body Shop clone. I prettied one of my sims up with the table and then exported them... same hideous sim I started out with.

Hey this tutorial helped me to create a "long lost step brother" to one of my Sims and gave me a better understanding of practical game play uses of SimPE and Body Shop to boot! Thanks!

Yes, I am haveing the same problem,
There is a strange thing where you cna't extract all the dead sims, or at least most of them.
Can someone help me out here?

I have a problem. When I check the sims description, all I see is "Unknown" with a picture of Mr. Potato Head. I did uncheck the No Meta Information, close SimPe, open it again, and still all the sims are marked as Unknown. What's wrong?

All it was was an outdated simpe, if all you have is unknowns just update simpe.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I've been barely touching my game out of fear of losing a few sims I created in CAS, now they're safely backed up

Awesome! The most cutest child-sim I have ever made, ever, I made by breeding sims... xD Almost impossible to remake the sim in body shop, so it makes it rather hard to remake the sim. This is awesome; thanks sooo much for this guide! ^^;'' -Goes to open up bodyshop and see if it works-
Edit: It works wonderfully! Wootness! ^^;'' Thankies thankies thankies thankies!

Hi! This tutorial works very well, and I'm surprised at how easy it is. I have one question though - while I was being an idiot a few months ago, I deleted the family containing the sim I want to extract. I noticed that in SimPE the sim and the rest of the family still appear in the sim description list but not in the sim surgery list. Is there any way to make her appear in the sim surgery list where she can be extracted?

I tried adding her and the rest of her household to an existing family, but that didn't work.

Thanks!

Does this technique work for NPC's as well, e.g. Mrs Crumplebottom?

Does the neighborhood has to be in the EA games folder to extract the Sim? I say this because I just restarted all my neighborhoods but moved my old ones to my desktop. So would it affect my game is I extract a Sim from one of my desktop neighborhoods?

I'm also trying to do this, I know about the plastic surgery machine, but I do not wish to change my sims facial structure, only his skin tone. I need to update his skin tone with one I recently created...is there a way to do this? As the only plastic surgery machine I have seen, only modifies facial structure.

That wasn't very nice...

If you want to change only their skintone, here's what you need to do:

1. Create a Sim that has the new skintone (leave them in the Sim Bin if you want; you don't have to play them at all).
2. Exit the game.
3. Start up SimPE and then open up the Neighborhood Browser and choose the appropriate 'hood.
4. Select Sim Browser and choose the Sim that you recently created.
5. Click on the More button and select SimDNA.
6. You'll see five lines of code under both Dominant and Recessive. Since this is a new Sim, both sets of code will be exactly the same (well, four lines of code and an area that lists the dominant facial features in the Dominant area).
7. Copy the line next to Skintone. Paste it into a Notepad document if you wish (again, since this is a new Sim, the code should be exactly the same).
8. Go back to Sim Browser and select the Sim you want to change. Again, click on More and then SimDNA.
9. Copy that line of code to both the Dominant and Recessive areas if you want the skintone to be very dominant. If you don't want that, just copy it to the Dominant area.
10. Click Commit and Save. Done.

Oh and Chrizta0000, yes I believe the 'hood has to be in the My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods folder to be able to extract a Sim from there. It's easy to do, though. Just move the folder back there, open up SimPE, extract the Sim, and then remove the 'hood's folder again. Easy.

Thanks so much! That worked perfectly. I can't tell you how long I've been trying to figure out how to do this and in the end it was so simple. Thanks again!

I had this same problem...my simmies didn't show up in Body Shop, after exporting...

BUT !...for me, for some reasons, i have to put their pictures in BOTH "patient" AND "archetype" for it to work !!!
So i find my sim, then click on their picture...click on USE in both squarie windows, then i click EXPORT...then i rename them and hit ok.

Then i find my sims in Body Shop, and CAS. you guys could try this ? it is the only ways for me.
