The FOLDER is there, with all the character files and the family thumbnail, but that family just doesn't show up in game... (I tried redownloading the family in case of a corrupt file somewhere, but still no luck...)

It's not like I don't have a bunch of other families to play with now, but it would be a shame if that one family is missing...

(I'm a stickler for completeness...)

Thanks for any help or suggestions!


Yes there is something wrong and I will let @Jawusa know about it.

I downloaded it and all other but for the Roth's show up.
I looked and could not see what the problem was.

I like the idea of having the subhoods as stealth, but not having 42 of them. Any plans of making stealth versions that includes all familes of each particular hood?

...
any chance of an update?

thanks a bunch!

@Jawusa Do you still have the templates for this because the husbands are missing from the Specter hood.

one question. Why these sims are so different than these in family trees? I understand they have no data and stuff but why made them so different?

They still somehow look different than in original neighborhoods and sims wiki pics.
Nevermind that. I wanted to say that veronaville families don't have descriptions (or at least Monty ones)

Although they might not look like as the originals, we tried to give our best to recreate those deleted sims as close as possible.

#41 Old 4th Apr 2020 at 11:17 AM
Well if they are recreations then shouldn't the description that says "These Sims have the original DNA, original Genetics and original looks. " be changed? Since they don't have accurate looks

some of these sims I could believe are best tries to recreate but some just look far from what we see on wiki or in family trees.
I don't say they look bad, some look better than original but that's not really it :/

They pretty much have only pics, names, and maybe DNA for hair/eye/skin colours.
it is impossible to extract their look from there. You even said yourself you made them using 'resurrecting sims with no character data' method which means making clone.

I understand sims with broken faces, your interpretations of their looks are creative. But other sims that don't have broken faces are kinda surprisingly different.
I don't mean to be mean or anything. I really like your works, but advertising it as accurate feels not right. Here are few examples (was too lazy to give them same clothes but it's face that matters the most anyway)
They are only from pleasantview but by looking at screenshots I see that strangetown and veronaville have similar issues. Other hoods aren't that bad because most/all ancestors in them have data.

The alpha build of the game is very close to Sims 1 than it is for Sims 2 and that is the reason they do not look like older pics show, they will grow up and as long as you make them look like what they did in game with makeup and clothes they are very close to there dead pics.
Your pic is not close to what they look like in my Sims 2 game. (I no longer have Sims 2 installed) but many other players have them grow up to look very close to the Sims 2 Wikia. https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/The_Sims_2
The stub file that was left in the game has the original DNA, looks and genetics. This is all that is left for the dead and deleted sims and all I added was what is need to make them alive again and playable.

Make a sims then delete that sim and then make a sim close to him and extract the data and replace what was deleted like I did and you will have that sim back with his original DNA, looks and genetics.
Then you extract this fixed sim and clone him to a new game and you have your sim back complete and playable with his original DNA, looks and genetics. (Until you do this you will never understand.)

I can not make them look like sims that was built in a Sims 1 game engine look like a sims 2 game engine sim and keep there original DNA, looks and genetics in Sims 2.

Just forget it you will never understand.

Enjoy your game your way and I will enjoy my game my way.
Have fun and goodbye.

I am not sure from where you have this information but Pleasantview was not made during the "alpha stages" of Sims 2. It was made close to release, Around the same time Riverside was made. It was made on the same engine that the Retail version of Sims 2 is with minor differences such as different portrait poses.

The sims don't have any of their DNA in their sim files actually, and the only DNA they have is actually left in the neighborhood file thing where only their Hair Colour, Eye Colour and sometimes Zodiac and Personality are listed. I followed what you did to fix Nighat Caliente and used Bella Goth as a base. Nighat was ressurectable, but she was a clone of Bella Goth.

The method you used does not give the original looks they have in their portraits by EA. If it was that simple to just ressurect those sims, why didn't for example the user Carrit who made the Completely Ressurectable Base Game Neighborhoods use that method? Cause it does not give accurate looks.

What was said in the description of Beginning of Pleasantview "These Sims have the original DNA, original Genetics and original looks." is completely wrong. Once you do what you said with completely different looking sims (e.g. Victor Goth, Les Pleasant) you will see that Les Pleasant would be a total copy of Victor Goth.

Just forget it, you will never understand.
