Correcting the DNA of Strangetown premade characters
baratron:
OK. It seems Lyla has the usual Strangetown 2 lines of DNA missing - the ones that start 268435462 (dtString): and 6 (dtString): and correspond to Skin tone to be passed on. But why that would cause a graphical glitch, I don't know. I could understand it if it was her expressed Skin tone that was missing, but that's ok...
Anyway, try adding the following 2 lines (in purple) to her DNA:
1 dstring 00000003-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
2 dstring 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
268435457 dstring 00000003-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
268435458 dstring 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
268435459 dstring 2d6839c5-0b7c-48a1-9c55-4bd9cc873b0f
268435461 dstring
268435462: 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
3 dstring 2d6839c5-0b7c-48a1-9c55-4bd9cc873b0f
4 dstring -858851246:2140625487:1;
5 dstring nose,cheekbones,
6 (dtString): 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
It might not actually help now that she already looks weird, though. Probably it's best to fix the DNA before resurrecting her :-\.

The problem with that is putting up fixed ones would be clones, not the orignals......
The DNA is stored in the neighborhood file too, so it really can't be posted with the updated information and copied over the original unless the neighborhood is in a new and unplayed state.
Thanks for explaining a bit more. So no downloads to fix sims you've played, but it would be possible to do a download to overwrite files for a virgin 'hood. Could it go in the defaults? so when you reset or re-install they get set up right? Good for newbies and for a 'hood you haven't played.

At the risk of coming off rude, I think people need to get over their 'oh I'm not techie so I can't do it' attitude and just try sometimes.
I agree actually. I help people learn stuff all the time and as you can see I ask plenty of stupid questions myself! The kind of person who needs an easy download is the 13 year old girl who got Sims2 for her birthday and wants to know why PT9 doesn't have alien babies. Right at that moment, she just wants her pressie to work properly. A detour into SimPE takes the shine off a bit!!! Also SimPE is a pretty dangerous tool - OK that genetics fix is OK, but there's plenty of trouble you can get into. What she really needs is for maxis to fix the defaults.
No disrespect to all those 13 year old techie girls out there!

Well, I'm not 13, but I was really afraid for a long time to try SimPE. I was so sure it would turn my game into a LFBVFS. But I got over it, and now I love it. I am still going pretty slowly, so as to avoid disaster, but so far it's been working great. ;D

Why are the resurrected sims showing unlinked still?

That shows good sense! It's the people who aren't afraid who get in a real mess!
