Correcting the DNA of Strangetown premade characters
altered:
Thank you, so much, baratron for this. I'm SimPE virginal, and this was very easy to follow. And now, I understand the genetics of my Sims somewhat.
I have a question. I noticed when I opened up a Sim, like PT #9, under Relations, every person that was known to PT#9 was also checkmarked as being Family...people like Gen. Buzz and Ophelia. When I looked at all my Sims whose DNA I corrected in Strangetown, they were all like that...if they knew someone, then the family box was checked up, as well as the known box. It's too weird to see this between Johnny Smith and Ophelia, since they are in love with each other. Anyone know why this is? Is this a weird way that Sim PE reads the files, or is this another example of Maxis "Oopsness"? Is it ok to uncheck the files if they aren't related (I'm talking the ones that really aren't related, not folks like Chloe and Lola who are related to Jenny, but it won't show up)?
RainbowTigress:
I saw the same thing in Pleasantview with Dustin and Angela and also Lilith and Dirk. I don't know why, I figured it was another of those Maxis things that don't make much sense. I removed the checkmarks and haven't noticed any problems.
IgnorantBliss:
I noticed the family check in SimPE, as well, but I don't think the game still considers them family, or otherwise sims like Angela and Dustin would not have any options for romantic interactions.
jmtmom:
Well I took the plunge and fixed all the Strange Town characters using the instructions here. My game didn't blow up and seems to be working fine. ;D
One question though, do the lines have to be in order? I did order some and not others, it didn't seem to make any difference as far as playing the sims, but I haven't had them have any kids yet.
RainbowTigress:
No, they don't have to be in order. In fact, all of my sims born after Uni seem to be out of order, which doesn't hurt anything, but makes it a bit confusing.
