Inge's Pudding

Well, I made one, and it's a Sims3Pack.  There are no sims in my Saves folder so I can upload it as a Sims3Pack or not at all.

If you use "editsim" you can get her back into CAS, click on the sim's icon on the control panel at the bottom of the screen, and you get an option to save the sim.  This will create the .sim file, which would be preferable to the sims3pack.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Unfortunately we're not allowed to upload images here.

What I will do is put it on simlogical or something.

It will work also with "change appereance".

No one else has a problem posting a picture with their pudding.

[Inge]

That's nice for them.

Leave Inge alone, Jelly...she's old and frail and not up to the new-fangled technology like image linking that all the young kids are doing nowadays...

[Marhis]

Those damned kids... we didn't have all this fancy webby stuff: we had to telnet uphill, gophers, and veronica, and WE LIKED IT!

*grumbles and shakes fist at the Endless September*

EDIT: I suggest Inge to paste an ASCII-art version of her selfsim; not jocking  .

[J. M. Pescado]

Is Inge actually going to ATTACH anything, or is this a useless thread?

[witch]

I think her tea cosy has slipped down over her eyes.

[Inge]

I am going to put it in my own space and link from the first post.  I've been a bit busy, sorry.

Later: Links now added to first post.

1. The Launcher is Evil. We will not accept Sims3Pack puddings here. Your Pudding should be submitted by zipping the .Sim file out of the SavedSims directory. Avoid the Launcher!

Please try to be less fail. A Senator of your caliber should be aware of the rules and set an example. This is not acceptable.

No-one will want to play with you now, Inge. You'll have to stand in the corner and watch while everyone else has fun. That'll learn ya.

I happen to think that is an insignificant detail therefore I ignored it.  Besides which I have broken no forum rule as I haven't uploaded it to this forum.  It takes a matter of seconds to unSims3Pack a sim in one of the several custom unSims3Pack tools available.  Surely you're not that helpless?  

And you, Emma.

Having to be an "individual" style pain in the ass and be difficult and do it completely differently to everyone else is pretty much Inge's schtick. Hence why she uploads the wrong file and a shit-as-hell tiny little picture of the sim. I wouldn't expect anything less from her, really.

The problem, with packaged sims, is that they enter in game as households in the bin, while .sim files are in CAS as custom sims. Sims in the bin will also respawn in game with no control creating random wandering clones; you have to delete it from the bin as soon as you put it in game. If you want, later, to use another copy (like, populating another neighborhood, etc.) you have to reinstall the damned thing again every time.
Sims in .sim file, on the other hand, act the same as good ol' TS2 custom sims: they stay in CAS, in the custom tab, are always there, ready to go, and don't invade your hood whenever they want.

So, it's not simply a matter of file format: they're completely different things, with completely different behavior (and annoyance).

Quite so.  However, my previous method stands as an alternative.  Load the sims3pack.  Put simInge into the hood.  Delete library to get rid of the Inge "household" to avoid reproduction.  Go to game with Awesomemod installed.  Use editsim on Inge and pull her into CAS and save the .sim file from there.  No worries.

Hang on, what's the point of bringing the sim back into CAS - it's all ready to go in the game.  Sure, unSims3Pack it, but why do the other stuff?  It should be a true likeness of me, character flaws, colour prefs and all, ready to play.   She wasn't in a house she was just a sim straight from CAS.

Hey, spazcaeks - when you pack the sim from CAS it contains all the character flaws and colour preferences. It's not like TS2, where you need to rebuild the traits. They all come pre-packed from the .sim file.

[Inge]

Spazcaeks yourself!  So why does it need to go through CAS before using?

God you're dense today. Off your meds? As Marhis said, if you don't do the .sim file from CAS and allow people to manually add you to a house of their choosing but rather you do a .sims3pack like you did, you end up with someone from the Sim Bin that spawns clones and other pain in the ass bullshit.
