deleted sims?

[kauaiboi]

how can i bring back a deleted sim? i accidentally deleted my sim and im really pissed off at myself.. are there any codes?

[cwykes]

deleting sims is a very bad thing.  Likely to cause mess in the game files and future problems with other sims.  HOW exactly did you delete them?  The sim bin in game? SimPE, deleting the character file?  When was your last back up?

[kauaiboi]

well... i was building in "character life" or whatever you want to call it.. and i forgot that i had the "moveObjects on" code.  my fingers moves very fast and i pushed the delete button like a idiot! haha.. i dont remember when was my last back up...

Exit the lot (save it) and re-enter it. The sim will be by the mailbox. Your other option is to exit without saving.

If you exit out, saving or not, your sim should be by the letterbox when you next enter the lot.

ETA: Oops, should have actually paused to read the post referred to in the red writing.

and if both doesnt work? im guessing im outta luck?

[kauaiboi]

oh and i forgot to mention that is was on a community lot..

Your sim will be at home by his/her mailbox.

If you go to the sims home and they aren't there, you can use the lot debugger to 'restore family' but you won't need to, they'll be there. Deleting sims with move objects on doesn't really do anything but reset them.

As long as we're on the topic of deleted sims...

I deleted Chester Gieke in-game from the Sim Bin. Later I realized that he had a family history and that I shouldn't have done that. Seems like I should be able to restore him from the standard templates, since I never played him. True? And if so, where should I look for him?
