Title: Easiest way to extract the pollination technician? Post by: spambi on 2007 December 14, 02:57:48 I'm trying to make my own pollination technician. I'd like to start with the default technician and tweak it slightly because the default I made from scratch is actually too normal looking (or the kids are at least.) What is the easiest way to export the sim for bodyshop? I assume I could either:
1) open his file up in SimPE sim browser, switch him to not an npc, hope he shows up in Sim Surgery so I can export him and then switch him back to an npc. I'm a little apprehensive about doing this with a beta version of SimPE. 2) teleport him to a lot with the shrub, make him a member of the family, export him using Sim Surgery, then make him into an npc again. This seems risky also :-\ 3) Download a pollination technician (or at least the face template) from somewhere, though I haven't found one. Thanks for your help.

There are some pollination technitian replacements on MTS2, but as far as I understand those will only apply to new neigbourhoods, not exsisting PTs, but don't quote me on that. I've yet to find a good guide on making your own replacements, but there is this quick guide: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,10066.msg275608.html#msg275608 Title: Re: Easiest way to extract the pollination technician?

The replacement pollination technicians are applied as soon as you add them to your downloads folder. I got sick of having too many fugly lookalike PT spawn in an existing 'hood so switched over to this set from MTS2: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=71852 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=71852). The subsequent abduction babies were spawned by the replacement PTs. Title: Re: Easiest way to extract the pollination technician? Post by: spambi on 2007 December 15, 14:15:24 I made a default technician, but he looks too normal. I wanted to look at the game one's facial structure for comparison, but I guess there's no way to extract him. Thanks though :)

Thanks though :) How about using Pollination Technician #9 Smith from the Strangetown neighborhood? He's got that long-faced, no-nosed aspect to him, and he's extractable. Title: Re: Easiest way to extract the pollination technician? Post by: spambi on 2007 December 15, 16:45:29 Oh, interesting idea. I guess I'll actually have to open Strangetown.

You can find it here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9028.msg247151.html#msg247151). I think that you could probably use this as a starting point for creating your pollination tech.
