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.

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...

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  ;).

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

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

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.

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).

Thanks i just used firefox to download it all is well now.  IE seems to be giving me fits today.

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.

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.

I already told you - unpack the sim from the sims3pack FIRST.  Do not install from the Sims3Pack if you don't want to.  Taking the sim into CAS again adds nothing of value.  But anyway, most of this stuff is old wives tales, or typical Pescado paranoia.

Inge is like the woman who gives out change at Halloween. Oh, thanks. I guess I'll use this to buy candy. So, thanks for adding a step to my Halloween process. I'm going to egg your house now.

It doesnt come as a sims3pack.  

Just clicking the link comes up with:

and right clicking, it downloads as an XML Document file.

 ???

Hmmm.. It worked for me.

Right-click "Save as..."

Or, y'know, you could just follow the rules like everybody else. What makes you the speshul snowflaek who doesn't have to obey?

Yes, I am doing that, and as I said before, it comes up as a XML Document file 

Let me guess, you're using IE? Use a real browser. One that asks you what it should do when it encounters files that have extensions that it is not aware of.

Is there anyone here who is so distressed by me linking to a .Sims3Pack on my site rather than uploading a .package as a thread attachment that they would like me to remove the links and close the thread?   Or are most people sensible enough to be able to cope?

Please let me know, and I will weigh up the situation when I have your responses :)

I dunno, Inge seems more like the old coot that hands out mini toothbrushes and toothpaste packs on Halloween.

Follow the established rules for posting a sim or GTFO.

Actually, it was thought that you could have simply saved the CAS sim into the savedsims area from CAS (like everyone else), which would create a .sim file, not a .package file.  This .sim file could be saved directly to the thread.  Very easy.  This also makes life extremely simple for the downloader.  I mean, look at the number of posts in this thread where people experienced difficulties loading your sim.

FFS, just post the .sim file.

I don't know how to.

To post a .sim file:

Find SimInge in game. Move her into a home.

Open the cheatbox and type "editsim Inge Jones". The Create A Sim screen should appear.

On the bottom of the screen, where her thumbnail is present, click the ellipses and there should be an icon for saving. Click it.

Quit game.

Enter "My Documents" or similar, then "Electronic Arts", "The Sims 3" and finally "SavedSims". Your sim should be there. The exact path will vary according to where the game stores userspecific information.

Upload and relink.

I get "unknown command" for editsim

You will need to install Awesomemod to use that cheat.

Or, simply taking Inge to a mirror has the same effect.

Ok so take her to a mirror then save and I get a saved Inge in Savedsims?  I will try.

Be sure you hit the "Save Sim" button while in the CAS mode, Inge. Saving the actual game after looking in the mirror will not have the same affect.

The tick icon, you mean?

I think so. Can't picture it right now. It's tiiiiiny though.

I used the tick both times but I am not experiencing any SavedSims folder either in My Documents or the Program Files hierarchy.

Quick screenshot from CAS:
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/Lady_Faizah/TS3/SaveSim.jpg)

It deposits the sim under My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\SavedSims all nice and ready to upload.

So how did you get that options panel to appear?

Hit the ... button.

Result!

Huzzah!

I am deeply disappointed that this is not titled "PuddInge".

Inge's not that witty.

No, and after the struggle I had producing this in the format required I was in no mood for joking anyway.

I moved Sim Inge into this lovely English Garden home (http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=603757).

Is there a Sim Peter? She is lonely. ;)

The link didn't work for me Motoki. I got a lovely 'oops' page though.

Hmm, that link works fine for me.


*edited because Motoki didn't actually make the pretty house. :P

Odd. It works for me. Anyway, it's the house called "English Garden Home" from this user: http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/waditah

Cheers mate, it worked the second time.

There is no Peter, you only got me because it was a Senatorial Obligation :)

Does Pudding Inge not have any extra traits?

No it's a bog-standard, as-EA-intended sim :)
