I do have NL - in fact, I was talking about doing something similar to what you're doing in another thread here (but your knowledge vastly outstrips mine. My knowledge is a puddle to your ocean. A molehill to your mountain. A dogfish to your Megalodon.)
How involved is the editing for the DNA/Memory/Etc? Are we talking rebuilding the sims from scratch?

I do have NL - in fact, I was talking about doing something similar to what you're doing in another thread here (but your knowledge vastly outstrips mine. My knowledge is a puddle to your ocean. A molehill to your mountain. A dogfish to your Megalodon.) Heh. I just love figuring out these problems. When the neighborhoods refused to work, it was a challenge I couldn't resist. Believe it or not, when I got Sims 2, I had never heard the words "hex," "binary," or any other modding terms. I learned it by doing exactly what you are doing, picking some project and figuring out how to make it work. And I'm no expert still. But I DO believe I'm the first to actually mess with the default templates. Or at least I never heard of anyone doing it before I did it myself... I searched all over for any sort of tutorial or even a point in the right direction, and there was absolutely nothing. How involved is the editing for the DNA/Memory/Etc? Are we talking rebuilding the sims from scratch?
It's pretty simple, actually. You have all the information in front of you, you just plug it in. You certainly don't rebuild sims from scratch. Most have minor problems, like a missing line in their DNA. You just plug a line of code into that line and that's it. All the info is already available right here at MATY and there are many people who could help you along. There are also picture tutorials around. I'd have to search to find them again (haven't needed them in a while), but they are there. |

The DNA thing is something I've been doing anyway, so at least I'm familiar with that. What kind of memory editing are we talking about? I've started to dabble in this, since I've resurrected most of the ghost sims in Pleasantview, Strangetown, and Veronaville, and several of them don't have memories, so I'm about to embark on a memory-adding frenzy.

Some sims have corrupt death memories, memories of "unknown" sims, missing memories, and memories that make no sense. You generally don't *have* to edit memories other than to delete ones that can actually cause problems (corrupt and unknown). I do it to make sims a little more well-rounded. If you've already done some DNA editing you've done the hardest part and the rest is simple in comparison. |

This is incredibly awesome, SaraMK. I will be watching the thread to see when and where this will be availabe for download. As for the minor difference in lot placement, who cares? I agree with the others that I probably would not have even noticed it. No big deal.

No word from SaraMK for a couple of days... Hope her 'puter didn't blow up when she tried testing this...

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to work on it because of too much crap from real life. I did finish editing, so it's just sitting on my harddrive right now, waiting to be tested. I'll probably be finished tomorrow. |

I understand about that real life stuff. I am really looking forward to this as well, but I will wait patiently. Whenever you get around to it. If I had to try and do this on my own, it would take me forever, if I could do it at all. So take your time.

And, thank you, for testing before releasing!

It seems to have passed testing.
The only glitch I found was Pascal's stupid baby, which gets an alien father on the family tree but is a gender-inverted clone of Pascal in terms of DNA. I'm going to fix that (or try to), and then upload the neighborhood.

Sara, you have to clear his pregnancy token in SimPE, then make him pregnant with aliens again on the tombstone and speed the pregnancy up (according to Pescado when I asked him this awhile ago).

I'm uploading right now to Megaupload and RapidShare. I'm also going to make it available through LimeWire (someone requested that).
BlueSoup also offered to host the file. It's 77MB, so it's not that bad at all.

(another load to be delivered after I install OFB and therefore have a reason to rejoice)

You are my hero! I can hardly wait to download it! I have been wanting this since TS2 first came out! *worship* |

ETA: 11 minutes for RapidShare, MegaUpload, and LimeWire. A little longer if you want it from Blue's place.

Okay, SaraMK's project has been moved to Peasantry, to this thread. Sara, you can add any other info and change the title, etc. as you need to - I just picked something quickly. |

Yeah. I've been semi watching that thread. But I saw that the latest files where only the 'hood files and not the character files. I thought you needed both?  Ste Someone suggested that I would only need to upload the files that changed when I updated them and the neighborhood files are the only ones that changed. You do have to go through individuals sim descriptions to get their individual DNA but it actually does nothing to the character file. |
