Game guide talk:How to extract the appearance of in-game Sims

Extracting Sims with SimPE

 * Extracting Sim files using SimPE with the following three methods.
 * 1) Extracting Sims from the templates of the original Neighbourhoods folders that are located in your Local Disc (C:)
 * 2) Extracting Sims from backup copies of your game's Neighbourhoods folders that are located wherever you stored them.
 * 3) Extracting Sims from your game's Neighbourhoods folders that are located in your current game's Neighbourhoods folders.

I've found using the first two methods to be quite harmless, even though I do feel that it's recommended to save new copies of the Sims you extracted, using BodyShop, since it results in a significantly smaller file.

I've only used the third method once, and it corrupted the data of the four Sims that I extracted, which forced me to re-create them in Create a Sim, using files that I had extracted safely from the original neighbourhoods templates. ―  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 02:22, April 7, 2016 (UTC)
