Inaccessible Sim

I'd like to get a headshot of one of my sims that died recently. However, I forgot to save the sim before I killed her off (part of my preset storyline; pardon my somewhat murderous intentions) and now the sim's ghost won't appear at all. Is there any way I can get the headshot without having to figure out how to force the ghost to appear before going into CAS?

Have you tried resurrecting her and saving the game in a different name? Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 07:30, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

UPDATE: I moved the grave to the graveyard, and he came back. However, I wanted to change the look of the graveyard so I went into Edit-a-Town mode and the graves all disappeared.... How do I get them back? Yours truly,

I'm not really sure if there's a way to recover a missing grave. Have you tried looking at the mausoleum? Click on one and choose "manage the dead", if the option is there. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:01, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. I have, but there are only graves of dead dogs.....

Since you've started the same topic on Talk:Ghost, I think we should continue there. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 12:35, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

Adding an Offline version

Well, with the current tutorial, you need to have a Sims 3 account. I have posted in a user's account regarding the s3pe way of doing it, and if desired, I shall be glad to see the offline segment on this tutorial MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 03:52, June 1, 2012 (UTC).

Well if you know how to do that than by all means please add to the tutorial! xD I need to know how! Starmoonie(Talk Here) 03:56, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

Headshot?

I have never before heard these pictures called "headshots", only portraits or more rarely thumbnails. If one says "headshot" in an article relating to video games, it usually means firing a weapon so that the projectile hits the target's head. Good tips for SimPE. Sometimes you can get an older version of the portrait from the character file. -- J7n (talk) 13:20, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure if there's necessarily any difference, though according to Wikipedia, "a head shot is a modern portrait for todays branding needs, where the focus of the photograph is the personality inside the person captured." Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 15:22, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

I accept this. Maybe there is a language difference as in truck/lorry. -- J7n (talk) 17:23, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

THANK YOU

I have been using a photo editing software for headshots but finally, there's a tutorial. Thanks on whoever contributed this!

Wrong Picture Size

I followed all the instructions and it worked, but when I went to save the large version of the picture, it was still a small thumbnail. I tried photo editing it, but the picture is just too small and gets very blurry when resized. How do I get the normal size of the picture?

I have this same 'problem'. If I look for headshots in s3pe I only find the rather small ones, while in this guide it shows to have huge ones. How can I get those? Tiezel ^(talk) curious? 19:17, August 27, 2013 (UTC)

Family Portraits (or whatever it's called)

I want to get a family picture in TS2 via SimPE like the one shown on the Loner family page (but in a black background, if possible?) but It's not here on the article and I totally have no idea how to get ones like them. anybody here knows how? Imasexysimlover (talk) 21:29, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

The black family pictures are for family bin families/Sims. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 21:58, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

I get them all the time for my Fanon families. They aren't bin families. If you go into your neighborhood folder (in the same directory as your download folder), and open the ID for your hood (N001 for example), and then open the thumbnails folder, you will see a SimPE readable file that called "HoodID_FamilyThumbnails" where the HoodID is the ID of your neighborhood, like N001. This file will have the JPEG images of all of the households that are playable in that neighborhood. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 22:46, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Help! s3pe doesn't work for me!

Help! I've clicked on the download link for the offline Sims 3, but it doesn't work! I don't feel like sharing a sim online. Wikierzz1122 (Let's talk it over) 04:22, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

What link? Where did you get the link? Is your problem about S3PE or the game itself? You're not forced to be connected to the internet to play The Sims 3, you know? Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 10:41, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

My problem is about S3PE. When I click it, it says "Webpage not avalable". I still want to get the headshot offline. Wikierzz1122 (Let's talk it over) 20:59, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

Oh...! Sorry, I finally understood what you meant. The site that supports S3PE has been moved here. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:42, February 12, 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Nikel23! It worked for me. Wikierzz1122 (Let's talk it over) 00:30, February 14, 2015 (UTC)

You never really finished the way to upload Sim families onto The Sims Wiki website. You got as far as opening libraries. But, what is the rest? And I looked in my Library folder and it doesn't show any of my families in it. How could I finish uploading and what is the deal with the Library folder?
