Maybe you should try to create a new hood instead that is the same hood number as CB, then copy the contents of the character file over and see if SimPE will read it. That way you won't have to mess with renaming any files.The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580283748430731213.post-16363091923826114282009-10-12T13:22:18.264-05:002009-10-12T13:22:18.264-05:00Laura - the back up isn't as small but it'...Laura - the back up isn't as small but it's smaller than it should be. I have no idea how it could have gotten that way. It never crashed or anything so I don't get it. I started on a new hood on my lunch break. If I move over the character files, where would I find the sims I want to use? I guess I could access them in SimPE and package them so they would show up in my downloaded Mizzgin03https://www.blogger.com/profile/09469549494631108468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580283748430731213.post-26273413347753440792009-10-12T12:59:36.761-05:002009-10-12T12:59:36.761-05:00Since you're already at the throw-away point, ...Since you're already at the throw-away point, I wonder, what might happen if you copied your character files over to another neighborhood, and changed their neighborhood number to match? Would they show up there? At least if not usable, in a way you could extract them? Maybe something to try before you scrap it all.<br /><br />Wow, that's so weird how your neighborhood file got Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990333808465359314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580283748430731213.post-66409359981876582312009-10-12T11:39:11.846-05:002009-10-12T11:39:11.846-05:00Thanks Tanja!
