Default Trouble cloning/otherwise doing anything to play Melissa Sims
Hey all. I know there are threads and pages explaining how to do this but I can't seem to figure out how to fix Melissa Sims. I also know there are already downloads of her floating around the web, but those are of the genetic version of her (green eyes, pointy nose) while I would prefer the "corrupted" version of her (brown eyes, button nose).

I'm familiar with cloning Sims through Body Shop, but it crashed when I tried to open her (I probably should have suspected something was up because she was bald and had weird clothing in her thumbnail). I also know my way around editing the Age Data, Property Sets, and Sim DNA in SimPE but her file is in a format I don't know how to work with (the Age Data has strings that say things like "activecat" and "le10_0"). It might have to with her character being unlinked or something.

I know I can sort of replicate her in CAS, but her face is ever so slightly customized and I suppose I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to Sims.

Sorry for being difficult haha, it's just that I've seen success with extracting corrupted Sims' appearances and I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong. If this is a problem that seriously can't be helped then I'll leave it alone.

(I don't know if I need to include these but just in case)
Specs:
2014 Toshiba Satellite C55-B running Windows 10

Are you sure it's customized? It looks just like a normal face 2 to me but without the eyebrows. I can't find anything in the wiki to suggest its customised. But I haven't entered CAS in years so maybe you have a better eye than me.

The wiki links to this method, I don't know if that's what you used or not because I know very minimal about cloning: https://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=94489

You may need to fix her character data like I did with the deleted sims in my "Beginning Hoods"

"Resurrecting Sims with no character data"
https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Game_g...ms_back_to_life

The info is about half way down the page.
Once you do this you should be able to extract her and clone her in body shop.


ADD:
She may not be fixable but you should try anyway.

Quote:
Like most pre-made deceased Sims from Strangetown, Melissa is very glitchy. Though her head-shot depicts a teenage girl, she is recognized by the game as an adult male on his last day before becoming an elder, which is typically a sign the Sim was corrupted in some way. If resurrected or summoned with the Tombstone of Life and Death, she will appear as a teenage girl with red hair which will disappear immediately after she appears, along with the second template face, and brown eyes.

According to this her face and nose had been customized. (I'm not sure how accurate it is, but when trying to remake her in CAS I did notice some subtle differences from her headshot on the wiki.)

Sorry I couldn't help you, but as a side note that link was so useful!

As an adult maybe? because as a teen, it sure is.
The link Marka provided, you can read...:Apparently Melissa's head-shot depicts her to wear an outfit consisting of a dark red jersey, and dark blue jeans.
It is right there in my BodyShop.

You are welcome!
Right, we cannot see the whole outfit in the head shot, but the colour of the collar being of a lighter red than what seemed to be the rest of her shirt...it just had to be that one outfit.
Oh! and while at it, HP added a shirt to cover the belly..I am not sure if it is a default replacement though, she does not say..

HP's modesty outfits are defaults.
