Btw, I wasn't sure if this really qualified as a hack, so I posted it here in the general beta forum instead.

Okay I extracted his portrait from L-J's package file.

I like the pointy ears, I always give my aliens pointy ears. His nose is a bit large though, I wonder what the female counterpart in his DNA looks like.

So it looks like he is basically just facial structure with no other data? What id do we set it to so it overwrites the original Pollination Tech's facial structure?

No, he has age data, a 3D ID Referencing File etc., but AFAIK the only bit I needed to edit was the facial data, so that and the jpegs were all that I included in my package, since nothing else needed to be overwritten.

Unfortunately I can't recall the id off-hand, because TS2 and SimPE are on my other computer, but I'll look it up later when I have the oppurtunity.

EDIT: The group id is 0x7F45284D. I assume that's what you meant, right?

Yes that's what I meant thanks. I'll have to see if I can make my own and get it to work.

It's in objects.package. Do a group filter using the group GUID in my package to find his data. To replace his facial DNA, simply extract the face of one of your own sims or a sim in bodyshop, then dump it in a new package and change the ids of the file to match those of the pollination tech.

Of course, a bit of knowledge of SimPE beforehand might help...

You could see him when your sims had an alien child and look up the alien child's family tree and you'll see the new pollination tech.

You can change stuff if you want to. If you just want to use my pollination tech, just dump the .package file in your downloads folder.
