If they still have enough character data to have a face and information about clothes, etc., their looks can be extracted in SimPE. This creates an exact copy of the sim (if CC was used, this method requires the same CC to be in your game when you open Bodyshop, or the clone won't have those CC items).

Tutorials for extracting sims with SimPE+Bodyshop:

https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Game_g...of_in-game_Sims
(either one will work - one is in video format, the other is text and pictures)


Thanks, but, the problem is that my Deleted CAS Sims are not showing.
for Instance, look at the pictures i sent and their descriptions (sorry if the images dont show im only saying this cuz when i previewed this post the images didnt show.)

Yes but how do i make a clone of them? Like a exact replica. Is there a way or do i manually recreate the Sim?


To get as close as possible you must follow the tutorial I posted above, (very labor heavy on your part.)

If you don't want to take the time needed then just recreate them.

Good News: I did do it and my deleted CAS Sims are now visible, so are their portraits and names, but SimPE says their character file is missing, and they are unlinked. Their personality points and other data are still ok but they're not really playable. It's like the ancestral and hidden sims. They're visible via SimPE, have turn on and turn offs, aspirations, personality points, but they are unlinked and the files required to be a functional Sim are missing.
Since they probably have enough data, i might as well do your tutorial


They clearly have character files, you can see them listed on the right side of the image. "No Character Data" is not the same thing as a character file being missing.

GUYS I MANAGED TO DO IT. THANK THE REPLIERS FOR HELPING ME.

THE TEXT IN PARENTHESIS CAN BE SKIPPED.

How to resurrect Family Bin Deleted Sims:

You must have SimPE.

1. Create their clones. (The difficulty can vary. As one of the replies said, If you used the default face templates for them and know which ones you used, it can be easy. If you did Manual adjustments it can be hard. But having your Sim's portrait or full body can make things easier. Also, it's not necessary to add their exact Simology like turn on and offs, aspiration, etc because when you complete this tutorial their actual data will appear)

2. Go To SimPE. Copy and Paste the OG Sims and their respective clone's GUID Numbers into a NotePad or something. To copy a Guid number, go to your Sim (clone or not)'s character file by going to their Plugin View and clicking "More". Go to their Object Data, and there, you can find their Guid Number. Copy it.

3. Swap the clone and the OG sim's Guid Numbers.

As for the clone, if you're clueless on what to do with it, do whatever. You can delete their sim description or whatever.

The following steps are completely optional, and it is up to you if you want to do these steps:

2.5. Extract the OG Sim's portrait by opening their character file, and extracting "jpg/tnag/png image". (You'll need this because when you Swap their GUID Numbers, your og sim and your clone's portraits will swap too. Once you swapped them, go to the OG Sim, delete their portrait and add their original portrait. If you did this step after you swapped their GUID numbers, go to the clone instead and extract the portrait and give it to the OG Sim. By clicking "Add" in the character file resource list (dont click on the resources))

4. Add their relationships. You can do this Via SimPE or in game with cheats, but adding family ties requires SimPE.

(This Tutorial can be also the tutorial of resurrecting those pre made dead sims who have no character data. As for the tutorial in the Fandom Sims Wiki, that tutorial screams "work harder not smarter", so if you're willing to resurrect a dead premade sim with no character data, you can do this tutorial, but as for clones, you can download a clone from the internet, but you'll require a program that installs Sims2Pack files. I resurrected Hidden Darleen Dreamer, an ancestral Sim by doing this.)

If you want to bring back your beloved Sims who vanished after you reset your neighborhood or reinstalling the game, you'll need a backup that has those Sims. Otherwise, those Sims are permanently erased and there's no way to bring them back. You can "bring them back" by trying to recreate them from their existing photos or clips.

I Hope my tutorial helped, and i hope you managed to resurrect your beloved DVFB sims.
