Sim conversion - How to export Medieval sim... to future.
Hello,
I've played Medieval sims for a while and I must say Sims Medieval has briliant CAS, which allowed me to create new heroes, etc...
But back to topic.
The first point will describe my problem, which is little bit easy. I can say, bring created sim from Medieval game to normal base game, like a time Machine.
Technically, I want to export custom sim created in Sims Medieval to normal (base with WA, AMB and LN) game to play another game, not to play Medieval at all.
What I did?
First, I've loaded up Medieval and created a female knight for this instance. Next, I closed the game and found out that game data are identical with base, so I think it wouldn't be so big problem.
I've copied *.sim file to standart (Docs/El. Arts/TS3) SavedSims folder, where original game stores custom created ones. Its little bit same as original, but Sims Medieval stores to The Sims Medieval folder instead.
Next, I've fired up original, went to CAS, set as "Adult" (Not Young adult as my analysis revealed, Medieval sims are adults only), but I've encountered broken/template face problem I can say - it wasn't original Medieval sim's face.
What I did in points:
1: created a sim in Medieval
2: closed Medieval
3: copied *.sim file from Docs/EA/TSM/SavedSims to Docs/EA/TS3/SavedSims folder
4: started original game, went in cas, set as Adult
5: and encountered "bad face" problem.
Another method I used was with S3PE.
I've picked my Medieval sim and Original Game sim to perform "plastic surgery" (replace original sim's face geometry with medieval's one, both of them have in
S3PE 04F88964, in WinExplorer *.simexport), save modified one and pop it back to SavedSims folder, but this method has failed.
In spite of, I'm little familiar with S3PE, extracting music from game was my first "job" with this great tool.
What I did in points:
1: created a sim in Medieval
2: closed Medieval
3: opened *.sim (Medieval) in S3PE to extract its contents
4: replaced *.simexport file (04F88964) in "Original Game" *.sim file
5: saved "Original Game" and copied back to Saved Sims folder
6: loaded up base game, went to CAS? but nothing here (nowhere, not in YA and A, in short, nowhere )
The Last method I've tried, was to recreate sim from scratch in Original G. CAS, but due game's different sim creation system and skin (
I have Matt Default Replacement Skintone + Face Overlay by Shady (link:
http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=403630).
Personally, I've given up, didn't had enough power to do that, so here is the question to ask:
How to export sim created in Sims Medieval to original game and how, If it is possible?
PS: IF interested, I can supply you with files I worked with, can send snapshots as well..
And last, sorry, If bad topic / forum assignment, I wasn't able to find right one, so I wrote this here.. Hope it will be right.
