The Search for Nervous Subject's Clone

I'd post this to [livejournal.com profile] wcif_sims, but I've already posted once today, so I thought I'd ask here (though I'll post there tommorrow if this doesn't work out). I'm looking for an extracted version of the Nervous Subject "clone" found in the data of Strangetown. He's one of those unlinked dead characters, so I'm also open to advice on how to extract him myself. I have no idea, and I'm a bit wary of messing around with SimPE.



As someone who's already using the idea of cloning Nervous in a story, you can see how I'd like to use him in a wink and nod sort of way, right?

An unlinked sim can be relinked by changing a variable from 1 to 0 in the 'Other' tab (I forget what exactly it's called). Incidentally, doing this to Skip Broke (the real one, not the clone) will result in Brandi's unborn baby getting his genetics and having a chance of being a girl as well. :D

But yeah, 'no character file' is a bit more difficult..

oh yeah!! That was it!

I remembered there was a 'unlinked' something in one of the tabs, but couldn't find it. Now I see it. Is on Other/Misc/Unlinked it say 0x0000 for unlinked characters should be 0x0001?? (and in matter of fact I think I learned that from you, in the first place, but soo long ago!! lol)

But with 'no character file', there's no actual info to extract (for what I understand, at least)

Really? Well, that's too bad. I was hoping there'd be a way.

Thank you for looking into it! I really appreciate it. ^_^

I suppose I could recreate him. I did that with Nina and Dina's alien grandfather. I'm not sure if he's extractable at all, but I figured I'd just recreate him at the time, and tweek him to my liking. I prefer doing that with family tree sims most of the time anyway, since they're known for being straight template faces, who don't resemble their families at all (Lyla Grunt is a good example, since her face two has nothing in common with the Grunts, and she also has missing data, if I remember correctly).

Someone on MATY had revived Lyla (she does have data but it's broken, when I tried extracting her her package file would crash Body Shop), and her face was... er, explody. I'll see if I can find the link...
