Looking for extracted sims from Maxis family trees

[strangetomato]

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a download of some of the Maxis characters from the family trees, specifically the anscestors of the Caliente family? It is possible to extract these, right? I know I can't ressurect them, and they're blacked out in SimPE, so that makes me wary of trying to extract them.

I could recreate the sim in question, but I'd love to see the actual character in-game.

I don't know if it's possible to extract those sims, but I found a site where you can download all the ancestors of the Pleasantview characters:

And here you can get the sims of Pleasantview as they were back in the Sims 1 (young Johnny Burb, Jennifer and Daniel Pleasant as kids, etc.):

There is a download that allows you to resurrect long-dead sims like that, I believe...

Oh yeah! Christianlov's Elixir of Resurrection. I seem to recall bringing back the long-dead with that. And the word is that it still works, although you're probably not gonna want to resurrect pets with it.

Only those sims that are represented in game with gravestones are fully developed.

The sims in the family trees don't have character files, DNA or proper memories. They aren't extractable with SimPE or resurrectable through game mechanics. If you were able to ressurect them they would be completely borked due to the missing information and files.

I have cloned Sims from family trees before using SimPE and then recreated them in CAS with their original personality points. They're not the same sims, you understand, but basically different people who look just like the old ones.

Specifically, I've extracted Skip Broke and Bella Goth from Pleasantview. I'm sure it would work for the Caliente sisters' relatives too.

Do you know how to bring back sims that were deleted in the simbin back? I deleted the capps extended family and the monty's extened family. *sigh* ive been wanting to play them for a while now.

You can get all of the Sims from TS1 at Sim Estates 2. Violet Kitty recreated all of the original Sims and many of the original houses for TS2. So that will provide ancestors for Pleasantview families like the Brokes and Pleasants.

I did locate a Nighat Caliente Sim (the mother of Dina and Nina, I think) on the Exchange. After my neighborhoods recently became corrupted, I decided to "roll back" my Pleasantview. So I did a bunch of searching for ancestors to Sims like Don Lothario and the Calientes. The Nighat Sim was the only one that I found.

I've got a project on my journal where I'm starting from the very beginnings of the family trees of all the pre-made Sims in the game in a huge, interconnected neighborhood. I searched long and hard for how to resurrect those tricky ancestors and finally settled for making them myself. I recreated them as accurately as I could to the thumbnails and fixed any extremely odd deformities, though still keeping the character of the more unusual faces. At the time I didn't know the Pleasantview ancestors were available for download, but that doesn't do me that much good anyway, as I still have 6 more neighborhoods to work with.
