Re: Is it possible to duplicate a sim and change their characteristics?

@PipMenace Thanks!! This is super helpful! I duplicated the sim and moved the new duplicated sim into the house, but I’m a little stuck on how to delete the old version of her. I didn’t want to evict the whole house because there were other sims living in it. Could you walk me through that?

    @DystopianViolet  You have a couple options if you want to get rid of one Sim in a household.

    1. If you're willing to use cheats, hit CTRL + SHIFT + C and type testingcheats true in the cheat bar. Then hold shift and click on the Sim you want to get rid of, and choose "Remove from family" (or "Kill" if you're feeling mischivious, though be warned the rest of the household will mourn).

    2. If you don't want to use cheats, or have trouble like you did with fulledit in CAS, you can still have the Sim move out.

    Open their phone, and go to travel:

    Then choose "Split from household and move":

    You can either give them enough of the household funds to purchase an empty lot somewhere, or move them out with nothing and just merge them into another household. You can then delete that household.

    3. Of course, you can also easily split a household from Manage Worlds, rather than while playing the household. Find the household you want to edit, either in manage households or in the world. If in the world, choose "Manage Household"

    When the household editor opens, choose "transfer Sims between households":

    Create a new household and transfer out the Sim you want to get rid of:

    No matter how you split the household, the last step is the same - open manage households and delete them:
