Have a question Don't know what to search for to answer it

I dowloaded Sim3 sims from the exchange or outside website and within those sims are clothing and a skin that loads into the game and disappears when i remove the SIM files from the Saved sims folder. i would like to use these items without having to have those sims installed in the game. Is there any way i can search for find or extract that info from that sim package or find it in my sims3 folder
