cloning sim

I'm not well versed in editing files and stuff but do remember the "Get to Work" pack has a literal cloning machine that can be upgraded to clone sims themselves.

They'll be given a random first name but keep the last meaning they are essentially a sibling (same stats but no career/relationships), and can also become an evil twin by accident.

Hey! Yes I tried this method, but they have all of the skills set in place. I tried using cheats to get rid of them, but it didn't seem to work :/

I may have been doing something wrong, and if anyone has any input there that'd be helpful. I used the skill cheat people use to max out their skills to 10 (or 5) and set them to 0 or 1. I tried with both those numbers and neither worked. They stayed maxed out!

Otherwise, that was my first choice for sure!

Thanks x

@alnorine I Think there is a way to create a sort of clone without using the cloning machine from the Pack Get to Work.

First you have to save a household with the Sim you want to clone into your library. Then place this household onto a lot to create a completely new family with it. Use the cheat cas.fulleditmode and then go to manage worlds and adjust the Sim you want to clone in this family back to toddler stage. Save this family and return again to manage worlds. Now you have a family with this toddler which is a younger version of your initial Sim. Go back to manage worlds again and exchange this toddler Sim with any family you see fit in the known or visible world. Of course when a Sims family already consists of 8 Sims you have to replace one Sim back into the newly created family. 

When you finished these moves you can always delete the family you used to create the clone entirely.

Have fun playing. 😉

Awesome! Thanks so much. Yeah the reset with the mods is totally what I'm looking for. Just fiddling with MCCC getting the hang of it and I'll try the other too.

First time asking a question. Thanks to everyone for your thorough help!

I'm resetting skills, degrees, earned/purchased traits, relationships (aside from family genealogy), aspirations (I see MCCC does this), work history if that's a thing, aaand since my Sim has been a Spellcaster and vampire, I want to wipe that out. If a reformed vampire gets bitten again, I'm pretty sure they start out with a lot of points already, but I think there are basic cheat codes that can wipe that, so not worried about that, but will definitely see if MCCC has an option. It seems more stable and less likely to wonk up my game.

Essentially, I want my "Mini Me" Sim to be totally blank except her genealogy with her family. I do not wish to reset them however. So I just need to have a wiped Sim, delete the current one with all the skills etc, and slip the new one in the family.

She also kept having all these issues too of people thinking she was cheating or that she was being cheated on bc they had a romance bar from autonomous flirting previously. Bc I couldn't totally delete the bar, it was making her get slapped a lot haha. Or she'd be miserable for a while thinking someone she'd never dated was cheating on her. I see too that MCCC can fix this.

So I'll just tinker and it looks like all those needs can be met. Excited to get this working! It was pretty tedious before trying and failing different methods!

Thanks! x
