Re: cloning sim

@alnorine Depends on what you want to do. Both are extremely useful. But if you only want to reset skills, uicheats is easier. You can just click on their skill in the skills window and type in what you want it to be. MCCC will do it too, but you have to go through menus. MCCC has a TON more options though. Which is why I use both.

    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

    @alnorine Hmmm... Neither program will do ALL of that. I'm sure.

    I think it might be better in your case to just clone their looks. It should work fine as long as they're not a mermaid or alien.

    There is an option in MCCC to copy a sim's looks from one sim to another. This might be better. It's the only way to ensure a completely clean sim.

    Just create a brand-new sim. Same gender, but looks and clothing don't matter. Put them into a house, take them into Live mode and click on them. Go into MC Command Center\MC CAS\Copy/Paste\Paste Tray Sim\Any Saved Sim

    You can then pick your sim from your library and copy their looks and clothing. You'll need to tweak them a little bit. Makeup doesn't come over, but everything else does. Plus they won't have any of their skills or history.

    Just don't try it with a mermaid, alien, or vampire. It tends to not work right with those.
