han!!!!!!

hihi anon!!! sorry it took me this long to get back to ya--this week has been super busy!!

okay so i have exported out Jesse, Jason, Andromeda and Peaches using the same method i did with Lasagna in my earlier post!

so if you happened to catch the Astrolegacy finale live stream, Jesse has been ressurected but....... is a zombie. So you may need to cure her of that if you don't want her zombie-fied in your game LOL. We ultimately moved her in with Countessa in Old Downtown of Belladonna cove (would love to hear where you go with her from here lmao)

Andromeda

Jason

Jesse

Peaches

if you are able to, let me know if they work? then i'll have some confirmation and can post more to my site!! :)

totally following up on this MONTHS later but ahead of the Astrolegacy Finale i'd love to be able to share some of the big characters as a treat!!

i've followed the instructions given to me in this ask, please let me know if you can download Lasagna here?

For some reason she didn't have a little portrait in the sims browser like all the other sims, unsure what was going on there...!

if this works, i may de-age her back down to adult and re-upload, but wanted to see if i had the process correct with her current sim first before making any moves!

To extract (and save !) Your in-game sims, you will need SimPe. (If you are unfamiliar, you'll need winrar or winzip or any app allowing you to open archives.)

SimPe is available on MTS2, and doesn't require no installation. You may unzip it and run it !

From here:

• open SimPe (loading all your sims data may take a while)

• upper left corner, the tab "tools" > "neighborhood" > "neighborhood explorer" (? sorry, mine is in french :|)

• a new window should pop up, with all your existing neighborhoods displayed. Pick the neighborhood your extracted-to-be sims are in

• once the neighborhood is loaded (lots of lines and tabs ahah, don't worry about them), same as before: "tools" > "neighborhood" > "sim surgery" (again, long loading ahead)

• tadaa ! All your sims from that neighborhood are there. Quite a folk, eh. You may find them by their name. Once you click on the one you want to extract, go to the "sim patient" section (the first one on top) and click "use". From here, you can click "export" to save them as .package (basically, just saving their features) in your SavedSims folder !

If you want to turn them into Sims2Pack (so that their hair, outfit and so on are shared too) you may open the bodyshop, tweak them as you see fit and export them again from there !

I hope it is clear and if not, I'll try to explain better :)

Have a good one !

If you're up for it, of course :)

Cheers!

hihi!! omg i'm so glad you've enjoyed!! i'd be happy to share spares tbh?! i actually just have no idea how to lmao!! now that we've made it to the end-game, there's SOOO many spares, i'd probably be able to upload them based on requests or something, but y'all would have to teach me how to do it

i had considered briefly uploading the house builds for each gen but realized i thoughtlessly didn't save the game right to get the old builds, i've destroyed them along the way unfortunately :'(

IT'S TODAY! come hang out with us while we play through JASON and his adopted pasta sons, mom who stepped up of generation 6!

the sims 2 astrolegacy challenge is a legacy challenge with an astrology twist that i have been documenting on my channel, handrawn tv!

so far the livestreams on the channel have been featuring the spares of the Astrolegacy family but hopefully in the near future will also feature some extra games like stardew valley or animal crossing!

JOIN US on SATURDAY JULY 27TH at 4PM CENTRAL for another SIMS 2 ASTROLEGACY CHALLENGE LIVESTREAM!

we're gonna play gen 6 spare JASON and his newly adopted pasta bois John S. Ravioli, Linguini D., and Linda Gnocchi. I'm going to post a poll during this livestream to decide what we play live NEXT, either another spare of generation 6 or maybe even a Stardew Valley...?

I'm continually overhauling my official WEBSITE with updates and information!

I've received baby's first monthly subscribers via my Ko-Fi which has honestly been INSANE! It has really inspired me to take the idea of some kind of subscriber system more seriously as I have been kind of daydreaming about what I could offer, therefore:

I have updated my SUPPORT page on my website with my ideas, I think I am going to keep developing this and hope that maybe one day this dream could become more of a reality!

(tbh it makes me so happy to know it's still relevant to post challenge updates here on tumblr!)

Happy to announce we have pinpointed the next spare special livestream date: FRIDAY, MAY 31ST AT 6PM CENTRAL! If you cannot make this time: do not fret! I will be posting the VOD, and I plan to alternate my stream days, so our NEXT live stream will be on a Saturday afternoon to accommodate our steamed hams in other time zones. :))

Please join us Friday May 31st to finish up Lasagna's spare special! And allow Zombieline and Johnny "The Suck" Ravioli to inherit the Helluva Hacienda.
