Thanks for the Help!

Just to say thanks. I managed to update all the ugly NPCs. Here's a pic of the result: (This is my first post, so let's hope this works)

Thanks for the tutorial, I wish I could tell you all that it worked but I can't. I tried to change the outfit of the maid this way so I exported the maid with the "export" option in the surgery window. Then I gave her a name, different clothes (the Maid4U outfit somewhere on this forum) and everything else needed in CAS. The last thing to do was to do surgery to finish it all (so I thought). But nothing happened, the next morning I got the usual maid, nothing changed! I tried some other maids and it appears that just the haircolor and minipicture have changed. What did I do wrong? Can anyone help me?

How do the changed sims look in SimPE after they revert? Which sim do they look like?

I don't know why no one else is experiencing this problem, but after following the tut and going into Sim Surgery, my archetype character isn't there. I even moved her into a lot, saved, and quit, and she's still not showing up in Sim Surgery or even Sim Browser. Any ideas?

Do you have NL? SimPE can't read NL character data, yet.

actually, SimPE can read nightlife character data. it just cant do things like make vampires and such.

Yes. You can use in on townies, downtownies, npcs, user-created, Maxis-made, etc. I wouldn't try it on nonsociables though.
