Fanon Template Guideline
Greetings there, new user!

You wished to use the Green boxes? Hmm, then simply use this: Copy it in either mode and modify it and you should be ok, although in this case Source mode is recommended (as it lists the different things to be listed). This is an empty Sims 3 Sim template.

As a sidenote, when you go writing things like hair color and eye color, preferably state the sim's hair color (unless none of the listed fit: examples such as this and this ) as either black, blone, red (which includes shades of oranges), brown or grey, as other inputs will put them on the colored hair section. This is a minor element but it helps in categorization. Likewise with eye color, use blue, green, brown, or grey, as other inputs will put them on the category "Sims with unusual eye color (fanon)".

You also stated to have wanted to have some screenshots, right? Regarding screenshot, simply press C to take a screenshot. However, if you wish to take those headshots with the blank backgrounds, the way to do it as far as I know is to use the s3pe program (google it): once you have that opened, Depending on your OS,

(XP)

It should start at My Document -> Electronic Arts -> Sims 3 -> Library

(Vista/Win7)

Document -> Electronic Arts -> Sims 3 -> Library

And there is where your families are.

But, to do it that way you must save the family into the library: if you haven't done so, when you play the game, go to the town edit mode, select your family and click on the folder button, which will send your family into the library for you to access.

OR

Document -> Electronic Arts -> Sims 3 -> Saved Sims

Like the family one, you also must save the individual sim. The quickest way in most occasion is to activate the cheat testingcheatsenabled (opening the console via ctrl+shift+c), and assuming that your game is up to date, shift clicking your sim will allow you to access the CAS menu (beware, your sim must be in one of the 5 standard clothing set, that is no work clothes or martial arts clothes), and from there there should be a button at the bottom right corner of the sim portrait with the ellipses on it. Once again, click the folder icon.

Having opened the file, you will get a list of files. To find what you need, first sort the files by the tag name by clicking on the tag tab, which will sort it in alphabetical order. Scroll until you get to the SNAP tags, which will hold what you want.

Otherwise, happy fanon writing!

Thanks so much for the help! I'm very happy to have started my Sim's page but I'm having some issues with the picture. I downloaded s3pe but my cpmputer says I need some other download or something to use it. I also tried taking a picture of my sim in the CAS but the picture appearently did not save to my laucher. I have no clue what to do next :P Also

I've found where to look at a saved sim (My Document -> Electronic Arts -> Sims 3 -> Libary). I have a ton of files there that I cannot open and here is the error message that shows up when I try to open s3pe. Also (sorry for all the questions) I can't seem to edot the green character box for my fanon sim and her children have disappeared from it.

Sorry to budge in like this but maybe try checking in (Documents-Electronic Arts-Sims 3- Screenshots) if you took a picture of your sim in CAS. You can open the picture in Paint. :) Its just a thoughtful advice. Starmoonie 20:43, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

It's no problem and thanks Star. I can see If I can upload one of these on to my fanon page.

Thanks again

Speaking of the .NET 3.5 Framework, all you need to do is to get it: it should be easily accessible, just google it. As Starmoonie had mentioned (and probably made what I mentioned unclearly clear) you could use the screenshot folder, but s3pe is the way to get the headshot picture. With the library folder, what it stores is the saved custom family (in the bin) and the custom lots that you've bothered to save to the library for use.

Thanks I'll look for it but I still can't edit Meredith's chacrter box properly. Whenecer I go into Edit mode all there is a green puzzle piece and when i click a botton that says "edit" there very little it actually lets my edit. I can't add her children. Sorry for all the difficulties, wikia is confusing to me. xp
