A summary of the [http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/story_detail.php?asset_id=166669&asset_type=story&user_id=7639346 illustrated tutorial] by [http://thesims2.ea.com/mysimpage/uploads.php?user_id=1627419&asset_type=story Celesta92059] .
First, create or download a clone of the Sim you want to resurrect. If the downloaded clone is a .package file, place it in the SavedSims folder, and it will appear in Create a Sim. Otherwise, if it is a .sims2pack file, install it. Go to [[Create a Sim#Step 1: Name, Age, Gender, Skin Tone, Fitness|CAS]], select the Sim Bin, and select the clone. Give the clone a name, then proceed to [[Create a Sim#Step 6: Personality & Aspiration|Step 6]] and, if necessary, select the clone's zodiac sign, personality, aspiration, and chemistry. Save the created Sim, then exit the game.
# Open the clone in [[SimPE]] and open the Character File.▼
Now, open [[SimPE]] and follow these steps:
# Reload the neighborhood and open the real Sim you want to resurrect.▼
# Open the neighborhood, and find the clone in the Sim Browser.
# In the Plugin View, click the "More" tab, then select Open Character File.
# Click in the Resource List, and press Ctrl-A to select all resources.
# Go to the menu and select "Extract . . .". You will see a "Browse for Folder" dialog. Browse to the desktop, click "Make New Folder", and save the files to that folder.
# Remove 7 files from the replica's extracted data folder: Catalog Description, Directory of Compressed files, jpgtgapng image, Object Data, Object Functions, Version Information, and package.▼
▲#
# If the Sim's picture has a blue background, you will need to relink that Sim. Click the "Other" tab. In the "Misc" box, one of the fields will say "Unlinked: 0x0001". Change the 1 at the end to a 0 (zero).
# Click the "Commit" button, then save. The Sim's picture in the "Overview" tab should now have a red background, meaning that his or her character data is incomplete..
▲#
# Maximize SimPE.
# Select the "Add . . ." option. You will need to browse to the folder which has the data that was extracted from the clone. The extracted data will be in subfolders. You will have to add the data from '''each''' subfolder, but will only be able to do one at a time.
# Enter the first subfolder, select all the files in it, and click "Open". This will close the browse dialog, so select "Add . . ." again, enter the next subfolder, select all the files in it, and click "Open". Repeat this until you are sure you have added the data from '''all''' of the subfolders.
# In the "Resource Tree" window, select Object Data (OBJD). Highlight the file that appears in the Resource List window. The Object Data will appear in the Plugin View window.
# In the Plugin View, look for a dropdown labeled "Obj. Type". One of the options in that dropdpwn will be "Person". Select "Person", then find and click the Commit button.
# In the Plugin View window change the Obj.Type to Person.
# Save. Wait for all the resource names in italics to change to regular type.
