Where can I find this sim in the game files? What is the name of the game file? [[User:Prah|Prah]] 17:26, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
:I'm not sure, but it's said that it can only be found in the game strings, and the idea was scrapped before the release of the game. I myself have never heard of him other than this, so I still doubt its existence.

Thanks :)
:You can find the images by opening the '''objects.package''' in your game files by using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]]. However, this is not recommended. I don't know where the dialog strings from, though.

I believe that the provided portrait image is incorrect. The image is indeed assigned to the Boss, but is not displayed while playing. The portrait is regenerated and depicts a casually dressed person in a random outfit.
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
Ok, I went into SimPE and found his phone call. I then made it a buyable object so when you place it on a lot, it makes the phone ring. After that, I answer it, and that dialog pops up. It then freezes for a moment and then generates an NPC. I can't get it to go any farther, though. I just need to figure out how to activate his scenario and he should work properly.[[User:Frogz2007|Frogz2007]] ([[User talk:Frogz2007|talk]]) 12:21, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
:That's interesting. What NPC was generated? How did the NPC look? What did he/she do?

It actually looked like a townie as the game generated it. I also realized when SimPE is generating Sims for Sim Surgery, it shows the name "Big Boss" for a brief second. I'm working hard on getting him working. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Frogz2007|Frogz2007]] ([[User talk:Frogz2007|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Frogz2007|contribs]]) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></small>
Frog, discussions ends [http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=513237&c=1&ht=&page=3&pp=25#startcomments here]. Since the Big Boss is located in the objects.package, there's no way the mod should ever be released to the public because the objects.package file, once modified wrongly, will cause game corruption. There are many other files in that location (We refer to it as the C:\Program Files\ location, where the files that form the core of the game are stored) that are untouchable. Only a few files in that location can be modified if you are 100% sure of what you're doing.
We greatly appreciate your persistence and your efforts in getting the Big Boss to work, but unfortunately it's too dangerous, and you didn't even label the mod as "In its alpha stages. MAY CORRUPT YOUR GAME!" Because it will, trust me.

Believe it or not, some guy named Chris Hatch finished it and I can now play it. Download the mini EP called Angel and Nurses stuff and his scenario, along with all the others, work perfect.[[User:Frogz2007|Frogz2007]] ([[User talk:Frogz2007|talk]]) 23:12, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
:Frog, did you not read what I said above? This is too dangerous for public use, and you still didn't at least put a warning label on it. You remind me a lot of EAxis, who developed The Sims 2, releasing expansions and stuff packs filled with bugs. Just... don't do that.

I recently recieved a notification from Chris Hatch, the guy who got the big boss working, and he confirmed that purple faced person is NOT indeed the Big Boss. It is just some typical junk EA left over. But the game DOES in fact use it for NPC's who get generated. This can be proven by checking any Headmaster and you will see his elder picture. So somebody should remove the purple faced picture, along with the thumbnail since it isn't him.[[User:Frogz2007|Frogz2007]] ([[User talk:Frogz2007|talk]]) 17:28, January 18, 2014 (UTC)
:Well, no one ever proved it was the Big Boss' headshot in the first place. It was a common sense; the Big Boss is a removed NPC, and the headshot is an unused, yet unfinished picture found in the game, so generally people would think it's his headshot. That is, until someone could actually prove it was wrong, like what you stated just now. Someone, of course, must know better than anyone else, so perhaps your information is legitimate. I'm not sure how the proof is relevant though. What does the headmaster have to do with the purple-faced thumbnail?

::Oh wait, I think I missed the point. Did you mean the headshot could belong to anyone?

::I meant that it isn't specifically designated to his NPC, but is just used as a filler.[[User:Frogz2007|Frogz2007]] ([[User talk:Frogz2007|talk]]) 18:55, January 18, 2014 (UTC)

:::I'm not even in the mood to edit war with you. [http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=518950 This thread] you created was locked as it lacked any documentation whatsoever. I haven't downloaded it yet to look into it, but I would like you to add (if you haven't already) a documentation with the following:
***How to make the core game files read-only
***Installation instructions
***'''Safe''' uninstallation instruction
***And a stronger disclaimer than the one you have
:::It's also recommended that you get the mod checked by a mod expert (such as Mootilda) to verify that it's 100%, as I still have doubts over it. '''[[:User:K6ka|K6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contrib]]) 12:46, January 23, 2014 (UTC)
