Complete Fixing Windows

**leefish** · 11-11-2010

Well ,what a horror this is turning out to be - I made these windows in TSRW (don't judge, mkay?) but no longer have the project files as they were on my stolen laptop.............

Anyhoo, I have a dilemma....

If I make them in TSRW then they will be full replacements, with new IDs etc and so won't auto-replace any windows that are already in game. Which is a drag if you have them in a lot of lots.......

Alternatively, I can open up the packages in S3PE - but - in order to fix them correctly I will have to remap them all.....(um, no. Not gonna do that.)

So. I ran crying to Inge and she gave me some ideas on how to fix - if it works I will publish the method here.

Well, I did some testing today - and it all worked. So happy day - I now have no excuse not to fix these.....I will do some other small fixes while I am at it.

How to fix:

If it's a simpack, run through Delphy's package extractor - make a package
Open new project in TSRW
Import from the package version of your file
Give it a name when it asks - does not matter what
Save as project
Go to tools-project contents
Select all in the list and delete
Still in project contents, hit import from package and import all resources from your original package file
Do all your fixes
Export to sims3pack format - give it the same name as the original
Extract using package extractor, give package same name as original
Done. Publish to your sharing site of choice.
