Complete Fixing Windows

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.
