Actually it was one of those Pollinations that didnt work I've downloaded a different one and now I have cute babys that arnt butt ugly and I've checked out the family tree and ythe Pollination tech had been replaced which is good.

I'm getting to the point where I will simply have to beg someone to make the file for me to download...

thank you very much for the file,
it works fine for me^^

I do not have sufficient priveleges to post a tutorial in the Tutorials section of the forum, so I'll post a 10-step easy-to-follow (I hope) tutorial here:

You should have the latest version of SimPE installed from http://sims.ambertation.de. SimPE requires .NET 1.1 to work.

1. Go into Create-A-Sim debug mode. If you don't know how, go here:

http://72.9.230.162/wiki/TestingCheats

2. Create your alien using the alien genetics. Making a replacement PT with a different skin color like lavender would require changing the default alien skin which is beyond the scope of this tutorial.

3. Once created, enter a neighborhood and place the alien on a small empty lot. Exit the game.

4. Open the package file of your newly created alien. It is found in the Characters folder of your neighborhood and is named something like N00X_User00XXX.package. Sort by Date Modified to make it easier to find.

5. Under Filetypes, select Facial Structure. Under Packed Files, right-click on the Facial Structure file and Extract it somewhere where you can easily find it.

6. Under Filetypes, select jpg/tga/png Image. Under Packed Files, extract both the images to the same place where you can easily find them. You may then close out of the package file by closing SimPE.

7. Open SimPE, click on File--> New to create a new package file. You can leave it on Long Index and click OK. Click on File--> Add..., browse to where you extracted the files, and add the files ending in .xml. There should be three in total, two for the jpegs and one for Facial Structure.

8. You should now see the three files listed under Packed Files. Below that, make sure the tab is on Packed File. In the Group box, change the ID to 0x7F45284D which is the Group ID for Pollination Technician. Click on change all listed to the right of the box, then make sure the three files all have this Group ID.

9. Click on File--> Save, and name the package file whatever you want. Close SimPE because you are done.

10. Place the newly created package file into your Downloads folder, and Pollination Technician should now be replaced.

Thank you atlanteay and L-J for your beautiful new pollinations! No more stupid michael jackson noses, or wee little lips!! YES!

Oh my thats hard um I'll pass this.

Thanks for posting yours! I just recently got around to letting Don get abducted and he had adorable twins! they are both good looking teenagers now :jig:

You know, I saw this ages ago and I still haven't downloaded it. He's lookin' better though

Thanks for that tutorial TurboJAzn, it looks pretty straight forward. I'll try it and let you know how I fared

Thanks to everyone in this forum. This is the kind of community spirit that takes playing TS2 to a new level.

Just wanted to say Thanks for this .
Im posting a pick of a pre- mod born baby ( Pascals son) and his cusin, who is post mod ( Vidcund's son)
Too bad I Dled it too late to Save Pascals baby from the horror of the ugly genes..

Gallieleo Curious, Son of Pascal ( the one he came impregnated with ) He was kinda cute as a baby and still is somewhat.. but.. if only he had a nose.

Gallileo's Cousin/ half brother ( technically? ), Nova. He was born after Vidcund got abducted.

Thank you for the much more attractive polinators or Id be over run with ugly green invasion of Curious children . :Pimp:

I am FRENCH and i use alittle english for you understand me (My English is not exelent...) How are you do for remplace the pollinisiation tech ?(In french)

i made a lavender skin for all you guys who wanted it... now you can use it for your pollination tech hope you like it!

hey i just realized something... it won't let me change my pollination tech because i can't even find it in SimPe! someone help me please?

thanks for those wonderful aliens. :-)
and also thanks for the toturial. i'm gonna give it a try.

and no thanks for the purple skin? lol j/k.

Will this mod work with university

Umm I dunno?

The problem is we haven't found out how to change the PT's genetics, only his facial structure, so we can't really use the lavender skin. I've asked here, but no one has replied on how to do it.

Is there a way to do this without using SimPE? SimPE doesn't work on 64 bit windows >.<

Thanks a bunch for this! ^^

Ok I may sound like a dummy by asking this but anyway... is this EP compatible? I'm getting it soon so it has been a "cleanup" time for my pc... And I have one off the PTs here (thank you btw; I was sick of those babys that look like thay have been hit by a bus) and just to be safe are they? Thank you in advance.

looks like we'll soon be able to use whatever skins we want for default skins, with just a click of a button!

:jig:


RMarques, I have one of these wonderful files in and haven't had any problems with Uni but I haven't let any men get abducted again yet...
but once I can change the default skin to one in a color I want (I hate that shade of green Maxis used) then my males will have to watch out!

I really don't think there will be any problem with these files

I'm not a pessimist, so I always find the solution for my problems. But have something to report. I replaced the PT by your PT and Pascal Curious had a beautiful alien daughter. The second Sim that gave birth an alien got a horrible deformed child (long lashes covering the eyes, vampire lips, low nose, round face, etc).
I would like just to warn people that the genetic mixing in TS2 is far from ideal. To get nice babies is enough to combine parents that have the NOSE in the same exact place. The nose is the biggest cause for little monsters.
I use to care a lot for face simetry when I create my Sims. The original models have the eyes too far from the center (almost close to the ears) and too much up.
To calculate a face you should use your hands as measure. A normal relaxed hand placed over the nose, should cover the whole face. Well, this is what I take as proportions.

I wish they had 8 or so different aliens that where involved in ummm, probing the abducted men. Would be interesting to have a bigger gene pool of aliens doing the probing.
