I am assuming that anyone using this utilty has a working knowledge of XML and a way of processing it into a format suitable for their purpose - XSLT, JDOM, LINQ, etcĭata from the following DBPF resources are exported To generate the XML and image files, click the "EXPORT" button (or type "Alt+E"). This cannot be the 'hood folder or a sub-folder. If this 'hood has been exported recently, it can quickly be re-opened from the "File", "Recent Neighbourhoods" sub-menu.įrom the File menu, select "Save Path." (or type "Ctrl+S") and browse to find the required sub-directory to export the xml and images to. To export a 'hood, from the File menu, select "Neighbourhood Path." (or type "Ctrl+N") and browse to find the required package file. From the "File" menu, select "Configuration." and either enter or browse to the install location (where the CSBin, TSBin and TSData sub-directories are located) - for UC this will end "Fun with Pets\SP9" package files as XML and JPG/PNG images.īefore using Hood Exporter it is necessary to tell it where to find the objects.package file for the latest expansion you have installed. I have no idea how some Sims in a household could be affected and not others (and be the ones I didn't check), but whole households I definitely checked had their inventories switched up.The Hood Exporter is an application to extract lot, family and sim data from the neighbourhood. I rotate every household in Sunset Valley, so the loading a fresh game and immediately reloading after resetting might not be necessary if you only want to protect a handful of households, but it's probably better to be safe than sorry. Once you've done all that, it is time to "Reset Everything." You definitely want to save immediately after, and then you'll just want to quit the game and reload it because I immediately got "Error 12" after playing for a little bit. I purposely skipped a few Sims and while their housemates didn't lose their inventories, those Sims did. The solution is to load the game fresh, look at the inventories of all the Sims in your current household, and then "Switch Households" (use the button in the UI, not the "Household Information" pop-up my game crashed while using that one, although it could just be happenstance, I didn't test too many times because it's time consuming) and switch to all the households whose inventories you want to protect. I tested this and it appears that if this matters to you, "Reset Everything" has to be a planned event. I noticed that the Sims in households I had recently played were not losing their personal inventories into the family Inventory.


I think I have a solution for the issue, though. I tested this inventory issue, and it is definitely caused by the "Reset Everything" command through MC.
