So far I haven't seen a Maxis version of these things (the copies) so I am
assuming they aren't. I am not 100% sure if they were zips or
self-installing files. I have an option to delete these copies, but I just
don't want to stuff things up.
Say I have a pair of black jeans in an adult sim, if I were to delete these
would it stuff the game up? I'll try and explain what I mean but I may not
be able to make much sense here:
If you click on a toddler and set their clothes and face etc etc, then you
go back and click onto a child, it just takes your preferences and makes
them into a child, am I right there? If so, does deleting a set of clothes
in one age group affect the rest of that Sims life? (sorry I am not good at
explaining this).
Thanks,
Beck.
