Hi WillaBurrel, and anyone else still reading this thread,
Sorry about reviving an old thread, but I think this might be useful as it's the only guide I've seen that tells you how to make your own default replacement pollination technician. On page 4 of this thread, TurboJAzn posted a step-by-step guide for replacing your PT, but the problem is that the new
SimPE is a little bit different from the one used in the guide. I thought I would edit the steps, to make it a little easier:
1. Go into Create-A-Sim debug mode. If you don't know how, go here:
http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Testingcheatsenabled
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 the Resource Tree, select Facial Structure. Under the Resource List, right-click on the Facial Structure file and extract it somewhere where you can easily find it.
6. Under the Resource Tree, select jpg/tga/png Image. Under the Resource List, 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. Right-click in the space underneath the Resource List and select 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 the Resource List. Select one of them. Along the bottom edge of SimPE, select the "Resource" tab. In the Group box, change the ID to 0x7F45284D which is the Group ID for Pollination Technician. Click on "force commit", then repeat this for all three files in the Resource List.
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.
I hope I helped anyone trying to figure this out
