Hi ya All,

I was asked to make a tutorial about how to change your default Sim pictures in CAS / Sim Bin.
(Some people noticed this when I posted some screenshots, relating to my problems with Gwyneth).

First you need to download a program and install it on your computer.
This program is called "Postal", you can look into & edit single package files with this (and also Sim-files, I found out).
You can download Postal here: Download link

After download and install, go to the: My documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saved Sims - directory and open the file you want the picture changed in CAS.
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 01+Start

Right click on the file and select "Open with"
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 02+Open+With

Look up the postal program on your computer and make it the default program to open Sim-files with (so you can double click on a Sim-file to open it in the future; do to this exercise)
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 03+Select+Postal

And click OK
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 04+OK+and+Open

And the Sim-file will open
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 05+Sim+File+Opened

Select PNG, like in the picture below
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 06+Select-+PNG

And you will see the default CAS picture of the Sim.
Now select Import PNG
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 07+Import-PNG

And select a picture on your computer (PNG-file with size 512*512 pixels), to change the default picture
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 08+Select+Picture

Select the picture and it will be imported in the Sim-file.
THAN CLICK COMMIT (IMPORTANT !!)
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 09+Commit

Than to the same for the 2nd PNG in the Sim-File
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 10+Select-PNG+2nd+Time

Than click Save as
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 11+Save+As

Select "All Files" in the list, otherwise the Sim-files will not be visable
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 12+Select+All+Files

Go to the Saved Sims directory again and select the Sim-file you wanted to change
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 13+Select+and+Save+Sim+File

And overwrite the file "OK"
How to change pictures in CAS / Sim Bin - Tutorial 14+Overwrite+Sim+File

And the next time you open CAS, the default picture will be changed.

*** For this to work, you have to close down the Sims 3 Game first !!! After you have changed the pictures, you can start up the game again ***

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me !!

Thanks CeCe, was hesitating where to post it; thought you mentioned the Tech section.
But under Tutorial is fine although it's in Evie's Creative Corner....
If Evie is OK with it, it's fine by me.

Good question Sleepy ! ;)
This should also work for make up in (package format of course), but the picture - thumbs should have to be smaller than the 512 * 512 used for the sim CAS pics.

hey Eva
So I tried this for fun and it works but now i have a problem:
Usually if you unistall a normal progam ,like S3pe for example, package files go back to normal.
Postal doesn't seem able to manually unistall. I tried deleting the program files of the postal program but it didn't work. And I want to compress any files related the sims 3 tor a .rar file but I can't l because it doesn't regonize it.

How do I reverse making postal the default program to open Sim-files with ?

Also How do you uninstall Postal?I doesn't show up on my programs list to uninstall

otherwise this seems permanent and i want things to go back to the way they were before Please help help


edit :never mind, I deleted the program files of Postal and rebooted my computer. Then the problem was solved

Postal is a "standalone" program, so you can't really "uninstall" it. Just remove the Postal folder would do the trick, yes Smile
If you don't want postal to be your default program to open your packages, "right click" on a package file and select "open with" and look up the program you want to use for opening it with (like S3PE or so). The open with routine is also described in the first part of this tutorial (with pics).
Deleting the Postal program from your hard drive and rebooting will have the same effect in this case, but with the "open with" routine you could have switched to S3PE for opening packages right away (and can still have Postal on your computer) ;)
