Tutorial - Changing the gender of an in-game sim.
This tutorial will show how to change the gender of an in-game sim. This tutorial will work on any sim aged from toddler to elder.
Programs/Tools required
To follow this tutorial you will need to have the following programs:
The Sims 2 + any EP’s/Stuff packs you have installed
SimPE (version 0.58 is used in this tutorial)
Body Shop
It is also a good idea to back up your neighbourhood folder before trying this.
The subject sim in this tutorial is Jodie Larson, she is the twin sister to Jason Larson, one of the families that comes with the Open for Business EP.
This tutorial has also been complied into a pdf file which is available below.

So you can color my world with sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can color my world with happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above
And if you color my world, just paint it with your love

4. When the Neighbourhood Browser window has opened. Select the neighbourhood that has the sim you want to do the make over on and then click on the Open button.
(in this case I’m using my test neighbourhood Sims Area 51)

11. When the Export CAS Sim window opens, it will show a filename that usually starts with a N followed by the neighbourhood number and a sim number. It is most important that you DO NOT use that filename to save the exported sim. I usually save them as their in-game name as shown in the pic below.
12. Once you have re-named the file, click on the Save button to save the file/sim in your SavedSims folder.
13. Now close the Sims Surgery window by clicking on the x in the top right corner.

14. The file of the sim chosen will now open in SimPE. In the Overview section of the sims file, change how the game will treat the sim (in case from female to male).
15. I also usually re-name the sim at this point.
16. Click on the Commit button to set the changes.

4. Once located and chosen, clone the selected sim.

5. Now change the gender of the sim by clicking on the required gender at the top left of the Bodyshop window.
Please note you can also use any sim of the required gender, but this way it does have some connection to the original sim you are changing.

9. Now start up the game, load up the neighbourhood you want to make the change in and go into CAS.
10. In CAS select the sim you just gave the gender change to. I also tend to give the sim the same first name and a slightly different surname as the sim I want to change.
11. In CAS it is not important what aspiration/star sign/likes/dislikes you give him/her as they won’t be changed, but the clothing selection is as it will be changed along with the sim. You can also do any final tweaking of the sim here.
