Possible to reset the skills of all sims in town?

[Jobbie]

Hi folks,

I recently upgraded my computer and imported my Sims 3 neighbourhoods from my previous install. However, I didn't save the Sims that were actively being played separately, only the neighbourhood.

No big deal I thought, as the Sims 3 allows you to save families to the family bin. So I basically went around the neighbourhood saving Sims that I would want to use in other towns/games.

Upon starting a new game however, the stats of the Sims I had saved to the bin are of those from the original game they were played in. I.E. They have 9 for guitar skill, 6 for cooking etc.

Is there a way to use these Sims but have their stats reset to zero? Either in a completely new town, or have them reset in their original town?

NRaas master controller doesn't seem to have an option for this. The town reset seems to reset everything but stats.

The game plays fine otherwise.

I have the Sims 3 and all of the expansions / stuff packs.

Thanks for the help.

With Master controller you can reset their skills to whatever level you want. It's under advanced>skill level.

Welcome, Jobbie!

Another option would be to start a brand new town and save the townie Sims to your library.  They would have their original skill levels that way.

Hi folks, thanks for the kind welcome. 

MoMoll - with master controller it seems that I have to take control of each individual sim to perform that option. Am I missing something when I click on the Town Hall?

Pam - Yeah that is what I tried. I started a completely new town, but the Sims I have saved to the "Bin" or whatever it is called retained their skills unfortunately.

If it wasn't for the fact that my girlfriend spent a long time making each Sim I would suggest she just remake them so they can be part of the "stock" families you can choose. (And start with their skills reset in new towns).

I fear I may be up the creek without a paddle here.  As MoMoll suggests I could go and manually reset each Sim, but I would have to do that in every new town started.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a third party editor that would allow me to edit my "saved sims"?

Thank you for your time.

Your right, it's for each sim individually. I thought you only wanted to do some of your saved sims and not the whole town. you must have a lot in your bin.
