Default Old VW Bug
For my own personal use (not for uploading) I want to take the mesh from the VW bug (http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=400454) and change the stats, including price, to the stats of the sloppy jalopy or big lemon. I feel like this should be relatively simple, but I've never done any sims modding. Can anyone help guide me through this?

I opened it via Postal and was able to change the price but am confused about which lines change the cars stats (speed, buffs, etc)

Okay I lied, I tried to change it but can't figure out how to save the changes

Okay, forget that, I figured out how to use SimPE to edit price. Still not sure how to edit other factors. What are niceness and crap scores? It currently has a niceness of 1 and a crap of 0. Should I change this?

I haven't used Postal, but if you can't find an option that probably should be there, you can always try right-clicking.


Edit:

Try cloning the sloppy jalopy in s3oc. Then check the data it has. If you want to make your car equal to it, you can get an idea of what to change by simply matching its stats.

And don't forget to Commit before saving.

Do I need to change the name GUID so it doesn't overwrite the package that I'm copying it from?

That would probably be best, yes.

Well, I edited the things and committed and saved but it did not show up in game. Luckily my game did not explode either. But I'm pretty clueless as to what I actually did wrong.

Ended up just modifying and overwriting the other modders package. Could not get the new package to show up in game. If anyone can help with that I'd appreciate, but for now it's fine.
