Well, those are "parts," not the facial geometries that I'm after when I download a Sim.

I'm kind of working on an installer for Sims2Skin files that will simply rip a file apart and leave all the bits in one folder with the original file names, not the stupid Maxis "alphabet soup" names, so you can pick through and install what you want. Yep, the original names are inside the files, just like a Sims2Pack, Maxis just chose to ignore them when they built the installer.

I tried a couple different strategies (Windows searches, debug filenames on, etc.) to find the odd named Sims, but no luck yet.

The one thing I haven't tried is the SimPE scanner...
