Creation tips request: making twins

[V2050 31]

Hi all!

My request is a little different from the ones usually posted here. I'm on a quest to find a good procedure (if not the best one) for making character twins.

My first character was a Criminal and even today I am not as satisfied with other characters I make as I am with that one. So, since I always wanted to play Enforcer with it but couldn't do it for obvious reasons, I decided to try and "clone" it. The result, which took 50+ screenshots of the editor with the character in the background to help "measure" the sliders' positions, is that now I have two identical characters.

However, no matter how accurate I am, there will likely be a small margin of difference. This is especially true when the Attributes are edited, where the sliders all go their own way while you're modifying one.
Also, I think I once stumbled across a gamefile containing numerical values which indicate exactly how the sliders are positioned. But I never touched them because I didn't want to screw something up.

So, I'm looking for a less "crude" way to be able to make clones. This would also help me backup my character customisation in case something horrible happens and I need to create them again.

Any help is super appreciated!

The way that I copy my characters exactly one to one is take a picture of every single slider. Then use a program to have those pictures displayed on top of the screen at 50% opacity so you can line up everything perfectly.

Sounds exactly like what I do, except the part with the program! Which one is that, if I may ask? Edited August 20, 2018 by Solista2050

I can't remember the one I used off the top of my head and I am not at home, sorry. There are quite a few though that are easily found on google.
