Oh gosh @ChrisHatch so so sorry to hear about your wife. Glad to see you back though.

Does anyone have downloaded version 0.77.69.9 and would like to share it? I have been trying to download this version for a week because Sim File Share doesn't work, the download speed is 10 KB/s and stops after a while.

@Lenna9 Are you still having trouble? It downloads okay and nice and fast for me today:

Do any of the newer versions of SimPE allow for larger neighbourhood files to be saved? Since the version I'm currently using – 0.73.44.37603 – is no longer able to edit a specific save, because it has exceeded the maximum file size that SimPE has been configured to save.

I also need for SimPE to be able to read larger want and fear histories. Because I was forced to recreate one of the Sims that was born in-game. But because I didn't know about the want and fear histories, the want and fear histories of their parents still point to the original. So their parents aren't rolling wants or fears related to the recreation.

I need to be able to edit the references if I'm going to be able to get their parents to start rolling wants and fears related to them.

Have you "4Gb'd" the SimPE exe? (You should also apply the 4Gb patch to Bodyshop and Homecrafter.)

I finally managed to download, but the download speed was still below 20 KB/s. I know it's not my internet's fault because on every other site I have a download speed of 2 MB/s.

How? If that increases the neighbourhood file size limit that SimPE has been configured to allow, that would be a godsend. And if it will allow SimPE to be able to read larger want and fear histories. Since I need to update all the references pointing to one of the children that my CAS Sims had and point them to the recreation.

"How?" Do you mean you need help running the 4Gb patch - or are you being rhetorical?
...Out of Memory Exceptions are quite often fixed by enabling the exe to use 4Gbs.
That is all I'm suggesting. Good luck!

I'm saying I don't understand what I have to do to stop SimPE from running out of memory. Which is what has been happening to my Desiderata Valley save on another PC.

OK. Download the 4Gb Patch from NTCore, and when you run it - point it to the SimPE exe.

Let us know if that works. Good luck!

Would this be where we would post errors for the programs that are downloaded with SimPE? Like HoodChecker, HoodReplacer, etc.

Where exactly would the SimPE exe be located?

I would make a fresh thread for your issue here:
https://modthesims.info/forumdisplay.php?f=4
As the creator of those mods is no longer active.


Wherever you installed it to.
[install Location]\SimPE\SimPe.exe

Which one?

The top one, that says SimPE- type application. (Your computer has the file extensions hidden for known file types, which is why the .exe bit doesn't show up. If you google this you should be able to find a guide on how to enable the file extensions for your OS, so that it's easier in future.)

Hello, @ChrisHatch! I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. We live now in very difficult times.

There is currently a war in our country, but we managed to gather a team of enthusiastic translators, and we are translating the Sims 2 into Ukrainian. SimPE helps us a lot in this.

I didn't know that this program is still supported, so sorry if my question is inappropriate. I work with translators from different parts of my country and with different levels of computer knowledge. Therefore, it was decided that I will export each file via the Export button to a text file, and then I insert these files into a Google spreadsheet in which we all work together. This allows translators to translate at any convenient moment, without the need to open and understand the technical issue of localization.

However, I have a problem. In some files, the number of text files reaches several thousand. And it slows down the work a lot if you export them manually one by one. I have not found another way to convert string files into text files. Please tell me if it is possible to export all these files with one button? If you can do that, you'll make our job a LOT easier! Please!

Yes, I can do that.
at http://simfileshare.net/folder/77372/ there is two versions of a plugin tool, languagExtractor.plugin.zip is for SimPE versions of 0.75.69.36 or higher, OldLanguagExtractor.plugin.zip is for SimPE versions before that.
Just place the extracted file in SimPe's Plugins Folder and, if you have the right version SimPE should load it.

I wish that a batch "uncompressor" existed. The opposite of what "the compressorizer" does. Sometimes I want to search across all BHAV of the objects.package to find a particular call or a GUID. I did that after extracting all files, which nearly brought my file system to its knees (85 thousand files), and I had to do it in packets of a few thousand or the process would hang. I decided I didn't need these files anymore, and now need to repeat the process if I want to search again. The gain from compressing these small files is not as great as with ttabs or blank textures. The resource names would probably load much faster.

I discovered why I couldn't collapse the small panel to the right (resource actions, filter resources). I had ticked the box "Lock docks" in Preferences, which didn't fully lock them, but removed the "pin" button.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Chris. Thank you for all your work here.

I downloaded the last version available here. It includes a 6 meg GDF.dll plugin for Windows Vista, which is adult content with cartoons of exposed girls and sound files of moaning women who say the f-word. If this Windows plugin is deleted, SimPE doesn't start. lol

Thank you so much Chris! Now we will be able to speed up our translation activities, and it's all thanks to you. Thank you!!! <3

Chris has been updating SimPE specifically to work with their expansion packs (T&A and A&N), so those bits are designed for that. If you ask nicely, they are sometimes kind enough to release a version with the updated features but minus the adult content. I linked some of the PG versions here:

Hello, here to also express interest in a SFW version of 77.69 - it is the only version that I can get to properly work for whatever reason. I can deal with the UI images but the explicit moaning is not really my favorite thing (and it scares the crap out of me when I accidentally trigger it lol). Very grateful to Chris Hatch for making that version in the first place since the older versions don't work for me, but if someone knows how to disable the sounds in particular that would be amazing. I like to work on Sims stuff on planes and it's very awkward if I happen to open the UI and I'm paranoid I'll forget to turn the speakers off.

It has sounds?!

I run 0.77.69.9 since it was released... I never heard a sound of any sort in SimPE. What triggers those?

I also am, for some reason, missing the lady in the settings menu.
