SimPE 0.73.44 QA for everyone
April 11th, 2009

This QA has been stable for a long period, and I think it is safe to offer it generally. It�s a 7Z and will require manually unarchiving into its own folder and running from SimPE.exe (or you make your own shortcut). Remember to change what runs (your file association) when you double-click on a .package file. If you don�t know how to do that, then start SimPE before using File/Open to open your packages.

Link to download:
http://sourceforge.net/project/down...e_0_73_44-QA.7z

Because this version does not have an installer, you'll want these instructions:

Needed Software to run SimPE:

* Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0
* Managed Direct X 9c (only if you want to work with Meshes)

Any alternatives? I know it is possible to run it on this sort of laptop, because I (thought) I seen it dome before. Please help. I really want to start editing furniture and stuff!

I've installed it in my Program Files (x86) as per the SimPE site, I run it as an administrator, I've tried it on Windows XP Pack 3, I've tried everything I can think of. Any ideas/suggestions?

Unzip into a folder in your documents, or location of your choice) and try that. SimPE does indeed run fine on W7.

I got the non-installation one (the second one on the list, here: "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/simpe/SimPe_0_72_01.7z This is the one you have to unzip yourself and put it where you want."), created a new folder in my Documents section, unzipped it into the folder, and got the same thing. It said there was a new version of Sims 2, then the "Stopped Working" thing came up. I tried .073 I tried running it as an administrator. I tried running it compatible with XP Service Pack 2 and 3. Same thing. I tried Wizard of Sims, and it immediately closed, saying: "font Verdana does not support Bold." Oh well. Thanks for your help, though.
