This is so Irritating. When I start the program up, I get an error.

"Application has generated and exception that could not be handled.

Process id=0xaf8 (2808), Thread id=0xafc (2812)

Click OK to termiate the application.
Click Cancel to debug the application.

[OK] [Cancel]
-------------------------
What do I do?

Does it give any other error code?

Have you got the microsoft .net runtime installed.

And also what country are you from, if from continental europe then it could be that your computer is set to use "," as a decimal symbol instead of "." (as the program expects). To check this, goto the control panel and open the Regional and language options. Then click on the customize button (in the window which should have opened), then another window will open and in that there will be a entry called "Decimal Symbol" and in the text box will either be a "," or a "."

If it is a "," change it to a "." and click okay and okay again. Then the program should work (remember to change it back to the "," after you have finished with the program else it could effect some of your other programs.)

This is a bug that I never got around to fixing.

Okay, I use 3DSM 8, but the HL2 SMD importer doesn't work for version 8, I think. If someone could confirm this, or explain how to get the plug-in to work in version 8, it would be greatly appreciated!

how I can edit Animation

Im not sure how to download it? I dwnload the first then how do i download the update?Im trying to make animations for a new bathtub

I've downloaded the animation editor 3d and 2d. I can open the 2d but not the 3d. I also searched through the threads to see if ii could work it out.


The animation editor shows this:

The XML config file in your post shows the same directory name as quoted above for the "folder".
Were I having a similar problem, I would look and see of I had such a directory, or if that is a misspelling of some other directory.
Then I would either create a directory with that name or fix the config file to contain the right name and try again.

Thanks,
Okay, I got it I think.Here are my changes and log.So you can see what I did. Am I missing anything?

When I open the program I get the program display plus another box that is separate called. Axiom. Scene Managers. Octree. TerrainScene manager.(Which is completely black, except for the title in white letters). Is that suppose to happen?

I don't wanna revive a thread but I was looking for some help with editing the animation on a custom object. I see the list of ANIM resources in SimPE, but when I extract those files, I just get an XML file and a .5an or .5gd file. And none of the programs out there (Milkshape, Miche's convertor, etc) are of use with those files. Any tips?

I am new to animation, but an error message keeps appearing. It appears right after I have completed everything in SimPE, and pops up when I go to "Extra" and "Run Sims 2".

I ignored it the first time, and the animation box ended up not showing in the Sims 2. I read somewhere online that the cause could be from CEP not installing correctly. I installed it again, and the message still showed up.

I noticed at the very beginning fo creating my posebox, the "Paul's Reaction Test Object" doesn't actually show a picture of the box, but an "x" instead.





Sorry if this isn't posted in the correct place, and thanks for any help. I've been ripping my hair out about this for hours on end.

EDIT: Also, I just noticed In-Game that some objects are "blinking" blue. I'm assuming that something is wrong with CEP? I had it installed in my game before, and it worked fine. I ended up uninstalling all fo ym sims games, and installed them back a couple of weeks ago. Any idea why CEP would have worked every other time except for this time? Thanks.
