SimPE 0.8.3.1 for Windows, Mac, and Linux

This is SimPE modernized, a 64 bit app running on .Net 8. The dependence on NVidia DDS utilities has been eliminated. The dependence on DirectX has been eliminated. It no longer relies on the Windows Registry for locating the game, but does a system scan. There are bugs, but the ones I know about are also in Quaxi's 0.75 version. To the best of my knowledge, everything works. I have tried to keep the original look, so that the existing tutorials will still work to help people. Please notify me of any bugs you find. If you have downloaded a previous version, please delete the old version and empty your trash before extracting the new version.

0.8.2.10 WHoward69 of Pick 'N' Mix graciously added his 29 BHAV Primitive Wizards! GMDC exporter dll in the correct location. SC4 filetype supported. Text clipping in BHAV TRPR view fixed.

0.8.2.12 Yes, I skipped 11, to maintain parity with the Mac version. All the commit buttons are now there. A future fix will standardize as many as I can remember to the Header, but for now they may be in a different location. Sim Surgery export is fixed. Both issues were due to the migration to .Net 8 dropping references from the resource files.

0.8.2.13 XML editor commit button moved onto header, anchored right
OBJD/SRel/Family Ties commit buttons moved onto headers, anchored right
xreg self-heal on corrupt/empty files (no more permanent unstartable state)

0.8.2.14 FAMI/SRel/OBJD commit handlers no longer crash on empty/non-numeric textboxes
ResourceDock & ExtObjdForm fields now turn red when input doesn't parse, instead of silently doing nothing

0.8.3 Theo's Alternative Sim Surgery — Neighbourhood → Theo's Alt Sim Surgery. Lets you pick a sim template .package from the filesystem as the Archetype instead of needing to create an in-game sim first.
Theo's Color Binning Tool — Tools → Object Creation → Theo's Color Binning Tool. Hair-tone/skintone genetic binning workflow.
FAMH (Family History) wrapper — Family-snapshot resource type now appears in the Resource Tree under "Family History (FAMH)" when a played-past-midnight neighborhood is loaded.
SDesc Overview tab additions:

NPC Type dropdown — friendly service-type names (e.g. "Chinese Food Delivery", "Burglar") below Species, stays in sync with the raw hex in the Other tab.
Household name shown parenthetically next to Family Instance — useful for split households (roommates sharing a household but not a surname).
Fixes:

Tools toolbar buttons restored — empty VisibleToolbarButtons registry value was hiding every action/tool button, and a stray "skip icon-less items" filter was dropping text-only tools. Both gone.
Plugin-load failures now surface in pluginlog.txt — previously every ReflectionTypeLoadException was silently swallowed.
Plugin transitive dependencies mirrored into Plugins\ — fixes silent loader gap that prevented simpe.ngbh.scanner.plugin.dll from loading.
BaseGame no longer silently dropped from PackInstallFolders — affected any install where the base game lives in a folder named "Base" (UC layouts, Magipack).
FAMH "Family Unknown" → "Family History" in the type-name registry.

0.8.3.1 Fixed the location of the zCEP folder to not be in Downloads (again).
Fixed the failure of the PJSE Body mesh Extraction tool to actually extract anything.
Added JFade's Collection Creator as a plugin. Includes the manual!

There is now a Mac version, which is the Windows version in a Wine wrapper, patched to Mac file paths and to fix Wine oddities. It is click and run, no messing around with Wine configuration! It is too large be hosted on MTS, 1.5 gig, but you can download the .dmg file: https://github.com/rhiamom/SimPE-Mac-Wine/releases

And a Linux version, too. It is the Windows version patched for Wine oddities, no wrapper, because Linux simmers need to put it in the same bottle/prefix as the sims 2 game. Download below, or at https://github.com/rhiamom/SimPE-Fixed-Linux/releases

I am looking for somebody to help with maintenance of this app. People, I am 73 years old. I need to hand this off to somebody younger. Link to public Github source code: https://github.com/rhiamom
