However, if you make a full backup of your save-game folder, you can try yourself (using the current SimPE or even an older version) if this plugin still works for you.

EDIT:
You could try using old SimPE v.0.66, downloadable from this page, that still contains the binning tool.
But again I advice you to make a full backup of your "Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2" folder!


Thank you Numenor this is very helpful!

This is a very awesome download, but how do you do this on a Macintosh computer? You just show how to do it on a PC. When I downloaded SimPE, my computer was unable to compress it. Macintoshes don't have that "C://Documents/Package..." thing that PCs have. Also, when I attempted to download that SimPE file, there was no SimPE folder. I'd like to know how to bin because, even though most creators bin their creations on their own, this one creator, whose hair styles, I adore does not, and I'd like to have her hairs binned properly instead of simply staying in the "Custom Content" bin.

This tool is outdated and may not work correctly with the current SimPE version. Read more about this in my previous post #171.

I've finally started my Journal. Information only, no questions.

Hi there Theo,

Quick question abt what you said there - How would I go about doing that recategorising ? I was in your backyard and I ended up having a go at the Body Hair Overlays that you put up. But that was all peaches and cream 'coz there is a button in options for body overlays....
Can you help clarify my n00by-confusion?

And just a thought... If (theoretically, my case) one could re-categorise facial hair, I could you end up being literate enough to re-categorise clothing, right?? Coz that' SUPER exciting for me

Thanks for your patience!

Thank you so much for creating this plugin! I've been using it all day to correct my custom content, and I have not come across any errors. It works perfectly. I loaded Body Shop, and my custom hairs are now listed under their correct colors. You are a lifesaver!

What are the odds of getting a free-standing version so I don't have to hose up my computer with SimPE?

Requests? Yes! See my journal entry for palette options! Shameless plugging of my Sim sites: (TS2) · TS4

I'm having a minor problem.
Every time I save the hair, the file is a disabled package.

Note to Vista users--I could not extract it directly to the Plugins folder, as I didn't have "permission." So what I did...I extracted it to another folder, and did a click-and-drag into the appropriate folder, and I have to give "administrator" permission. Probably my security settings there...I have Home Basic.

I'm going to give this a try.

Type in google: SimPE and it should come up then you go and download it. Also, you know how Numenor keeps talking abut 'SimPE'? That's because he is or is one of the creators of it Hope this gives you an Idea.

Thanks again for the upload! _

I hope someone has something like this for later versions of simpe, I really don't want to have to install all my animation plugins etc all over again on an older version of Simpe, is there an updated version of how to link skintones to bodyshape packages without this tool?
