For all you simpe users out there.....

[Sleepycat]

SimPE reads all 4 of my neighborhoods (one with almost noone in it, pleasantvilleorviewwhichever with a few custom, a slightly more played one, and an older one I know is broke, with all the CAS made or ingame born characters as unknowns. I've reinstalled it twice and it's still doing it... I am using a (not the main) separate user account, and so have to find the folder for it, but when I do that it does understand the names of the neighborhoods... just not apparently the playable characters. I'm still figuring I broke simPE and not all 4 neighborhoods as otherwise most of them play fine. Or maybe I'm just not understanding how to do it right, but it still seems like it shouldn't all be full of unknowns.

hmmm you could try moving the "main account" my docs files out and placeing your non-main in, and then checking them with simpe, sounds like it is truly confused

Simmer down, Flowerchile, it was an unfortunate quoting error.  Pescado originally said it.

I'm simmed...I also FORGOT to put in a smiley face, sorry Tgdrysix, it was only meant lightheartedly.  As for ya dog, all animals have to go before their owners, it's a shitty fact of life but that's the downside of owning pets..

Repetition sucks don't it?  But I had to put that in again as I didn't see anything that  looked like an old quote in Tgdrysix's post. Have been looking for the last 20 minutes trying to see what I missed,  with glasses ON this time, I found it, but I don't normally read every post, just skim through so if it aint there in purple, I don't see it.  I'll look more carefully next time!

The Insimenator kills puppies, you sick bastard.

Pescado said that here.

Thanks Blue, I followed one link earlier but no JM. (Reply No. Oh well, no harm done, I'll learn how to read properly and Tgdrysix can learn to quote.

From what I've read Tgdrysix, you're more computer savvy than me!!   Half of the in depth computer shit that is discussed is way over my head.
Thanks Rainbow, I did find it,  I'm just glad it's all over now.  Can get back to normal.  Dare I say WOO HOO!!!

NOT....at least you have an avatar....I don't even know how to begin to have one show up!!! ...and don't feel bad about not knowing what others are talking about computer wise...alot of what they say goes right over my head and the rest just makes it spin...


And to bring things a bit back on  topic....anyone have trouble with Simpe not responding?
The couple times I used it after I shut the program down , doing anything else on my computer was very very slow to work....even getting online...so I shut down my pc (which I don't usually do, I leave it on pretty much all the time) and up popped the "program not responding" message and it was Simpe.  Now granted I'm just learning how to use this program and had a tutorital going at the same time and was doing alot of clicking back and forth but I didn't think that should cause an issue....I was switching between neighborhoods alot...this happened to me twice....I haven't
 run it since....could I have a bad Simpe install? The actual program seems to work okay...I did add that memory editing plugin but I don't think that's the issue cause this happen before and again after I did this...thanks, tgdrysix

I have had the same issues with Simpe. Two things appeared to fix, either it eventually shut completely down on its own, like an hour or so later, and the other was to fire up simpe again and not actually do anything but look at a file then close it down by closing the file and and and then choosing exit. I dont really know if that matters or not but has taken care of the problem when it decides to start lagging my machine.

Speaking of machine...I have parts to purchase woo!

I've had that problem before with a previous version of SimPE.  I haven't had it recently though.  Do you have the most recent version?  Sometimes I would have to "end process" on SimPE because it would still be running even though it appeared to be closed.  You can do this by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del (or right clicking the Taskbar and clicking Task Manager) and then clicking on the Processes tab.  It helps to click the Image Name column heading to sort alphabetically so you can find SimPE.exe.  Just select it, and then click End Task.  It will say, Are you sure, this can cause instability, blah blah.  Just click yes, as long as you've already tried closing it properly.  If it is hanging on in the background, this is the only way to get rid of it and keep it from slowing your computer down without having to reboot.  That is essentially what you're doing anyway when you have to click "End task" on the "Program not responding" message that pops up when you're shutting down the computer.

If SimPE crashes on me I always have to reboot. It completely freezes Windows even after killing the process.

[RainbowTigress]

I've had that happen to me too, but not lately.  I guess I've been lucky.  *knocks on wood*  There was one release that I had problems with it freezing every time I tried to save after making several changes.  Fortunately, it saved the changes although I had to end task.  I asked Quaxi about it, but he had no idea how to reproduce the error since it wasn't happening for him.  The next release or so after that seemed to solve whatever the problem was for me.  I guess we have to remember that as awesome as SimPE is, it is alpha software and may always be.

[Tgdrysix]

Well as long as I'm not the only one having issues....just wanted to be sure it wasn't something that I did wrong....I'll keep using the install I have now and be aware that if my computer starts running slow I need to check with task mananger....I do have the most recent version of simpe....thanks again, tgdrysix

[RainbowTigress]

Yeah, it always helps to know you're not alone.
