Woo!  Half way there...  now, does anyone know how much longer for simpe?

[RainbowTigress]

Doesn't any one use the Thanks button around here?   

BTW, thanks Joe. 

[rohina]

Baaaaaaaa!

Thanks Joe.

[Giggy]

Thanks, too bad its useless without simPE

A QA version of SimPE that works with Pets has been out since shortly after the release of Pets. Object Workshop in the QA version works just fine doing recolors and cloning, even of pets items. Most content creators already have access to this version and even with the old SimPE there's ways to get around it and access the new Pets items.

Also, this version of CEP includes some fixes like the glowing GLS stereo and the Way Cool Island Bar Corner's second color state.

It's hardly useless.

[Giggy]

  then thats SWEET!
Edit: opps I forgot to sign into QA, oh well I'll wait a week

[CrabOfDoom]

Great to see that CEP's been updated. Any and all signs of progress are welcome!

My trouble with waiting for SimPE is that I'm not an object modder or recolorer - I need it to clone the sims in my custom hood that's about to go nova on me, and only no-character-file townie duplicates are showing up in the program. With all of my favorite head cases- er, I mean characters - over in that hood, it feels like I have an expansion I can't really play with until I can fix my fireball. (yes, that's putting it overdramatically, and I'll just have to wait like everyone else.) Still, I'd rather wait for a finished product than make do with a half-assed effort, so waiting it shall be.

As far as I know, Quaxi doesn't limit QA testing to modders. He just wants people to use the QA versions and report any problems they encounter. I know there's some people on the QA forum that don't mod.

[Inge]

Yes really the QA group is so he knows the people downloading the dodgy versions are well aware of the fact they could be getting a dodgy version and don't start ranting if it messes up their game.   Though occasionally he does get annoyed when enough people start spouting consumer rights after having not bothered to give feedback and has a big purge on non-contributors

[Giggy]

I know that its just that I've signed up and now I have to wait a week till he can put me on the list 
I feel sad

I just use it to remodel servos or customise sims

[Giggy]

darn it its gonna take so long!
Edit: FINALLY! I got in!!!!!!

[Motoki]

giggy: Newsflash. No one cares.

And you better behave yourself too or you'll be kicked out just as fast.

[Giggy]

  sorry

[skandelouslala]

Hmmm

It's interesting that he says the radiance lighting has been removed from CEP, yet after downloading it today the radiance lighting is once again in my game upon loading after installing the latest CEP.

[Giggy]

I highly doubt that. Numenor removed it unless you put it in without realising using another program were you using scriptonium or something?

[skandelouslala]

Well highly doubt it all you want...i mentioned something in the thread on MTS2 just in case, but I have no idea what the heck happened.  I downloaded from the thread linked here, not the scriptwhatever.

I played with the radiance lighting for a long time and got sick of it so took it out.  I know what it looks like and how it works.

That is the only thing I downloaded outside of MATY since I reloaded my game today.  Maybe it's a freak occurance and my game went psycho lol I dunno.  It's not a big deal either way...I was just a bit annoyed that it snuck in somewhere.

I think that CEP is conflicting with some hacks.

The hacks I have is :
antiredundancy
collegeadjuster
CommTelescope
ffsdebugger
finalfix-nlp2
No More Secret Abductions
nodormieregen
notownieregen
Numenor_GlobalHack_OFB_Custom-objects-placeable-on-shelves
TeleporterShrubPlus

After installing the new CEP, my sim couldn´t do the dishes. The plates became un-clickable when the sims had finished eating.
 
I could move the plates around with out any problems in Buy/Build mode.

If I removed my hacks, the plates became clickable again, but the green stink cloud was gone. And the sim had the option to either Clean Up or Resume Cooking with the dirty plates !!!

So I uninstalled the new CEP (in Controlpanel-Add/Remove Programs) and installed the OFB CEP, added my hacks and everything is back to normal.

I don´t get it ... *Confused*

Theoretically, the CEP should not be able to upset hacks.  But it's possible Numenor accidentally messed something up - very bizarrely.  I'm not using the CEP currently so I can't confirm.

[jsalemi]

I think that CEP is conflicting with some hacks.

I have most of those hacks, and no problems with them and the new CEP.  Just make sure you have the latest versions of all of them -- many hacks are being constantly updated for Pets as the modders get more familiar with it.
