Hi! I had a break from simming for a while and now I'm trying to get back to it, so I downloaded the latest version of SimPE (77.69.15). Not my first time with 77.69 in general, but I have a bit of a new problem tho - everything works great except closing files. I can open other files, save, make new files etc, but can't close. Neither File -> Close nor Ctrl + W works. It just gives me an error that says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". If I click continue, it doesn't work and even if I open other files, resource list stays the same so I can't really do anything. If I click close, then, of course, SimPE closes, though sometimes it only gives me the option to continue, idk why (not that it makes a big difference lol). Error in spoiler:

I tried 75.69 (from this thread) and it closes files no problem, but I have to admit that my biggest reason for using 77.69 is the pink theme and I'm afraid I can't go back to grey I have this problem on both my PC and my laptop. It's an annoyance, not critical, but I would love some help!

Would it be possible to have object workshop ignore things like quotation marks and dashes when it's putting things in alphabetical order?

You are right, there is (was) a problem, SimPE was testing if the current loaded file is a neighbourhood when there is no loaded file. Is fixed now.



Yep, is done. There is an option to switch it off/on in preferences or Settings Manager as some users may be so used to the way it lists things they may prefer to keep it way it is.

Thank you SO SO much Chris!! Can confirm, works great now

Thanks, I'll look for it. One more thing - I see that the animations have a text exporter for rotation values. Is it possible to reimport that txt file somehow? It'd make editing by hand easier.

Creating a UserID did not seem to work for me, as the Fences and Hood Deco, etc are still not showing up in Object Workshop. I'm using a no-install version of SimPE 0.77.69.16. I like all the upgrades so I'd hate to have to switch back to an old version to get the functionality back! Thanks.

Edit: I finally figured it out! You have to go into the "File Table" tab of Preferences/Settings Manager and then tick the box next to every single ".../Patterns" and ".../CANHObjects" line. And then save the preferences. I wish it was just a simple checkbox like it used to be, but hey, I'm just thankful for the program and that I finally got it working! Hooray!

I found that the Nvidia DDS Utilities 8.31 cannot be downloaded anymore from this website:
https://developer.nvidia.com/legacy-texture-tools

But I found these 2 other websites where it can be downloaded:
