Default SimPE Will Shutdown Due to an Unhandled Exception? SimPE Version 0.75f Help?
Hello everyone, I am trying to run SimPE on my linux mint (Ubuntu 22.04, I believe) HP laptop. I am using WINE 7.0 (with winetricks), and am following the instructions on this thread, and have installed DDS Utilities, NET, and the files in "simpe_msxredist.msi" that the thread said was required. I am trying to run the 0.75f version of SimPE uploaded by Quaxi (as I read that it was best for the UC, which is the version of Sims2 I have). When I run the included NET test, it shows everything as normal, and when I run the Validator, everything shows up fine too. Wizards of SimPE is also working just fine as well. However, when I try to run SimPE itself, it says that it is shutting down due to an unhandled exception.

Here is the error log which SimPE gives me:

Windows Version:
Vista

.NET Version:
4.0.30319.42000


Does anyone know what the problem is here? Should I be doing something with the wrapper test? Or should I be using another version of SimPE? Any help, even just ideas, would be greatly appreciated.

I also have the same issue here, except I use a Steam Deck. I tried modifying the manifest file on Windows to see if that gave the same error but it seems like it doesn’t actually read it?

I also noticed that the older version of SimPE opens and seemingly runs just fine, until you attempt to view any data, in which you get an error regarding the Packed file.

The error in question being: “System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type of field ‘Ambertation.Panel3D.mesh’ (1) due to: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX, Version=1.0,2902.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ab364e35 or one of its dependencies.”

I wonder if this error is somehow related to SimPE’s later versions not opening at all
