SimPE Linux Mint - Neighbourhood Memory - The Imagetype is not supported
Hello, I need some help with my recently installed SimPE. (On Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon, with Lutris and wine; TS2 UC, SimPE 0.75f from the on-site Download, not the newest from the Preservation thread, MTS_Quaxi_1860519_SimPe_075f_qa.7z)



The Imagetype issue description
I was following the tutorial about changing memories: https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=228915
I loaded Neighbourhood (Pleasantview, never played) via Tools/Neighbourhood/Neighbourhood browser. I had a first "Imagetype not supported" popup during 26% loading of neighbourhood (some dog???), but when I closed the popup with X it went further.
I chose Neighbourhood Memory (NGBH) (1) in the Resource tree, the item appeared on the Resource list. I clicked it. The popup about error appeared again. But this time when I close the popup error, the next one appears, identical or with different pixel depth size, and another, and so on... I had to shut SimPE down through Lutris.
How can I stop it? What is it related with?




EDIT 1
Second issue - "The type serialized in the .resources file was not the same type that the .resources file said it contained"
I thought it might be incompatibility issue, since the SimPE version is generally few years older than mod I was opening (but the SimPE entry was updated since then... I don't know how much). Is there any idea how to deal with it without installing newer SimPE version (and would even this installing help?)?
The error appears when I try to read in Plugin View any of the Text Lists (STR#) or Pie Menu Strings (TTAs) or BCONs. I can see and change their Resource ids (in resource tab). But the only types I can really edit are BHAV, OBJ and Pie Menu Functions.

EDIT 2 Installing newer SimPE version (77_69) didn't help. Same errors appear.




EDIT 3
I tried to run SimPE 0.75.1.31194 on my old Windows laptop that is in too bad shape to run smoothly sims. But it handles this version of SimPE very well. So now I have separate computer for playing and separate for modding. USB sticks get useful again, yay... xD
(I still welcome any hints what could be wrong with my SimPE installation on Lutris!)
