Resolved: What happened to the SimPE Website or software?
vita4all:
This morning they were operating. Suddenly, not only is SimPE's server not found, but their software doesn't work, from viewing Sim Description to using their Photo Studio to make your own wall hangings.
I know they have the capacity to update automatically everytime I turn on the computer... and can disable the program if they want. Servers fail all the time, but their software not working is a first for me. Does anyone have a clue?

I tried to go there and IE can't display the page. I thought I'd come here to see if anyone else is trying or if not, I would post about it. I was wanting to see if they had updated it or any news about updated it for it to work with Seasons.
Bummer.
SkeleBear:
Apparently, the server or site is temporarily "down." Give it some time and it should be back up.
vita4all:
The server is not only down. The SimPE software was disabled. These two problems are independent of one another. In my two years of using SimPE, it's never been disabled because of server failure. I wonder if the program was intentionally disabled. This could have only occured because I allowed the SimPE program in my computer to communicate with their server via an open port in the firewall.
The only way to not have a specific program in your computer communicate with it's maker is to place a firewall around all ports. Many program applications have an open port to allow communication, such as your computer's antivirus software, Photoshop, Microsoft, Windows, Adobe, Sims 2 and SimPE, so they can update when you turn on your computer or even do so invisibily as you work, unless you select otherwise and choose manual updates.
Now, I don't want to sound like I'm an expert - I'm not. I'm not terribly savvy with computers, but one remedy to avoid this is to right click on the icon that looks like a badge called Windows Security Center and click open. Click on Windows Firewall. Go to Exceptions Tab. If you don't see SimPE and Wizards of SimPE on the list, click Add Program and add them. Leave the boxes unchecked and press okay. Now they should be completely firewalled. And if you're fortunate enough to have a copy of your last updated application from SimPE, maybe in your backup file or recycle bin, reinstall it.
Micco:
Something went wrong with your software. I loaded SimPe and while it said that it couldn't connect to the internet, once I clicked out of that the file I was checking loaded.
