Heh-I have OCD when it comes to my downloads folder, and everything has its own folder by site 1st then by set, so the only files that aren't folders in the actual downloads folder is CEP, so when I saw that 6MB file I just thought I'd downloaded some crap in error, so i just deleted it :coffee: So glad I did now!

I apologize for asking a stupid question:  How do you open a file in SimsPE?  I know how to use the Clean Installer and Delphy's organizer, but the only thing I know how to do with SimsPe is open Sims in the Sims Browswer.

KristalRose, select the line item in Download Organiser and right-click it - you should get an option saying something like "open with SimPE" -- once you see the inside of the file, you'll see something like the attached image.

Once open - the  visual cue that informs you that you are seeing a game core file and not custom content is that it contains 1500+ of one file type and very little else.  A custom default replacement you download will have a handful of similar things, but will not have several 100s.

Thank you very much for telling me how to do that.  Happilly, I do not have any of these files.  I do, however, have a lot of huge hair, skintone, and object recolor files. I'm off to clean those out.  Thanks again.  Smiley

Can I still use SimPe this way to check files with BV installed?  So far (knock on wood) I haven't had any problems, but I'm a download addict so I'd like to check and make sure.

MixedCrysy, you look no worse than I did through most of my 20s, the goth punk, deconstructionist look was so fashionable >_<

cari4003, to check files - yes - only do not use it to edit game files!

Ok, so I have a question.  I have a really important video to make with the sims, but when I go into bodyshop to make the cast, the bodyshop window goes black.  Could that be a result of this bug?  And yes I have all expansion packs except Celebration.  I'm no wiz at this programming thing so I would really appreciate all the help I can get.

Probably not.  That might be a video card issue, Darkchyld.  :scratch:

Tenshii~Akari is right (as usual) - that does sound very much like a video card incompatability - probably the driver.  Lots of things might affect this, it may even occur randomly because of some grit or dust on the interior of the case; but almost always it is a video card issue dealing with the DirectX interfaces.

Check your system with DXDIAG (just run that from the START menu's run option)

Do all the tests and save the report to a text file - then post it in the general help section with Attenton Beosboxboy in the title.
