simPE and H&M Stuff

mikedelaney16 · 07-28-2007, 02:48 PM

Fixed serious typo in version number

If you are not a simPE user, then this doesn't effect you. But you are welcome to continue reading anyway.

Regular simPE users take note that simPE 0.62.1.100 is not compatible with H&M Stuff. I'm sure there will be an update soon, but if you wish to continue using simPE in the meantime, don't install H&M Stuff.

I just found out the hard way. Silly me. Good thing I was only playing test hoods, so I can roll back.

Yelp!

Yes, I noticed the warning pop-up the last time I booted up SimPE. I was just using it to look at some Sims (info gathering) & wasn't changing anything with it, so I didn't notice anything amiss.

The curious side of me wants to know: What happened in your case?

(Since you are still online & playing the game, I know it wasn't a total BFBVFS...)

Miros1 · 07-28-2007, 02:55 PM

I'm running 0.62.1.100...

Zirconia Wolf · 07-28-2007, 02:58 PM

Hmm...just checked my version # & it too is 62.1.100.

I still get the warning pop up- so I'm not gonna chance things yet- but I'm wondering if it's as big of a problem with this version...

OMG!!!I didn't know.I had to call Dell Tech Support because I deleted something that I thought was breaking my game but when I deleted it my game wasn't able to start up.So then I got everything installed when the guy helped me and it said I can't put back in H&M so its still not in my computer

I just went to edit some stuff in my No Fugly Downtownies experiment and got the popup message. Nothing lost, but I either have to start over, or wait for a new version of simPE.

But my actual game is uneffected, as long as I do a complete clean reinstall of everything except H&M Stuff. Theres some nice content in both the H&M and Glamour Stuff packs btw.

Please note the correction in post #1.

My original post was typed by my pet monkey while I dictated in a slurred manner.

Thanks for the info....I haven't installed H&M, and now I guess I'll wait a little longer, just in case I want to use SimPE

Wow! That's a big plus for Dell tech support. I'm amazed that they were able to help you with EA software.

keno · 07-29-2007, 02:14 PM

i really didn't wanna ask...but what is H&M?

Miros1 · 07-29-2007, 04:00 PM

H&M is a clothing company.

EA apparently is making marketting deals with various companies, such as H&M and Ford. The 2008 Ford Focus is available at the Maxis site for the game now.

Zirconia Wolf · 07-29-2007, 04:15 PM

Well, having already added H&M to my game (I have no will power it seems) this is a good thing to know! I was about to try & play around with some Sim memories...think I'll wait a bit now!

Thankfully, I had already zipped up the ugly townies & installed my new default sets before adding H&M, so- while I can't go through & erase the unmeet people in the Maxis default hoods- at least my newly created hoods all have different & nice looking Townies/Downtownies/Dormies!

Yes I must agree that both H&M and Glamour Life have some nice (IMO) content. I'm an EP/SP addict. I've got 'em all. Actually never even started with just the base game: I jumped right in with everything-up-to-Pets! Same story with Sims 1, actually (it was Unleashed that intriged me) & will most likely be the same story with Sims 3: as soon as I can have pets in the game, I'll fork over the dough. I'm a sucker for animals...

Given the fact that we (addicts) are about to be hit with Bon Voyage, I would think the SimPE team might wait to release an update untill it's okay for H&M aswell as Bon Voyage??

Miros1 · 07-29-2007, 05:18 PM

Yeah, that's what they did with Celebration Stuff and Seasons...

Greg · 07-29-2007, 05:24 PM

Those stuff packs and expansion packs might be lots of fun when I install them some time next year!

Best to do it before then as Sims3 is supposed to be released sometime next year, and you just wont have time then.

Zirconia Wolf · 07-29-2007, 05:52 PM

Next year!!!

Gack!

I haven't even come close to "finishing" Sims 2 yet...

Miros1 · 07-29-2007, 06:25 PM

Lol, the grapevine sez S3 won't be customizable, so eff 'em! I'll just play S2 until my disks won't spin up anymore!

mikedelaney16 · 07-29-2007, 06:32 PM

That would be akin to EA shooting themselves in the foot a la Ashton Tate (dBase). Sounds just like something EA would do.

Not customizable???????

You have got to be kidding. Then again, given the company in question...(They're not shooting themselves in the foot; it's more like the head!)

Well phooey on that! Looks like I'm "stuck" with Sims 2 for sometime. (On the plus side, I'll save alot more money!)

Greg · 07-30-2007, 03:13 AM

I'm not sure about The Sims 3 not being customizeable. All I've heard about that is fans speculating about it.

EA didn't intend for The Sims 2 to be costomizeable, either. The only official customization built into The Sims 2 is recoloring the clothing and makeup. Nevertheless, the fans have been able to get into just about everything.

Beyond that, I don't know of any computer game that hasn't been hacked by the fans. They would have to really work hard to keep us out of The Sims 3.
