EDIT: A very kind individual helped me with the roads! Thank you Boı7 :)

Hey quick question does anyone here have the road editor feature working in simPE? mine isn't working and i need to change some roads, is there any way i could send an empty copy of my hood to someone to add the roads i need?

I load SimPE (version 0.77.69.12), and then a neighbourhood from the Neighbourhood Browser. I edit the name of one family in family information, and change some last names of some of the sims in Sim description. I always commit my changes, then I save. The issue is not me forgetting to hit commit, or forgetting to save. I don't change anything else. SimPE is not left running while I load my game.

When opening the game next, that household will no longer live on their lot. The lot will be for sale, and the family will be gone. I can find them through teleporting them from the "default" family using another sim family, and move them back into their house that way (but it really looks as if they're just disappeared at first). Everything else seems fine with them, and the issue has never happened when I haven't done something with them in SimPE. No other families in the hood are affected.

It's been happening more and more. I was given the advice a year ago to turn off Onedrive syncing (yes, the plan is to get rid of Onedrive and all windows products, but that's not happening overnight and I rely on it for some work folders so let's leave that conversation out of it for now maybe?), so I've been doing that, but the error is still happening and it's becoming more frequent. My backup version of the hood is fine.

I really thought onedrive was the culprit, as that makes sense given it's fucking up other files too. Hoodchecker doesn't return anything strange.

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but I thought I'd share in case it's not!

I was working in SimPE when my computer crashed. After rebooting, SimPE wouldn't start, giving the error message "Root element is missing". I found a few forum posts by people who ran into the same issue, but no solutions, so I did some fiddling myself.

The error message sounded to me like some kind of file was faulty, probably due to not saving correctly just before the crash. And it looks like that was the case!

I went into the Data folder in my SimPE installation folder and opened up all files that had recently been changed (I used Notepad, but any text editor will do). Turns out one file (in my case mru.xreg) was empty, and after deleting it, SimPE worked again! And the file was regenerated as well, this time correctly :)

I'm just a small Simblr account, so reblogging is appreciated

It looks way different from the NVIDIA tool that Poppet demonstrated in their tutorial (link: https://poppet-sims.tumblr.com/dds)

Hi all, question on something I’ve never done before. I noticed on a family tree in game that some long-deceased founding Sims in Brightmaple don’t show as married. I don’t know if that glitched out and broke somewhere along the way, or if I had always forgotten to set them as spouses in CAS and I just never noticed.

Regardless, I want to fix it now. The in-game methods I’ve found using hacked objects seem to require the Sims to be alive - and I’ve found some tutorials for editing stuff in SimPE to fix the family ties, but I’m not sure if it’s safe to do so on two dead Sims?

Okay so, I posted about this earlier and it seemed no one really knew the answer so I figured I’d maybe present a screenshot? 😅

For any SimPe savvy people out there, I found my Duirwood university in SimPe through the main hood I made it under (Riverview City, a custom hood I downloaded from MTS). How can I “export/extract”? it from here to turn it into a main, university hood template? That way I can add Duirwood to any main hood I’m playing (like Feverfew, for example)?
