New SimPE w/gender pref
RainbowTigress:
I was wondering what was going on when I used InSim's Personal Stats menu in the sims, and they were showing up the opposite of what I had set them to be. For instance, I set General Buzz +1000 Woman and -1000 Man, and his sats show somewthing like -999 Woman and 995 Man! So what others are saying about SimPE being backwards makes sense. How annoying.
And speaking of the new SimPE, while some things are easier, such as the Family ties editor where you can see the family trees, I don't like how the older relatives without character data now show up as Unknown with a Mr. Potato Head icon! Someone asked about it over at SimPE's forum, and I posted that I was having similar problems, and quaxi has not responded yet. It is rather frustrating.

Have you told quaxi of your problems? If you don't tell him, he won't know!
I emailed him today with 3 things that are annoying me. 1 of them's minor, to do with the University grades.
The one that concerns me most is shown in the screenshot below. Basically, it's now possible to use SimPE to make your sim have a relationship with itself. I know that if you use the handheld and don't have JMP & TJ's Too Many Iterations fixes that the game can run multiple copies of the same sim, leading to sims wanting to see/Play with/etc themselves - but it worries me that this option is just sitting there in SimPE for anyone to fiddle with. Does it cause horrible game corruptions? I dunno. I do know that "schizophrenic" (not really - multiple personality disorder is closer to it) sims have character files twice as big as they should be.
You can also see from that screenshot my biggest current annoyance - the fact that in the new uber-graphical user interface, the sims in the Relationship panel are sorted in completely random order. Not by last met, not by name, not by GUID. Just random. In a moderate Neighbourhood (300 characters) it can take 5 minutes to scroll through to find the sim you want to add a relationship to. Multiply this by a couple of sims, and it's just frustrating.

Why don't you just install the old version, until the new version is fixed? I do it all the times. I have now the newest old version, downloaded only after the needed fixes were made.
It's very annoying to be all the time "beta-tester" - enough we do it with the hacks...:). And even if you write at the forum there, you hardly receive an answer...:).
If you don't have anymore the old version, e-mail me, and I'll send it to you.

Yes, as I said, I wrote him about it on his forum.
It's too bad the old versions aren't available after the new one comes out, like other sites will do, they will keep at least the version previous to the newest release available for download. I think I will take you up on your offer gali. I will be emailing you.

Old versions back to 0.28 are available at sf.net -> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133134
