This is not good. It appears that the latest rev of SimPE might corrupt character files.
I just did a test: I edited Meadow Thayer's number of semesters at college in the latest rev of SimPE. It previously said "2" and I changed it to "8" with hopes of getting Meadow and her twins back to town right away so the kids could grow up.
As part of my storytelling, I went back to a backup from the end of July so that my graduate sims were still students. The last backup I had on the hard drive here had them in semester 7, and I thought that might not be enough time to finish all the photography I wanted to do with them. So I tried to use SimPE to put them back in semester 5.
The game loaded ok and ran, but when the students went to class, they wouldn't come back! They were unplayable and off the lot, with their needs all slowly draining to red. I couldn't X them out of class, or delete them with move_objects on (because they weren't on the lot to be deleted). Moving lot brought them back, but again they went to class and didn't return.
I don't know if this is a SimPE bug or something more fundamental (like you can't just change the semester number and expect the game to send the students to the right time slot classes), but going back to the unedited July backup cured the problem.
Is there an alternative to SimPE for people who just want to edit their sims or Neighbourhoods about a bit, rather than having access to the full object editing stuff? Like SimEnhancer for TS2?

Old versions back to 0.28 are available at sf.net -> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133134
If you get the newest one off sourceforge, you'll notice that the archive contains both "SimPe" and "SimPe Classic". I use Classic all the time, myself. Same old UI, but with newer functionality.
In lieu of a "thanks" button, Thanks for this useful post, Dizzy2. :)

Baratron, there actually is a SimEnhancer for TS2, now. If you don't mind forking over 20 bucks for it. And I don't know how often he updates. I think only recently it was adjusted to work with Uni.

I had that happen to me once too. I kept them alive with Merola's painting, and I finally got them back by using Inge's teleporter shrub. I still won't buy the 'Enhancer'. I distrust anything that has gotten such bad reviews about the owner not supporting the product, especially when I have to pay a whopping 20 dollars for it.
Baratron, you might be better off trying the older models of SimPe first. I have problems going onto the site where they are housed, but with the help of a friend, I was able to get the older model and it works fine. (Thanks again ZZ :D).

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.
Yes, they simply ignore us and pretend there's no problem. Nice to see you here as well, rainbow.
