At one point and time, you were a newbie too.



Yup, and we all went through the same initiation here -- some survive, many don't.  Deal with it....

Don't be hard on Sara.   She's done a lot for "simkind", including providing us with empty and cleaned up templates for starting with a clean neighbourdhood, and giving us endless advice.

What she said wasn't directed at you, rather at us to be cautious about what advice we provide to people whose level of competency is unknown.  As Alexander Pope said "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".

SimPE is a complex, very powerful program that manipulates your game data.  It can trash your game in the blink of an eye, with practically no warning, as it's meant for the advanced users.  I've only used a tiny fraction of it to manipulate my character files.  It does so much more.  There are lots of tutorials on how to use it.  The trick is to focus on what you want to do, and search for tutorials on that.

You might want to use Sim Enhancer http://www.sims2programs.com/.  It's a program to manipulate your character data, but with a more user friendly interface.  Some people swear by it. It's like Mac vs Microsoft.  The only problem is that it's not free and some people have complained that the guy who wrote it provides you with piss-poor service.  But anyway.

I am considering writing a tutorial on how to "beautify" an existing neighbourhood, by making over your townies and NPC's.  Starting over is a good option, but not everyone is ready to do that.

Hey...I can deal with it....put up with it....and maybe even dish it sometimes.  But when it is all said and done, answer the question and not just be mean.

I have TS2Enhancer.  Heck I even have the current upgrade!  LOL  But it won't let me change the clothes or faces of the townies.  Will SimPE let me do all that?

miros:
Clothes:  Make the Townie controllable using various hacks and change their clothes with the DMA gadget.

Faces:  Make the Townie controllable and use the plastic surgery station or the DMA gadget.

If you don't know what you're doing, don't monkey with SimPE.
