| So I just downloaded the latest version and went to scan my downloads folder. And I saw that there were some duplicate guids listed-what should I do about it? :?
Also, in the ''type'' column some objects (new meshes) were listed as ''maxis object :?:
And what does ''indetermined'' in the ''ready'' column mean? And why are some files listed in red?
I would really appreciate any help on this! |

| .packages with duplicate GUIDs could refer to a hack. So You have to check where the GUID was found first, and then decide wether or not the Object in question could be a potetntial Hack for this Object.
Those Objects were not created using the OW, but by simply changing a package directly. SimPE has no way to seperate those from Original Maxis content, and displays them as such.
Indetermined means, that SimPE was unable to tell if the package is EP ready. most likley becuase the Object was created manually, or again based on another .package without using the OW. |

| Thank you VERY much :)
Only one question left unanswered-why are some files in red? |

| Whenever a Scanner detects something unusual, it highlights the package in red. For Example all Objects with duplicated GUID or non EP Ready packages are marked red. |
