I tried and recolored a Maxis painting very recently, using only PhotoStudio. I wanted to try recoloring Maxis with

Wizards of SimPE but even though I got all necessary installed DD Utilities, the SimPE templates, the fitting version of CEP (I got all EPs and only Glamour and H & M SPs), that all my EPs, SPs are correct in prog. files, nothing missing or corrupted.

 

So even in Object WorkShop once SimPE loaded the thumbnails (or icons) of all objects are replaced with red circled crosses and in Wizards the names of objects appear but no thumbnail at all.

 

What should I do please :

 

- run the game with all CEP packages and CC enabled and browse the Objects categories, etc. ?

 

Did I miss downloading something else ? From Nvidia I downloaded a DDS Viewer but sorry, I'm not an expert in that matter and can't say if I did right.

 

Odd for me that all is fine with PhotoStudio in SimPE except that only Maxis objects from basegame show up.

 

I've seeked all possible tutorials here, at MTS, on French forums, sites, etc. I found nothing to help me and I don't know if this thumbnails missing is a bug or not.

 

All I can say is that I need to run the English version of SimPE. Because the French version of it shows a totally wrong name for the EP Seasons which in French is translated as Christmas or Celebration (I can't say what it is in English) Kit and in that French version Add Seasons (or so) is unchecked. But in the English version all is correct.

 

Other functions of SimPE are working fine for me. But I'd like to know if after having reinstalled SimPE I'd maybe need to reinstall EPs from Seasons to AL.

 

Sorry I'm a bit lost ! Thanks for the help. Sorry for posting this photo but I need to show.

Yes, you need to run the game and browse the catalog. You may also need to run a system check to be sure SimPe is finding everything properly.
