The other night I had downloaded SimPE, at first everything was shown as unknown, but everything that the FAQ had suggest was in order. I don't know what I did, but after I opened it again everything showed up right. Today it happened again, I reopened it a few times, but it still showed them as Unknow.

"There can be two Reasons for this Problem. The most common one is that you have selected the Option No meta Information in the Extra Menu. if you uncheck it and restart SimPE, the names should be available.

If that did not Fix your Problem, you might want to check that the Folder that contains the Neighborhood Package you have opened also contains the Subfolder Characters. Because that is the location SimPE uses to load the Character Details.

Since the EP, this can have another Reason: You have to open the default Neighborhood File to edit your Sims. For example even if they live on the Campus, the University Neighborhood Files contain only unknown Data."

No Meta Info is not checked. The Neighborhood I opened does have the subfolder Characters. The previeous neighborhood (the Seasons EP) I had checked it on showed names, but the one I had edited yesterday, Pleasantview, are listed as Unknown, except for Father Time (npc), etc. for EP's, even all of the Pleasantview families are missing from the Household Names list, leaving what appears to be "families" from my EP's (like college campus, etc, I have all EP's installed). Sorry if I'm not making the best of sense, but I'm finding these things as I type... lol xP

Well, when I checked the second time on  the Season's EP Neighborhood/Memory, they're showing up as unknown, too... WTF. I don't know what's wrong with it, it worked lastnight before I went out. :( Can anyone help me?
