Hello,
Your link is dead, WinRAR tells me : access denied. Moreover, it does not appear in my game and other colors of objects and furniture no longer appear. I hope you find a solution to my problem. Thanks.

This is a wonderful tool. Been using it since I started with S2 in 2010. Thank you Very Much, Numenor.
However, since that Microsoft update at the beginning of February my computer, and by extension, the game, have had some issues. Most all have been resolved, except for one. The Chimney Recolours no longer work. I went into the CEP file, and there is no file listed for the chimney. Downloaded a fresh copy of CEP, and still no file for chimneys.
Would someone please help me out here?
This is a great modding tool for a great game. I'm currently using Sunni's fake chimneys to cover up/recolour the chimneys, but that adds unnecessary content to the game.
Thank you.

I have two laptops, one with Windows 7 and other with Windows 10. On both laptops I have installed Sims 2 Ultimate Collection via Origin. With Win7 everything, CEP included is working without any problems. On laptop with Win10 CEP is crashing game as soon as I try to enter build mode. I have no other custom content installed yet, I have checked, double checked and at least 12 times checked that CEP is installed correctly. I have tried installing it manually and also with installer. I have checked again and again that all right documents locate in right locations and still it keeps crashing my game. I have deleted caches, I have done everything instructed to prevent game crashing and I have used Origin to fix my game. Nothing works. When I remove CEP documents, my game isn't crashing.

The only difference with my two games/laptops is that on Win7 there is no problems and on Win10 there is no way I can make CEP work without it crashing my game. I'm giving up. Anyways, thanks for CEP, it works like magic on my other laptop!

I had a heck of a time figuring out the manual install for Windows 10, on a laptop on which I have installed all my old Sims 2 discs, but I think I got it! Thank you (all) for still being here!
Turns out I was prematurely optimistic -- I don't have this figured out at all! So for now I'm reading reading reading to find a solution, and hoping hoping hoping that my setup won't be incompatible with mods altogether!

It doesn't work for me, even though the "potty experiment" shows up like in the image. So I went throuh the list, and these two steps fail me:

- a file named "_EnableColorOptionsMMAT.package" in [gamedir]\EA Games\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Sims3D (regardless of the EP that you may have installed, the location of this file is always this one).
- a folder named "zCEP-EXTRA" in [Program Files]\EA Games\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog.

I've got Windows 10 and The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, I think that might have something to do with it?

Edit: I saw that I was supposed to manually but files here and there. I can't find a folder called "Double Deluxe" though. Do you think this is right?



After this, the yellow warning signs were gone but it still don't seem to be working?

These were the yellow warnings signs, the text is still there but there's always a warning about some of my CC so it doesn't bother me, I had never seen the signs before though

im using ultimate collection manual install. I can't seem to get bedding recolors to show up
the exact path is Program Files (x86) / Origin Games/ Sims 2 Ultimate Collection/ Double Deluxe/ Base/ then the file locations he said to go to in the instructions page. (just putting that in there for the girl above that can't find the double deluxe folder)
but that is where I put my "program files as instructed into the corresponding folders" and CEP will show up with the warning signs when loading the game but no recolor options do not even for the potty. I need a CEP that works for Ultimate Collection. since getting ultimate collection CEP hasn't worked. I even scrapped my hood and started over. nothing.

Thank you so much for this mod, Numenor! I just re-installed the CEP 9 (because I'm having issues with the base game dart-board not being designable, for some reason, even with the latest CEP ...) and saw your "donation" notice. I'm so sorry you've received so little support! I'd donate, but I'm on disability and need my savings to take my cat to the vet. But here is my thank-you post. THANKS!

The chimney recolors are not part of this mod, they are a separate mod by HugeLunatic, here: http://www.modthesims.info/d/434757...ecolorable.html

I've been looking everywhere for an answer but with no luck. I'm having a ton of trouble trying to get SimPE to recognize CEP so I can use Photo Studio. It's not working at all. Idk what to do and have posted this problem everywhere. I'm running on Windows 10 and have The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection through via Origin. Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by "everywhere"? If you mean everywhere at MTS, try the Sims 2 forums at Garden of Shadows.

Thank you for the CEP. I realize that a lot of hard work went into the development of this and it has been great being able to use other items because of your gift. Thank you for giving of time, your ingenuity and your very self to make this available to others.

I've decided to put off installing the CEP package until I receive clear instructions, or at least a video tutorial, on how to install manually. Any required help would get me to change my mind. Thanks in advance.

If you download the manual files then there is a readme included that tells you what to do.
