"SimPE for the technically challenged" has been discontinued downloading and using the files here will not necessarly work for the newer versions of SimPE. However I am not leaving you in the dark,

I have created 3 new documents that teach you SimPE from the ground up, and because of this have given them the following names.
(You can get them by clicking on the following links)

SimPE - From The Ground Up (Installation Guide)

SimPE - From The Ground Up (User Manual)

SimPE - From The Ground Up (Tutorial)

I hope that you enjoy them,

I have created a basic tutorial on SimPE designed with the technically challenged in mind, however it may be useful to all.

Also please note that it is not yet finnished. I have been working on it for about a week and have decided to share what I have with others. I will continue to update as I get more time.

:yippee: The file is now a PDF and not a Word document! :yippee:

(Edited: 1-3-05)
Updates:
* Checked and updated contents to SimPE 14a
* Completed the Open Sim Modification section
* Added a Sim Surgery 101 section
* Uploaded both Doc and PDF versions (PDF version tends to loose image detail)

:howdy: Remember this tutorial is still a work in progress, so keep checking back!

Quaxi Instructor Join Date: Oct 2004 Posts: 465 Thanks: 722 in 3 Posts 6 Achievements	But since they have no need for this Tut until they managed to extract SimPE from it's rar that seems to be ok

(Dowloaded program called UltimateZip that does zip and rar but looks like WinZip... super easy even for the super dumb when it comes to these things) I'm checking out the tutorial now... donno if I'll actually use SimPE though... my luck I'd mess up the game and set my computer on fire or something (don't ask how I'd manage that... but be assured that it's not much of an exageration.)

	If you like to say what you think, be sure you know which to do first.

samanthalee1983 Test Subject Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 3	Important tip (you might want to add this to the tutorial): You have to "Save" after you "Commit" to have the changes go into the game. (at least it seems what needs to be done)
