First, the English site looks all kinds of strange, which makes deciphering what to do a bit confusing
"SimPE - The Sims 2 Package Editor > Downloads" (See photo below)
The Deutsche site looks fine, but the
SimPE version seems old (it appears in English because my browser automatically translates foreign languages)
sims.ambertation.de (See photo below)
So I scroll down the English site, see version 72 as an easy install and 7z extractable.
I
want the easy install, but then see as I scroll down further a link about version 73
"SimPE 0.73.44 QA for everyone:", which opens up a blog update in 'News',
"SimPE 0.73.44 QA for everyone" which also has to be extracted. Out of confusion, I download both (whichever works, I'll use!)

This QA has been stable for a long period, and I think it is safe to offer it generally. It’s a 7Z and will require manually unarchiving into its own folder and running from SimPE.exe (or you make your own shortcut). Remember to change what runs (your file association) when you double-click on a .package file. If you don’t know how to do that, then start SimPE before using File/Open to open your packages.
Link to download:
http://sourceforge.net/project/down...e_0_73_44-QA.7z

Later, I look for installation instructions, which I found linked to in this thread above, and from the English and the Deutsche
SimPE sites.
BUT... The Xanathon Installation Guide no longer shows up on the website below.

As you've seen (hopefully, if I did it right) from the pictures above that the sites seem strange, but both have a link to the Xanathon guide, yet both paths result in the same blank webpage. (See photo below)
Is there anywhere else with the installation instructions?!?!
Also, how do I know whether I need the following Additional Downloads? (and which ones?)
English Site "Additional Downloads":
Quote:
Additional Downloads = SimPE Photostudio Templates (2.317 mb) - - - - Requires SimPE - - - - Version 3.0 (6.1.2005) - - - - Just start the Setup Application = SimPE Base Careers (0.689 mb) - - - - Requires SimPE - - - - Version 1.0 (26.3.2005) - - - - Copy the Files in this Archive to your SimPE\Data Folder and restart SimPE

Deutsche Site "Additional Downloads":
Quote:
Additional downloads = SimPE Photostudio Templates (2,317 mb) - - - - SimPE extension - - - - Version 3.0 (6.1.2006) = SimPE Basic Career (0.689 mb) - - - - SimPE extension - - - - Version 1.0 (26.3.2005) - - - - Copy these files to SimPE \ Data and restart SimPE

Which of
any of these files (SimPE, additional downloads, plus tutorials, faqs, etc.) are the most recent (not just from these sites I've referenced, but any at all).
* * P.S. My apologies for any weird formatting. I couldn't figure out how to make the thumbnail photos sit inside the post. I thank you all for any help with this!
