Hi.

So, I have a problem with SimPE. I'm following the written tutorial because in the one with pictures the images aren't loading. When I get to the step where I'm supposed to open my PT's package file in SimPE and add the xml files, I see no option in SimPE under "File" to "add". What am I doing wrong?

Is anyone able to help? If the pictures in the other tutorial are loading for you, I'd be okay with screenshots of that.

Yeah I guess it's not there anymore in the current version. You can just right click on an empty area and it'll be the first option.
Picture links in tutorial seems to be broken now, couldn't see them in Wayback Machine either. I don't know if the creator is still around to update it but feel free to ask questions if you're stuck again

Thank you so much! I'm still learning SimPE. I do think quite a bit has changed since the tutorials were made, and I had to google a few things to get to the end. Still, the mod doesn't work. My sims can't get alien pregnant even with the Tombstone of L&D cheat. I suspect this may be due to the fact that, when I added the xml files, the catalog description one did not have any strings in it (first and last name, etc). I tried making my own strings, but I must have fucked up. All the other steps I'm fairly sure I did correctly. Any advice?

If you downloaded fwiffo's kit, strings should be there. There are many steps so it's hard to say what might've gone wrong. If you don't have any other clue about where you might've made a mistake, you can send a private message so that we can go over each step or I can do it for you if you want.

Hi, I really love your mod but I have a question. I tried to set it up but it seems that only the first PT passes their genes on correctly. Maybe you could help me with it. I'm not very advanced in SimPE but I followed every step closely and now I don't know what to do :/

Hi! This mod is really very cool and I've had it working well for me for a while now. I'd like to make a new batch of PTs and while I know to not remove the custom PT files, I'm unsure on where to find them & where to put them when I do?

When you create customs in Body Shop, they are saved in SavedSims folder. After you edit them for the mod you can put them anywhere in your Downloads folder. I guess they can stay in SavedSims folder as well if you want. I hope I understood your question right

Did you unzip all of the "Multi-PT_kit.zip" to a single folder? Someone else had a problem at that point. If you did that part correctly, do you remember anything happening different than described in the tutorials? You can try retracing your steps to check if you made any mistake. Is it possible that your Pollination Technicians' GUIDs are conflicting with other objects?

Thank you so much! You understood my question perfectly, and your response was super helpful This template makes creating PT replacements so much easier!

Yes, I unzipped everything in one folder and there was no difference as described in tutorials. I guess it's probably the GUIDs that are conflicting then. The thing is, you can't register in SimPE anymore so I had to randomize those (as it was suggested in a discord server). Do you have any idea what I can do now? I'm a bit lost...

Ok you can DM me your files and I can check them for you if you want.

It took me a day, but I actually plugged 16 PTs into this mod! I created 15 of my own and used the vanilla PT because I love him. It seems to work really well, and thank you for uploading this template!
