Default DDS Utilities for SimPE
HI!
I just installed SimPE .75.69.23, and it looks like I need the DDS tools so I can "Build DXT".
I downloaded and installed them, but there is no entry for them under Extra/Preferences/System Folders. Is it somewhere different now? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for your help.

I am unsure where they go, but did you try right-clicking and seeing if Build DXT shows up? If it's working is good enough for me.

I did try that, in case SimPE had found it automatically. Still greyed out though. I checked on the old computer too, which is a slightly earlier SimPE. Same deal.

Fixed!
After a couple of hours still using SimPE, I happened upon the place where it wanted me to browse for Nvidia. Not System Folders any more...but Extra/Preferences/SimPE Settings.
Thanks for your attention.
