I’m looking for someone here in New Jersey who knows The Sims 2 inside out—especially SimPE—and can sit down with me (in person or via screen-share if you’re nearby) to get my game fully mod-ready. Right now SimPE refuses to behave whenever I try modifying in-game items and tools. Packages won’t save correctly, and the objects either disappear or throw errors once I load the lot. I want to understand what I’m doing wrong, fix any corrupt resources, and make sure edited objects show up in-game without glitches. Once SimPE is running smoothly, I also need clear, step-by-step help installing custom mods so everything plays nicely together. What I need from you • Diagnose and repair the SimPE setup, focusing on object modification workflows. • Walk me through a successful edit of at least one in-game tool item, verify it appears and functions in The Sims 2, and explain why the fix works. • Guide me through best-practice mod installation: folders, load order, and conflict checking. • Leave me with concise written notes or a short recording so I can repeat the process confidently on my own. If you’re local to NJ, even better—I’d love the option for a quick on-site session—but remote assistance is fine as long as we can share screens. Familiarity with CEP, package editors, and common Sims 2 mod repositories is a plus. Let’s get my game stable and my creativity flowing again!
