SiMidge not opening on Windows 11

SiMidge not opening on Windows 11

I downloaded SiMidge to flag duplicate meshes, but it won't open on Windows 11. I keep getting a "COM server is in use" error. I googled it, and all I could find were suggestions to close Microsoft Office in the background, but it's not running.

I'm confused. Could someone help? Some say this program is better than HcduPlus, while others say the opposite. I want to check if I have any duplicate meshes or defaults since I've been on a downloading spree...

Best Eye Defaults for the 'Siren' look?

I've had the 4T2 Lobster Eyes in my game for a while, but it's time for a change. I'm looking for a new default, something less cartoony, more sexy, preferably with alien eyes. Came across Tea Leaf's Embrace the Deception but haven't tested it out in-game.

What's everyone using these days?

We listen and we don't judge....

Went to Google searching for 4T2 conversions of art clutter, and two weeks later I'm still downloading CC, 20 GB and counting...

WCIF Motivational Posters?

Looking for wall hangings similar to the one used in Antisocial Bunny's Asylum Challenge (lol, I'm inspired).

I didn't see this particular mesh or recolor on her Pinterest board or on MTS.

Where else should I be looking?

Object Default Database

I'm working on updating my defaults when I came across this super helpful database on Google Sheets. It has options for nearly EVERY object in the game! I'm obsessed!!

May I suggest anything and everything in Cluedo Wood...hopefully this helps someone?

WCIF MOD that forces swimwear (instead of a towel) when receiving a massage?

IIRC, there was a mod that forces your sims to wear swimwear instead of a towel while on the massage table. It's not a hacked object, like the sign that enforces dress code in a room. It's just an override. I tried googling all sorts of combos and didn't find anything.

Rebuilding my downloads folder after losing my original files to the cloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Download Organiser Error

Hi, I know I asked this question a couple of times, but maybe this will help. Has anyone seen this error before? Using the last Download Organiser with the UC.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Delphy's Download Organizer - Object Reference - Error

I keep getting this error when scanning my downloads folder:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Would anyone know what this means?

I asked in Sims2Help, but no luck :(

Why do sims love to gossip so much??

Some sim showed up at my lot, gossiped about me to another sim, then came to me to gossip about THEM! This is only our first interaction...and it's been happening often. I love me a messy sim, but gossip seems to be everyone's favorite interaction in Sims 1, lol.

Matthew Hamming Makeover Download?

Any good makeovers of him that are available for download that don't completely change his genetics?

Starting a new Bridgeport save, and my legacy sim has her eye on him, but those trademark big Bridgeport eyes cannot be added to our genetics!

Searching for a makeover download of him that fixes this. Unfortunately, I'm not that talented in CAS, so I'm looking for a premade.

I found one on lordressdragoonbear's tumblr (where I found most of my Bridgeport makeovers), but her version of Matthew Hamming looks way too different for my tastes.

Any suggestions for premade makeovers?

TY!

WCIF a working link of 3T2 conversions of S-Club jewelry?

I came across a Tumblr post about this beautiful collection, but unfortunately, the Dropbox link doesn't seem to work...

Is there a working link somewhere else?

Thanks all 🙏

WCIF this eyepatch?

Is this a 4T3 conversion? I tried googling, and all I could find was S4 CC :(

Any nice custom CAS Screens to go with Clean UI?

The ones on MTS look pretty dated. Are there new ones that anyone could recommend?

Failed to Import Maxis Families - WCIF working FAM files?

Hi all!

Does anyone have the FAM files for the Maxis families that they could share?

i.e., Snooty Patooty, Jones, Maximus, Valentino, Hatfield, and the Agent family?

I tried the ones from SimsEchoes and Leesplays' archive, but they didn't work in my game. Probably because they're in UK English and my game is in US English. I did find a user save on this thread, but that was also in UK English, which caused all my townies to be named Randy when installed.

I did manage to move the Mashugas from neighborhood 2 to neighborhood 1. Just hoping I can create a complete save!

HELP! Missing Skins for Premades! Gunther Goth & Elden Hick are INVISIBLE

Sul Sul!

I reinstalled The Complete Collection after repairing Windows, and it seems like I'm missing a couple of skins! I went into Sim Enchancer, and it gave me an error for two premades that come with Unleashed.

Gunther Goth Sr is missing!

  • b603masknlgt_gunther
  • b803maskn_gunther
  • b803masknlgt_gunther

Elden Hick is missing!

  • b601mafitlgt_elden
  • b801mafit_elden
  • b801mafitlgt_elden

How do I find these files to add them to my skins? Would anyone be able to share theirs? 🙏

EDIT: MY BAD, DID NOT CHECK THEM IN GAME FIRST -- ALL GOOD!!

HELP! Missing Skins for Old Town Premades & Failed to Import Maxis Families

Sul Sul!

I reinstalled The Complete Collection after repairing Windows, and it seems like I'm missing a couple of skins! I went into Sim Enchancer, and it gave me an error for two premades that come with Unleashed.

>Gunther Goth Sr is missing b603masknlgt_gunther;b803maskn_gunther,BODY=b803masknlgt_gunther,BodyTexture

>Elden Hick is missing b601mafitlgt_elden;b801mafit_elden,BODY=b801mafitlgt_elden,BodyTexture

How do I find these files to add them to my skins?

I'm also having trouble importing the downloaded Maxis families (the Snooty Patooties, the Agents, etc) into my game. I used the .fam files from Lee's Play's amazing archive, but it did not work in my game. I also found a save file from this thread with all the families imported, but that didn't work either, since it seems to be a UK English save, and my game is in US English (which causes the townies to be renamed to RANDY).

Could anyone help a fellow simmer out? Surely I couldn't be the only one this happened to! Unfortunately, Google points me in circles when it comes to an over-25-year-old game.

WCIF - FOUNTAIN ICICLE DEFAULT REPLACEMENT?

Looks like peppermint-ginger's default replacement is no longer available on her site or archives. Does anyone have a copy they could share or a recommendation from another creator? 🙏
