Default Digital Copy / OFB and recolor issues....
I've asked at other sites and no one seems to have a clue what to do... I made the mistake of loaning my Sims2 CD's to a niece. After replacing my HD last year and having to purchase digital copies of everything except M&G, I am now finding that OFB buy mode objects can't be recolored. I open the file and there is no mesh to work with. Is there anything I can do???

Check your file paths under SimPE: Extra -> Preferences -> System Folders. You might also want to check Extra -> Preferences -> FileTable.

There is the culprit!... My digital download is for "Best of Business" !!! Evidently, SimPE does not recognize this. Can I manually populate the field???
Me? Sarcastic? Never.

In the system folders click the game path on right, then click the ..., browse to the correct path. It will be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Best of Business\EP3

I have added the "Best of Business Collection" in the preferences. However, in the file list, it says that the file is missing. Is there anywhere to go from here?

Are you sure that the path is correct? Did you click on the Reload button after changing the path?

Okay... I have done that.... When you go to the "File Table" It says that there are files missing ... not only for OFB... but for Nightlife....which is included in their Double Deluxe edition... and still a no-go for recoloring

Default something worked!
before I went to bed....defragged the computer and, with my system mechanic, ran programs to repair registry and re-align mis-aligned files. I thought I was going to have to uninstall best of business and find a copy of OFB on Amazon. This morning, opened up SimPE....and omg! Business items loaded up, too! YEAH!....

Thanks so much. I'm not a mesher... but I am a recoloring fiend and you have made my day....

I worship at the altars of the great Bovine and the Mad Goddess.....
