What are you trying to do with S4Pe? Open a file, or open the game? S4Pe is for editing and creating CC, not for playing the game.

Try this link: http://stinkyeggsandwichsims.blogsp...using-s4pe.html

For the layman, like me, who just use it as a merge tool, I use S4pe to open package folders to confirm they are for Sim4. Sometimes I can get confused. I've even put a few Sims3 package files in my Sims4 downloads folder by accident. This tool takes the guess work out. But also, if you have downloaded a mod, that once unzipped, has a large amount of individual package files, you can compress them with the S4pe tool. It saves time and space in your mods folder. Certain kinds of files should never be merged. The site where you download S4pe has all the instruction you need. I'm not a creator, so I don't know anything about creating or changing the files. Just confirm and merge. That's all I do with it.

I think something happened to ruin S4pe? I can still use it for looking into my package files and also to see who the creator is but when I try and merge with it, the merged packages either stop the game from starting or throw exceptions all over the place. I have the most current update version. Anyone know what's up with S4pe?
