CEP Installation Help

Howdy peeps. Unfortunately, a few weeks back I lost everything on my pc when I had to do a new re-installation. Now... in the past I have had no problems installing TS2UC, or any of the extra bits of software. But this time I just cannot get CEP to install.

I read up on it and it seems that it has trouble installing due to the new set up of the UC and where files are located, so there is a manual installation one available. Trouble is, the instructions for putting all the bits in all of the places are wrong for me - I do not have the folders listed and therefore don't know where to put the bits.

Is anyone able to help please? I am on Windows 7, I installed the game through Origin and it is the Ultimate Collection.

    It was with @JULES1111 mentioning that some recolors don't show up in game because not enough boxes were ticked on initial install of CEP so I was trying to find a way to possibly be able to tick any of those boxes now its installed as right now I am not prepared to reinstall the program again as I would not be able to bear it if anything goes wrong :)

  • @elanorbreton Glad you got yours figured out. :)

    @SPARKY1922 Sorry I was looking in the files and can't find the box. It seems your only option is to reinstall to see if everything is checked off. If you wanted, and I tested this, you could begin the reinstalling process, when the box comes up check it out and see if everything is ticked. If it is..then you can just abort the process, no harm done. If not I guess you will have to decide if it is worth it or not for you. I have reinstalled and overwritten mine myself before, and no harm came from it at all. :)


    Edit: Do you have a example of one of the recolors you could not get to work? I would go in and test it in my game if you did.

    I have not tried anything yet since the reinstall as I am working my way through all my folders trying to arrange them better and get rid of things I don't want anymore however the daunting thought of going through the recolor folder has me running for the hills almost so for now I will start to test one recolor at a time and then if something does not work I may ask you if you mind testing it for me and if it works for you I will know its not checked all the boxes on the install.

    I know I sound paranoid re not wanting to download again but I just want to get everything else finished first and not give anything else even a smigen chance to go wrong :)

    That's ok, get things arranged first. I hear ya about the recolors folder! :o Ya if you find something that doesn't work post it I will give it a try. Remember you do not need to uninstall it first if you should choose to try. Override.
  • I cannot get certain item recolors to show up. I have installed CEP both automatic and manuel, I followed the instructions. But still the AquaPlus Shower Stall, Toddler Potty, Children's Toy Box, Wabbit Head, and a few others do not show up no matter what I do...it is very frustrating! They always showed up before, but I recently had to do a full factory reset on my laptop and reinstalled the game and all of my CC etc, now no matter what I do these items refuse to show their recolors!
