SimPE or Simple Package Editor is a package editor for The Sims 2. It allows users to edit neighborhoods, recolor existing objects, modify existing objects, create new objects, modify game behaviors and the like. It can also create sims2pack files, a handy way to distribute files that can be installed using the Content Installer that came with the game.

SimPE is entirely based on community work and so is released under the GNU GPL. Source codes and older versions are available on SourceForge. Its listed as the simpe project.

With the latest version, 0.56, SimPE is fully compatible with all three current expansion packs: The Sims 2: University, The Sims 2: Nightlife and The Sims 2: Open For Business.

SimPE's website contains discussion forums related to using SimPE and to a limited extent, the game. There are several tutorials on specific topics relalted to modifying the game and using SimPE in general. The site also contains a GUID database, which creators are encouraged to use to prevent conflicts in the game that could cause one object to replace another (this is know as a GUID conflict).

SimPE requires that the Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 is installed for it to work.
