Forcing 12 hour clock problem

(1/3) > >>

Ness:
Seems Eaxis have done it again - wrong version of the stuff pack (TSS) shipped to Australia.  Same problem results - clock switches to 24 hour time.

With the "force 12 hour clock" option added with BV, I assumed it wouldn't be a problem.  Wrong!  Seems to need to be set for every single play session.

Is there any way to make it permanent?

Lord Darcy:
Here's 12-hour-clock registry fix for WinXP (32bit) I'm currently using. I have all EPs and SPs up to BV and TSS. If you don't have some EP or SP, open the reg file in notepad, and delete lines for any EP or SP you don't own before applying. (Just to  be on the safe side)

Alternatively, you can make a text file on your own, copy the following, and change the extension to reg and run it.

"Locale"="en_us"
"Region"="MX08004261"


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Teen Style Stuff\1.0]
"Language"=dword:00000001
"LanguageName"="English US"


For any future EP or SP, all you have to do is change the name of the registry key (EP/SP name in the bracket) and paste it to the existing 12 hour clock reg fix. You can find the correct key name for new EP/SP in Registry Editor.

Death to all Nesses. Have you seen your Ness-sighting in Awesomeland, NESS?

I don't think 'Region' plays a part on the language/clock setting. I've changed only the language and locale entries and it works although the region of my copy is EU (for Bon Voyage, that is. It's varying throughout the expansions, some of the EPs have only MX in the region, without any numbers. I wonder what's that actually means)

Ness:
File downloaded, edited and run...  Can't report back on the workingness or otherwise of said fix until I get home from work in about 9-10 hours time.

I hope I didn't just blow up my registry!

And Pescado, no I have not seen the latest Ness-sighting.  Your site is doing everything way too slow to make loading pictures (or even most threads!) possible!
