Need Help Removing File
witch:
Yeah but Carlynn states that every word in her/his game is replaced with the word fuck. Unless s/he just didn't explain it very well.
Carlynn:
That would be the file that is in there. The woohoo to fuck one. Sorry if I didn't describe it better.
I already did a scan with the clean pack installer and did that both with the hidden files showing and without. I haven't found anything yet.
Sorry about the colored text as well.
SaraMK:
Use Clean Installer to scan your Downloads folder. Click on Type to sort the list by the type of file. Some files will have nothing in the Type field, and those are the ones you want to look at.
Click each of the files in Clean Installer. Chances are you will get a little "preview" of the text, like this (note that this is a different mod that does the same thing):
If this still doesn't help you find the file, isolate the files that have no "type" listed and open each one in SimPE. It shouldn't be very many files, since the Clean Installer recognizes most types of files, and you obviously don't need to open files that you know aren't the fuck-mod because they're clearly labeled as being a clothing or hair mesh or they're a hack you downloaded on purpose from a reliable source (like from this site).
Soylent Sim:
A few rules of thumb:
Avoid downloading lots when you don't know what's in them. Especially until you've familiarized yourself with CPI and what it does.
If you have any files in your downloads folder that look like gibberish strings of text, they're usually okay to delete. They're items that came with lots you downloaded. You might end up deleting a piece of CC that you liked, but it's usually best to get your CC straight from the source. Downloading indiscriminately can cause you to have hacks that cause unwanted behavior, or even ones that conflict and cause game problems.
Finally, if all else fails, it's pretty easy to remove all your hacks at once. From your My Documents folder, go to EA Games and then The Sims 2. You can then either go into the Downloads folder and delete unknown files, or if you're not sure what you want in there you can delete the whole Downloads folder. Then you can either play just the base Maxis game, or else be more discriminating with what you download in the future.
lemonfresh:
You could also go to the web page where you downloaded the file, here, assuming this is what you downloaded, re-download and unzip the files onto your desktop so you know the names of the files to look for.
From the looks of it, this came with a replacement wants.package. I hope you made a backup of the original.
ETA: The correct URL... must stop posting before properly caffeinated.
