Just a retard noob question on AL arrrrr! use/install.

(1/4) > >>

dragonballz:
I downloaded it. I unzipped it. I overwrote the TSData files with the new crack files. When I double-click on the AL icon my comp thinks for a second and then pops me a window titled "The Sims 2" with a giant crimson "x" circle. *gutteral sighs* Hate to even ask this, but what the fuck am I doing wrong? Assuming that I've skipped a step somewhere/installed in the wrong folder/etc. I HAVE removed SecuROM via the kickass tutorial, so that's not the prob. All previous EPs were purchased by myself the legal way (NL, BV and FT), so this is my first experience with *ehem* other methods.

Help. Please. Grovel.

Thank you.

Kyna:
Did you change the shortcut to point to Sims2EP8.exe, not to the launcher?

dragonballz:
Mmmmm....no.

My comp knowledge only goes so far. Excellent problem solver that I am (I stumbled and floundered my way through the SecuROM removal tutorial and came out victorious!), directions about "changing shortcuts" still stump me. *blushes*

Please explain, and Thank you Kyna.

Kyna:
To change where the desktop shortcut points to:
Right-click the shortcut to the game on your desktopOn the right-click menu you will see an option called properties, select thatYou should see a field called "Target"The target field will say something like: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Apartment Life\TSBin\Sims2Launcher.exe"Change Sims2Launcher.exe to read Sims2EP8.exe, but leave the rest of the text alone.  If you want to run your game in windowed mode, you can add -w after the final "Click OKNow double-click on the shortcut to run your game.

Jelenedra:
Or you can delete the shortcut on the desktop, go to the TSBin and manually create a new one based off the NoCD crack that you should be using to completly avoid SecuROM.
