Want Text Alterations

(1/2) > >>

Menaceman:
How would I go about altering the text that appears when you hover over a want in the wants panel? I thought it would be as simple as locating the text, extracting it and then creating a new package with the extracted file and then altering the text before committing. I'm asking cos the "Tell an inside joke to 'sim name'" text is missing the 'to' in English UK installations.
I've already made a replacement file but it doesn't seem to have any effect in game.

spaceface:
I assumed that this was simply because more text would not fit in the want block. A smaller font would be irritating.

Alex:
Simply edit the text files in the wants.package?

I have thought about doing that, but it's nonsensical to me.  Have you ever seen what's in there?! :o  I didn't even know some of those symbols existed!

It's probably not something someone with little to no skill with computers (read: me) should do, but I wanted to try anyway.  Oh, well.  I'll live.

BastDawn:
Make a backup and try it.  How else are you going to learn?
