What does "Japanese Bin.bundle.package" do?

(1/3) > >>

SiuPang:
Go to <Drive>:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Locale\Japanese\Bins and you will find this package. What actually does it do?

tunaisafish:
There are similar ones in the Korean and Chineses directories.
Facial structures by the looks of things.
So they don't have to play with fugly wide-eyed westernised sims?

seelindarun:
Really?  You mean if you choose a different language you also get different face templates?  How unexpectedly cool.
Is it possible to extract the faces, and if so, could you give me some pointers as to where to begin tackling this?

tunaisafish:
What I know about how the sims facial structure files work could be written on a postage stamp.
I just tried copying the chinese file to downloads to see if there was any difference in CAS.  If there was it was too subtle for me to notice.
The people in the MTS2 Bodyshop forums would probably have better advice on what these files do.

Yes, you use those templates by copying and pasting them to your language's locale folder.
Here is how,:

For instance, I am playing with the UK English version of the game but want to use the Tradition Chinese face templates instead.
Go to D:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Locale\Traditional Chinese\Bins and copy and paste the Traditional Chinese Bin.bundle.package to D:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Locale\UK English\Bins. Since the "Bins" folder is not there in the first place, I will have to create it myself.
Then, next time you run the game, it will use the Chinese face template instead.

*If you are using US English, "English" under "Locale" is your folder. For the rest, it is obvious which is your langauge.

BTW, I am still wondering if the face templates of the Japanese, Korean and Chinese are all the same :P
