Is it just me, or is the frame limiter no longer working? Since it all links back to the base game, should I be running it from there? This game is really empty though, for the seconds I did play. It really doesn't feel like an expansion pack, there's no major feature.

Try later to link the Frame Limiter to "TS3W.exe" instead.
This is now the default executable that will load the game.
No longer the latest EP/SP executable.

"File not found." Or I do something wrong?

As I said, it's working fine in here.

I'm not much of a modder, but it doesn't seem to have a GameplayData.package, so I have no idea how to update my out of date mods to be compatible.

It is now linked to Base Game package.
Those files were always duplicates, but now they used they brain at last.

link does not work  Huh

Working fine in here.

TSGEN itself updates the game to 1.21.123.0110XX, this patch might be an "urgent" fix for the EP.
Though I am surprised the expansion itself is only 1GB.  [3.5GB Cumulative MAC Updates + ~0.5GB Cumulative PC Update]
Either EA has learnt how to optimize their coding, or this expansion really doesn't add anything in core, most likely the second.

It looks that way for now, but I suspect that there are more to come...

One bug that they still haven't fixed in this patch is that outdoor lighting still only illuminates the ground floor!

Ever since WA came out they still haven't. Oh, dear EA.

My pc can see about 4gb of ram, I haven't tried it with an additional two gigs yet, we were having motherboard issues, so removed quite a bit in the diagnosis stages. Vista Home premium SP2, AMD Anthlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.50 GHz, Ati Radeon HD 3870. My system isn't top of the line by far, but not bad, only sims games give me any problems(with or without CC). I do run a crap load of CC at a time, so I can't comment on load time, if it loads in under 25 minutes I consider it a win. I would say that even without CC it can take over ten minutes to get into my test hood. It doesn't have much in it other then a lot of random buildings and a handful of sims. I use the hood to build houses in to move to other hoods or just test CC.
I actually wouldn't have taken issue with the LAA on the Sims 2 at all if it hadn't caused my browser to practically not function, my hood view was less laggy though.

No matter how much memory your system have, The Sims 2 is a software developed in 32-bit plataform.
The LAA executable flag will only allow it to allocate the maximum memory that a 32-bit executable can allocate, which is 4096MB;
That is even IF your Operational System will be kind enough to allow it to fully allocate that.
And I didn't even mentioned the engine cache limit, not sure if you can modify that in The Sims 2 though.

At least this patch seems to fix something rather than 3 bugs, differently from last ones whose were just for compatibility.
And they didn't fixed that damn light issue, how long will they take to fix that.

Made the remaining High Rise buildings and the Trash Chute available in the Misc Debug section of Build/Buy mode for advanced users.

Didn't someone made a mod for that already?

I've updated the Patch Table Generator and Patch Link Generator in case anyone uses that.

It's not dead. It's just unavailable at the moment, you will have to try it later.
Use jDownloader, makes your life much easier.

You know why your downloads go slowly? You keep looking at them. Mine always go quickly, even on "slow" torrents, because I just queue them and forget about 'em.

Fact.  Grin

Part 2 is up, uploading part 3, finish it in some minutes.

I am uploading the scene release to Megaupload, but with the updates removed, so it's only 2.43Gb.
If anyone wants to wait, it's still uploading.

Part 2: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1I6U7F3Z
Part 3: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJSE7VFV

Extract all files with WinRAR, keygen at <DVD>\Crack;

Total of three parts. Two of 950MB, one of 600MB.
14  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Late Night Arr on: 2010 October 27, 05:24:34
Okay. 4.32Gb of updates in the Support folder. Great.
15  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Late Night Arr on: 2010 October 26, 23:51:41
I was going to get from a private one but I usually get it from HTTP also.

Almost 400 leechers, only me, Chris and someone else seeding this.
This is why I hate to get it from torrent.

Plus, the "REAL" size of this expansion should be around 4.5Gb, removing the updates that must sum around of ~2Gb (~1Gb Win, ~1GB Mac).
Likely Fast Lane which we had to download the original scene release of 2.4Gb when is actually 300MB.

Ah, you mean "normal mapping". From what little I've seen of the muscle slider when I played with it earlier, it appears to be a normal map that reflects light pretty well in CAS, but I haven't seen it in-game though, so it could possibly look like shit.

In game I did not saw any kind of reflection, but it's definitely the normal, which causes this depth look into it.


Yes, that must be it was she was referring to.
I doubt the engine uses this technique.
17  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: New Patch 1.17/2.12/3.8/4.5/5.2 on: 2010 October 26, 23:26:12
No, not specular...I can't remember the name to find a video of what I mean.

In games like Oblivion, the wall can look like a bunch of stones on top of each other, and when you get closer and look up, it looks like they're all actually rendered in 3D, everything looks 3D. And if you hold up a lamp, the light goes off on them the right way, but then when you go to the edge of the wall you can see it's completely flat.

The images of the muscle definition seem to look like they work the same way. They're flat, yes, but from different angles and with different lighting, they look like they're actually 3D and projecting proper shadows, despite being the exact same shape as a non-toned sim.

I was just wondering if they did that, or if I was imagining it, but I'm pretty sure there's some kind of visual trick going on with them to make them look 3D.

I think you are referring to DX11 feature, Tesselation.
Though this wasn't present in Oblivion. lol

Only thing there was there was High Dynamic Range (HDR), might be it?

Does light work on the muscle definition? From screenshots it looks to be that fancy texture effect where it's a flat texture, but lighting still works properly on it. I can't remember the name of this (Not bump mapping...more complex than that).

Don't quite understand what you mean, are you referring to specular reflection or the halo?
I did not noticed anything on that...
But this is a good idea for a mod. Are halo part of acessories/clothing too?

Oh and the water effects are amazing, it ddn't caused much impact on the game, well that depends on the machine too.
I am really liking the new features, the game is going for the better lately.
And the performance seems to be better too in some aspects, not overall though.
20  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: New Patch 1.17/2.12/3.8/4.5/5.2 on: 2010 October 26, 22:58:27
It is actually annoying how they don't fixed the lightning yet.
Pretty sure they are aware of this, this problem is present since the launch of WA.



Can it be that hard to fix this? Or are they just lazy?

Plus, the muscle tone is pretty lame, it's just an overlay of a texture and the slider control it's opacity.
I thought they were going to make it inflict directly into the body mesh, but I guess they want it to be reliable to every user.
Doing the other way would increase the polygons to load much more and is something unnecessary since we won't be looking at every detail of a Sim. I know I would not.
21  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: New Patch 1.17/2.12/3.8/4.5/5.2 on: 2010 October 26, 17:59:03
If you need other regions:

http://www."http.com//


...uh

I fixed it, MATY adds the protocol automatically, did not knew that.
// I need to fix some thing on the script, will be allowing it soon. Done.
// Beware, one comma can ruin everything.

I just installed LN and game updated to 6.0.81.009001

Thanks, mistyk.

For who have so much trouble, you have two options, make a bat that will read and decrapify all .Sims3Pack in the current folder:
Code:
FOR %%i IN (*.Sims3Pack) DO s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"

Or, one that you drag only the .Sims3Pack you want for it to decrapify in the bat:
Code:
FOR %%A IN (%*) DO s3rc.exe -fD %%A

Some .Sims3Pack do not pass on the Launcher by only decrapifying, it's recommended that you use s3rc.exe executable with the arguments "fD" (Fix, Decrapify); instead of just using "D" or directly with decrapify.exe
