Hello,

Important!

Use this only with Sims 2 Ultimate Edition!

It fixes the problem with SimPE not finding the right directory structure from Sims 2.

SimPe has a check for the exe - files (Sims2.exe, Sims2EPn.exe, Sims2SPn.exe)


The solution comes with two files:
As the Ultimate Edition does not provide these (There exist nowhere the Tsbin\Sims2xxx.exe, but only the last one in Mansions) to pass SimPe's Check, I made this fake structure.
The other part is the Expansions.xreg in SimPE's Data Folder. Even there exists already a solution, I made this one working a bit better. Now all the directories are found at once without correcting the paths in SimPE.

Installation:

Provided are three files:
1) This readme.txt
2) DummyExeForSims2UC.zip
3) ExpansionsXREG_ForSims2UC.zip

Begin best with a backup of your Sims2 Folder & your SimPE Folder. If you should miss anything, then you can easy go back.


The DummyExeForSims2UC.zip goes in
.....\Origin\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

Here you extract the files. You will be warned that directories are overwritten. This will not happen, as the files does not exist yet there. So you can safely confirm and let it go.
Of course you can also extract the files somewhere else and copy it to the right place. If you are not sure how to copy files this is not for you :-)


The ExpansionsXREG_ForSims2UC.zip has to be extracted and goes into the SimPE Data folder
....\Simpe\data
it overwrites the existing expansions.xreg

When you start the SimPE, go to Settings and do the System Check.

If you did all correct, the check should show all green.


You do this all with your own risks. I will not take any responsibility for any harm you do to your Computer/Sims.

Again: USE THIS ONLY WITH ORIGINS SIMS 2 ULTIMATE COLLECTION, or you will bork up competely your Sims 2 Installation!


Have Fun!
