Google it. I found it on the first link. Maybe it wasn't Rufio's, but I think it would do the job just the same.

Yeah, I was hoping for somthing a little more informative I did find one place that had it, but it has to be a totally separate install, no O whatsoever. Takes more time than I want to put into it at the moment. Good to know there is something though. The game's not totally awful, but the palaver Origin put me through when I tried to load it up - took me about 2 hours to actually get the thing to start (password muddles). I think I still want to keep the original install so I can get patches etc? I need to think about this some more.

Anyhoo.

I owe you, I guess.

YARR?

IS there a way to play this game WITHOUT using Origin? Because that thing sucks as big as the flying pig.

Answers on a postcard please. The winner will get a Cream Egg!

Problem solved.

After installing Far Cry 5, my Sims 2 resolution is stuck at 800x600. I found out the problem is Microsoft Update KB2670838 that Far Cry Installs. When I remove the update, Far Cry won't launch. I tried to contact UBiSoft about this issue but their site is fucking retarded and you can't get a response. Any help here?. Sims 2 works fine after this update is removed.

Thank you so much. You pretty much saved my whole week! I thought it would be enough to uninstall using the Absolute Uninstaller, but clearly it wasn't. I went back and searched my whole computer for everything related to s3pe and deleted everything. Then I downloaded the no-install version and now it works flawlessly.

I can't even properly express how grateful I am right now. You truly aresome.

It looks like your user settings are fucked. They are not located in the same place as your install, just to be as annoying as possible, instead being buried in some random folder in your user directory in the mountains of trash every other program puts there.

Hey,

For several days now I've been unable to open s3pe. Everytime I try to it gives me this notification:

Unfortunately, I have no clue what that means. I googled it, I asked on MTS, I asked some friends, but I couldn't find a solution up to now.
I didn't install anything new before it stopped working, it was literally minutes after I had used it the last time that it wouldn't start anymore.

What I've tried so far:
- uninstalling and reinstalling s3pe (several times, different paths)
- restarting my PC
- wanted to do a system restore, but apparently I can't do that because no restoring point has bee created (shame on me)
- run CCleaner

I'm out of ideas right now. Maybe you know how to solve this problem? I'm not ready to give up yet!

Thanks for your time, and have a nice day! :-)

Thanks for the links- we were having a bit of a discussion here: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=623606

In this case, we're interested in the game's internal shaders- if we could get them opened up, things like the skin and hair shaders could potentially be edited.
