Run FT/AL/M&G instead of new Store Edition
« on: 2009 March 17, 05:59:55 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

If anyone noticed, the new version of the Store Edition runs as the latest expansion pack instead of a stuff pack like when it was originally released. The Store Edition contains the lighting information for the buy mode objects (the new version adds the art nouveaulicious items among others), but there's no reason for it to run as the latest EP (short of giving you Suckurom when you run Sims2SC.exe). So here's the simple fix to make it act like it did originally, and run Freetime+ instead!

Save the following as fixit.reg in notepad then double click to add it to the registry, if you don't own an EP, just delete the text between the comas in EPsInstalled only. (ex. "Sims2EP2.exe,Sims2EP1.exe,Sims2.exe" becomes "Sims2EP2.exe,,Sims2.exe")

For 32-bit:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\The Sims 2]
"EPsInstalled"="Sims2EP1.exe,Sims2EP2.exe,Sims2EP3.exe,Sims2SP1.exe,Sims2SP2.exe,Sims2EP4.exe,Sims2EP5.exe,Sims2SP4.exe,Sims2SP5.exe,Sims2EP6.exe,Sims2SP6.exe,Sims2SC.exe,Sims2EP7.exe,Sims2SP7.exe,Sims2SP8.exe,Sims2EP8.exe,Sims2EP9.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 SE]
"Suppression Exe"="Sims2EP6.exe,Sims2SP5.exe,Sims2SP4.exe,Sims2EP5.exe,Sims2EP4.exe,Sims2SP2.exe,Sims2SP1.exe,Sims2EP3.exe,Sims2EP2.exe,Sims2EP1.exe,Sims2.exe"


For 64-bit:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA GAMES]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA GAMES\The Sims 2]
"EPsInstalled"="Sims2EP1.exe,Sims2EP2.exe,Sims2EP3.exe,Sims2SP1.exe,Sims2SP2.exe,Sims2EP4.exe,Sims2EP5.exe,Sims2SP4.exe,Sims2SP5.exe,Sims2EP6.exe,Sims2SP6.exe,Sims2SC.exe,Sims2EP7.exe,Sims2SP7.exe,Sims2SP8.exe,Sims2EP8.exe,Sims2EP9.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 SE]
"Suppression Exe"="Sims2EP6.exe,Sims2SP5.exe,Sims2SP4.exe,Sims2EP5.exe,Sims2EP4.exe,Sims2SP2.exe,Sims2SP1.exe,Sims2EP3.exe,Sims2EP2.exe,Sims2EP1.exe,Sims2.exe"

I never tried out the new Store Edition myself. Is that the difference between the new and old one is just some more lighting files for Art Nouveaulicious items? If so, I will simply stick to my old Store Edition! Thx for telling.

Argon (or anyone), did you run a diff on the MG->Store Objects.package?

The reason I ask is because of this comment concerning the new Store baby items...
Edit:  As far as EAxis goes, the really sad part is that unsuspecting players will pay good money for this, and if they don't own AL/M&G, it won't work at all for them.

If someone with the new Store is willing to mail me a copy then I'll run it myself.
