I was hunting around for some things to download and at one of the adult sites I found someone offering a hack of an adult nature that modified the scrolling text the game displays while loading with “Adult Language.” It was an interesting idea but it only worked for FFS, was a little crudely worded and the pedants were raking the maker over the coals for his/her misspellings. I thought that perhaps there may be interest in a similar hack for general audiences, specifically InSim members, so I made these. Instead of the default text which is funny for a day or two but gets old after time, you get the following (same for all versions and it also will of course get old after time):   Waking up the Reaper
Loading Kathy's Basement
InSimenating the InSimenator
Error-proofing the Forum Database
Lowering Ethical Standards
Corrupting Your Downloads
You Didn't Need that File Did You?
Ruining Your Sims Lives
Making Doors Stick Open
Reformatting Your Hard Drive
If you should tire of these, by all means open the file in SimPe, click on the “EP/SP Startup Strings” file for the newest expansion/pack that you have and change the text to whatever you like.

Only download the file that corresponds to the latest expansion you have. There is no file for the holiday pack, sorry but that one I don’t have. The expansions in order:
TS2 - base game
UNI – University (EP1)
NL – Nightlife (EP2)
OFB – Open for Business (EP3)
FFS – Family Fun Stuff (SP1)
GLS – Glamour Life Stuff (SP2)
Pets - (EP4) link Thanks to Sadie79 for making the Pets version as I refuse to buy it
Seasons - (EP5)

This file goes in your downloads folder. It is a direct copy of the original file Maxis included with the base game and each succeeding expansion/pack, with changes made to the text strings. Anyone with knowledge of the game’s file structure should be able to make their own version of this if they don’t like mine (or just alter mine.) Should you need to remove it or wish to alter it, its name is UIText.package. If you upgrade your game and come back for a later file, simply extract the new file to your downloads folder and allow it to overwrite.

Thanks to  woohoo1353 at Sexy Sims 2 for the idea.

Glad you enjoyed it Smiley  I'm still wondering why it takes so long to lower ethical standards though - for me it should be instantaneous Cheesy

Thank you very much Micco. You don't need to make one for the Holiday Party Pack, it just kind of installs into the base game and does not edit the loading screen.

Good Idea! My old system takes a bit time to load and no matter if you don't want, you keep up reading the stupid rolling.
