Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: Triple_sSs on January 31, 2007, 06:14:22 pm Another very-much-smaller tutorial for getting rid of that opening movie which was cool on that "first play," but is probably by now a complete waste of load time. :smt120
1. Go to the EA Games folder where you have TS2 installed, (Not the folder in "My Documents") and then to the base game folder. 2. Now go to TSData\Res\Movies. 3. Look for a .movie file named "intro_eng_audio" (The "eng" part in the file name might be different depending on your game language) 4. Move, delete, or rename this file. And that's it! You'll no longer have to click the mouse at the Maxis logo again! :cheers: Also, if you wish to take out the little EA logo movie as well, repeat the same steps as above except go to the game folder of your latest EP or Stuff Pack installed, and look for a .movie file named "ealogo_audio." You may need to repeat these steps if you install a new EP or SP since there might be a new EA logo movie file in the new pack. And as for removing the Maxis logo at start-up, that goes beyond me, unfortunately. :dontknow: Once again, happy loadings! ;) Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone!

Although one can simply click when the movie comes up to make it go away... Well, after two years of doing that, it begins to become somewhat of a chore. And if you go off to let your game load unattended, it just takes longer because it plays that movie if you don't click it. That's why I wanted to find out how to stop this. :) Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: summer_wine on February 05, 2007, 11:30:24 pm Thank you!
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: brooke_82 on February 06, 2007, 05:44:18 am I could kiss your feet. I was just thinking yesterday about how that movie drives me bonkers!!
Love it, thankyou!! Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: Sein on February 07, 2007, 07:05:04 pm Oh my god, I love you. That video drives me bonkers!
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: aliencrush on April 02, 2007, 05:05:03 am Triple cheers for Triple S! I have soooo had it with that movie. My teen will be bummed though, cuz he's made a mini-game of trying to freeze the movie at particular shots... too bad for him mwah ha ha :)
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: pantherprincess on April 12, 2007, 12:11:02 pm ...doesn't it load while the movie plays? I thought it did. It seems to take the same amount of time to load whether to movie plays or not... *shrug* It could be that I have 2435457567 downloads and it takes three years anyway so I just didn't notice...

Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: Tenshii~Akari on April 17, 2007, 10:41:24 am This has made my day! :angel: Thanks for the info!
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: kere on May 14, 2007, 11:19:50 pm This is very helpful to know! I find it disappointing they never bothered to update the loading movie. Im wiping it :D
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: BlooM on May 19, 2007, 07:22:22 am Lol, i tried this and the movie/logo intro kept comming.
After a bit surching the movies and logo were in the sims2/TSData/Res/Locale/Dutch(or other country) You might wanna look there if they keep comming back :) Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: Nukapei on April 11, 2008, 10:21:39 pm Thanks so much! I absolutely ADORE this. Like Kere, I think it absolutely silly that they never bothered to update the load movie with every new EP. Why not, they do it with the load screen? And if I want to go do something while I wait for it to load, I either have to stick around to click and/or hit spacebar at the EA Games logo, or just endure the longer load time. THANKS SO MUCH!!
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: YANFRForm on April 12, 2008, 12:07:25 am I just tried this out, and I discovered I had 112 of the EA logo movies wasting 232mb of space. WTF? I deleted ALL of them! Woot!

Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: sparkle777uk on April 12, 2008, 08:56:33 am This I got to have ...lol

Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: John55 on April 12, 2008, 10:58:07 am I thank you. My mouse finger will thanks in clicking the mouse to much. My Wife will thank you.
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: ZombieRain on April 12, 2008, 10:59:40 am Bravo! Thank you so much!
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: lydynred on April 12, 2008, 11:39:19 am Thanks, I hated that part of the game. I would usually click it when it started, which ment that i would have to sit and wait for it to come up.
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: discowhipped on April 13, 2008, 05:39:23 pm Thanks so much! I was also hoping they might update the movie with at least one expansion pack, but no. Now it is gone! I'm free! No longer a slave to my mouse... Yay! Yeah I'm a little excited.
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: Triple_sSs on April 13, 2008, 08:02:40 pm YAY, this got promoted! Lol, thanks.
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: xox_loey on April 15, 2008, 06:12:42 am Fantastic! I hate that when I load up the game, I have to hang around to do the other click to stop that video playing... so unnecessary. Sure, most the time by the time I return to the computer the video will have played itself out already... but it's just the principle! Thanks!
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: tophatdan on April 20, 2008, 06:23:01 pm i dont imagine ea games likes you taking their ads off of their games, i mean yeah its a little anoying but just push the ESC button like twice and it skips it anyway.... just my opinion....
Title: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: BlooM on April 20, 2008, 06:26:54 pm yes, but your always to late and then that annoying EA message is already in my head lol.
Title: Re: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: imdvine on December 17, 2008, 11:08:25 am Once I buy it it's my game and I shouldn't have to deal with their "AD" every time I want to play I've seen the movie I know who created the game, it's on the box and the in game credits section. The movie was cute the first three times and now, thank god, it's gone.
Title: Re: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: ThatScaryChick on March 21, 2009, 09:16:55 pm Thank you for this! I know that you can just click on it and it will just go away, but this is much more convenient.
Title: Re: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: Mr.T on September 02, 2009, 05:02:32 pm I felt like wacking my monitor with a seal club every time that stupid movie played and wasted my virtual memory. Now my machine is no longer in danger! Thank you!
Title: Re: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: Lightning on November 15, 2009, 09:01:19 pm Thank you so much! I HATED that I had to press the enter key on my keyboard everytime that EA logo popped up.
Title: Re: Micro-tutorial: Loading movie, be gone! Post by: delilah_ross on November 21, 2009, 09:18:00 am You don't need to remove this. You can just click on the screen before the movie starts.. It will directly go to loading screen. ;)
