Updated for Seasons: Splashscreen Text Change Hack

[kathy]

lmao Hilarious!

[Kamus4547]

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.

I know exactly what you mean! :cussing:  I usually go to another room while it's loading just so I won't read that one more time! :lol:
I'm so glad someone came up with another option. I was beginning to feel like I was being 'controlled' by the game or something. God forbid anything like that would/could happen, right? :wink:

Thanks for making this available. I suppose that if we like to rid of any text, replacing it with spaces will work, right ?

[psyhcopig]

Awesome.

:lol: I love it

Just an innocent and discompromissed question, will there be a Pets version?

Yes Since no one else has responded in a while, hope it's okay for me to upload?

Just plop it in your Downloads folder

Thanks for making that as I will not buy Pets. I linked to your download in the original post.

Updated original post with the download for Seasons as I found myself sitting, waiting and thinking "Just throw the damn snowball stupid! Calculating trajectories :doh:

Whoa dude, I can't believe I didn't find this before! Thank you! It really livens up the game, I was getting tired of reading about sales on reticulated splines. :]

You're welcome And thanks for updating it for Seasons - I'm already getting tired of the text :roll:

Posting more for bump reasons to catch the attention of the author:

The Seasons version doesn't work. It's still calculating snowball trajectories :?

[Micco]

You may want to try downloading again, the file I have as well as the file that is available for downloading both should have you either error-proofing the forum database or corrupting your downloads. Did you allow it to overwrite on the first attempt?

[Sam the T-man]

Downloaded again, let it overwrite, still gleefully stacking inventories :?

[Micco]

Ok, I'm assuming you have custom content enabled. A couple of things to try; first try deleting the UIText.package file from your Downloads, re-download and extract the file and try it.

If that doesn't work, select the drive you installed the game to, go to program files/EA Games/The Sims 2 Seasons/TSData/Res/Text. Find the UIText.package file and zip/rar it for a backup and then install the modified file there.

Let me know what happens please.

[Sam the T-man]

Ah, I know what's happened. I've got it open in SimPE as I type and I've been having a look - you didn't copy the string to all; I'm using the UK version, and the strings there haven't been changed

I'm going to have to remove the "Loading Kathy's Basement" string.

It's already too crowded down here, and Kathy keeps tripping when she comes down to whip her minions back in line.

Fortunately, I'm just repainting the place for her.

Stupid me, how could I possibly not realize that English meant American. Must be all those extra U's you use

I'll get these straightened out this afternoon.

@Cocytus: you might want to replace that with "Abusing Squinge"


Edit: Added strings for UK version to all files. Odd they did it that way as all the spellings were Americanized.
