Theres a huge advantage of having a legit game - you can update it through EA app/Origin/Steam. So if you own a legit game but don't have it installed - install it first. You can set it up in two ways: legit game + pirated DLCs or legit and pirated games in the same folder.
Legit game + pirated DLCs: for this you need to use the DLC Unlocker (v2 is much better and easier to use). Steam version still uses EA app/Origin so the Unlocker will work on it too. Pros: you don't have to wait for the crack; when there's a new DLC you just download it. Cons: you're using your legit account so there's always a risk - nobody got banned since I posted the first version of the Unlocker in March 2020 but I can't say it's 100% safe.
Legit and cracked games in the same folder: make sure your legit game is up-to-date and then use my repack or Sims 4 Updater. They will put the cracked exe in The Sims 4\Game-cracked\Bin\TS4_x64.exe, use it to start the game. Pros: you can play offline, without EA app/Origin. Cons: you need to wait for the crack.
If you don't have the game installed yet - install it with my repack. If you have the game but it's not the newest version (doesn't matter who you got it from) - update it with Sims 4 Updater. If the download speed is too slow - you can also update your game by installing the patch from my repack - just follow the interactive instructions.
Cracked version for Mac doesn't exist. All you can find is a Windows version of the game running through Wine/Wineskin/Crossover. I don't have it on my website, try downloading the game from NMac instead. Better solution - get the legit base game, it's free.

Hi! Probably an easy fix to this but I'm not able to figure out how... When you run ts2 in bordeless-mode (and windowed-mode also for that sake) - is there any way to get the sim and buy-boxes larger? They are so tiny on my computer that u almost need to use a microscope to see them - regardless of how you mess around with the graphics-options. If you lower the resolution only the big "playing-square" got smaller and you see a big part of the background on your computer. U know how to fix this?
hi, i'm a sims 3 player who wants to get into the sims 2 for the first time. i found your github (ultimate collection installer) but none of the downloads are working for me. i've tried them on three different browsers but nothing works. the web installer doesn't download, nor does the standalone installer. i even tried downloading the web Installer game files but they didn't download either. idk if this is something on my end, because my wifi loads literally everything else. please help
Hi Osab! I saw your post about being able to play with smooth edges on now with the 6.0+ version of reshade but for some reason the depth buffers stop working as soon as I turned on smooth edges in the game settings. I have disable dirty rec in GRM and use version 6.1.0 reshade if that matters. Thank you!
Ofc! On older versions of ReShade, you had to turn off the game's anti-aliasing/"smooth edges" to make the depth buffer work. Depth is needed for a lot of effects like ambient occlusion/mxao, depth of field, etc..
So if you wanted to get rid of the jaggies while using depth effects, you had to use a AA filter in ReShade instead (like FXAA or SMAA), which is a lot less effective and blurs the entire screen, including the UI.On the newest update, they fixed it so that you can use the in-game smooth edge setting with any effects you want, making post-process AA filters unnecessary. All you need now is "Disable dirty rectangle optimizations" in Graphics Rules Maker for depth to work.
I normally don't do this, but please do not download this CC pack. It not only has some of my default hairs which I explicitly asked people not to reupload, but entire 4t2 packs, clothes, mods and what look like bodyshop installations.
it's also highly dangerous to your game to download big repacks like this. i mean, if 'zz-Chicaloca-11' had a hidden pollination technician inside, i wouldn't even be surprised lol. and not there being a wrongly installed version of rug fix too ? it's too triggering...

The previous ask made me remember that it's possible to sort of mix different terrain types by editing the NeighborhoodTerrain.ini in the game files, too. Doing this instantly affects all the neighborhoods using the edited terrain type.
Also making one for Shin Megami Tensei V, sadly enabling TAAU crashes in this game and it only supports Gen4 TAA, but I'll keep working on it (and maybe vengeance will update the engine?). Balancing the ghosting/jitter in the older TAA is a CHALLENGE but I feel like it could still end up better than the shimmery fxaa if I keep messing.
hey! love the work in the ts2 starter pack. i just discovered wineskin for mac now supports dxvk/d9vk for directx games. could you help me with debugging why the game crashes on loading the title menu?
I've read that with each expansion pack that you install the longer load times will be (depending on your computer). I've looked at the specifications that are recommended, and my computer exceeds them however I'm skeptical. I'd rather not sink a lot of money on something that won't run well.
I figure that if I were to buy The Sims 3 plus all the expansion packs the minimum requirements would probably raise. So what are the minimum requirements to run The Sims 3 with all of the expansion packs installed and possibly some custom content as well?
The base game, plus late night and high end loft will run on 1.0GHz, as well as some of the others. Seasons, I discovered, needs 2.something, or the game just won't play. Also, be careful of windows 8.1. I was told by EA tech support that it can be problematic with sims 3.
