I guess that depends on your card and system - I had to change both, still had the black box problem, though back then and needed the mod too. Somehow the black box thing has been fixed by something, so now I don't need the mod anymore. |
Thanks. It appears I just needed the graphic rules though if I run into issues i'll add the video cards.sgr too.
And I did track down what was giving it a hissy fit, some bookshelves

1 create a copy of the C: files
2 update the game through origin
3 decide origin launcher is really annoying
4 remove origin update
5 restore copy of original UC Files
would that work? I'm planning on updating to remove securom but if i find the nessacery launcher to be too annoying I plan on downdating from that and removing securerom via the other methods. would this work?

I suspected that it was on autoupdate.
Following the instructions over at leefish worked perfectly. I tried once a long time ago and failed or never really understood in the first place how to remove securerom by the leefish post. Then I forgot about it till i saw your thread.
Really should have persisted the first time though. 10 - 15 second per loading of build and buy vs the 2 mins and above with securerom. So much nicer.
Didn't really find the launcher too much of a problem, probably because I decided too go straight back to more non EA sources.
Also wanted to bump this back too the first page for people who haven't seen about the leefish solution but I didn't want to just write "bump" because that's just rude. So I subjected myself to a couple of hours of madness instead.

Now I'm facing the problem of Origin being forced to open up every time I start the game, and even popping up in front of everything else when the game is closed. Is there a way to start up Sims 2 without Origin interfering whatsoever? I looked at posts 13 and 14 but it doesn't seem to have a solution to this particular issue.

Finally got around to opening Origin and allowing it to update my Sims 2: UC. Had to fix a few nicks with the graphics settings and whatnot to fix the blocky water problem. Now I'm facing the problem of Origin being forced to open up every time I start the game, and even popping up in front of everything else when the game is closed. Is there a way to start up Sims 2 without Origin interfering whatsoever? I looked at posts 13 and 14 but it doesn't seem to have a solution to this particular issue. |
PMed you.
Edit: Or not, turns out I posted instead lol. I have PMed you now.

So If I duplicate the game files from the C: drive (...) |
(Because Origin puts me into Chuck Norris mode)
restoring old main executable will do the trick, if you previously applied 4GB path in any way (by script or manually) you should have back up file: the original. Apply 4GB patch on it again and just change names. Begone EvilArts!

My game was working OK . Ran the removal tool for Securom and installed a No CD patch but then I guess I went one step too far, I removed the Origin file. When I tried to start the game I got an error message saying I needed to reinstall the Origin file. Had Internet turned off by the way. Is there a way to run the game without the Origin Folder ??? |
I'm afraid not. The origin folder is required, I'm 99% sure.

There're workarounds, the simplest is restoring old, pre-messed executable, that "patch" does nothing except brain damage.
