Ah, okay, thank you so much! So it’s updated or do I need to fiddle around with the patch to get it to work?

Replies!

No need to feel like a stalker! And I just have to say that the amount of work and detail you put into that neighborhood is awesome!

It is, isn’t it?

moudschegiebchn said: Yup, fraps only takes a pic of the game and not your desktop. 🙂 I’ll use it myself and play in window mod and everything works fine. Oh, and there’s some program which alows you to play the game full screen in exact the size your screen acutally is. I don’t know if it’s working, my oldold PC couldn’t handle it. ^^ Maybe you wanna try that?

Hm, the widescreen issue isn’t too bad. As long as the screensaver program is working, I’m happy. 😀 But I might have a look at that programs…

didilysims said: Windowed mode doesn’t fill the screen for me either. I think it’s because screens were smaller when the game came out and not widescreen. If you use Fraps, it should just take a picture of what’s inside the game screen, not the stuff outside.

Oh yes, they were. My parents were talking about this the other night actually! 😀

Really? That’s great! *goesdownloadsfraps* 

drewcricket said: HAHAHA I know how you feel. New gpu = AWESOME. If you go to game settings, you can change screen resolution. Should change the window size.

It’s actually my first “real computer” (the former whom I nicknamed “Frankenstein” because it was revived atleast 3 times was an office laptop, sooo it had good intentions but wasn’t really good for gaming), so I’m pretty psyched right now. It’s very fast and just great. (And expensive for a soon-to-be college student, but absolutly needed).

Unfortunatly it’s already the highest setting I could select… I could probably even live with that, but I thought of starting to use Fraps or something to take my screenshots (I used the in-game cam *gasp* until now), so I’ll either have to crop them/edit the borders out or play in full window mode- which wouldn’t be to bad. I guess that’s a problem with a widescreen.

(Sorry for that text wall, I tend to get really chatty when I’m excited…)

didilysims said: You need the _EnableColorOptionsGMND.package (I think that’s the one—sounds right) that is a file that comes with the CEP, I believe.

Hm… I probably forgot to add it… Off I go to search for it! 🙂

Edit: Ha, found it. I forgot to put the zCEP-EXTRA into my new Sims 2 folder. *blushes*

didilysims said: Ha, I know the feeling. But it won’t be long before we’re both missing these idle summer days, I’m sure! At least you’re being productive, though, playing music. I should probably practice more myself…

Oh yes! Well, the last time I played the violine was when I lived in Newsealand. And that was nearly three years ago! (Needless to say as I was out of shape even back then, it wasn’t that pleasant…)
