since this release
This is a preview release for keen players to try out The Sims 2 in 2K/4K if don't mind UI interface issues or potential gameplay regressions.
For example, you can't currently see the 📞 phonebook, who's furious 😠 with your Sim, and some things may appear small and squishy 📐.
Changes since v0.1.0
- Add support for The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection (Origin)
- Add support for The Sims 2 Starter Pack
- Add option to choose scaling (for 2K or 4K display)
- Add option to choose upscale filter (experimental)
- Update patcher interface layout and colours (experimental)
- Prevent unnecessary disk scanning if game folder input was left blank
- New project icon!
Technical changes since v0.1.0
- Optimise lookup for compressed packages
- Add compatibility for DBPF index 7.2
- Correct erroneous DBPF version for patched packages
- Game files patched with v0.1.0 were incorrectly written as DBPF v1.2 (instead of v1.1), although the game didn't complain.
- Internal refactoring to improve code readability
Upgrade notes
- ❌ This release doesn't introduce any new patches or fixes to the game experience.
⚠️ Running v0.2.0 will prompt to "update" (re-patch) everything due to structural changes to our metadata.- Apart from 1 byte, the patched packages are identical to v0.1.0.
- 🍃 To conserve energy/time, consider skipping this release to avoid re-patching for the same results as v0.1.0.
