Sim2 to DVD *Proper* and Working

[haani]

ok here it is i have modified it and it works

Steps to make to pass the SIM2 to DVD:

First it is to copy the content of sims2_1 (cd1) to a folder, like for example "SIMS2_DVD".
Now if you look at all the cd's there is a folder that is called "TSData" that contains another one
call "Control" and in this is a file "controlx.dat" --> where the "x" corresponds to I number 1, 2, 3.
Of this from:
Sims2_1
TSData/Control/control0.dat
Sims2_2
TSData/Control/control1.dat
Sims2_3
TSData/Control/control2.dat
Sims2_4
TSData/Control/control3.dat

What there is to do is to copy of each CD, (Sims2_2, Sims2_3, Sims2_4), the corresponding file "controlx.dat" in the folder that was created "SIMS2_DVD" that contains the folder "TSData", along with "control0.dat" of cd1 (Sims2_1).

Now we move to cd4 (Sims2_4) and copy all "xx_compressed.zip" to the main directory of the "SIMS2_DVD", these are:

cs_compressed.zip
da_compressed.zip
de_compressed.zip
in-uk_compressed.zip
es_compressed.zip
fi_compressed.zip
fr-fr_compressed.zip
it_compressed.zip
nl_compressed.zip
no_compressed.zip
pl_compressed.zip
pt-br_compressed.zip
sv_compressed.zip

Now you create another folder that is called "compressed".
Of cd1 (Sims2_1) you unzip the file "compressed.zip" in the folder "compressed" (keeping its structure).
Sims2_1
TSData/Res/
Sims3D
Sound
UserData

Of cd2 (Sims2_2) you decompress the file "compressed.zip" in the folder "compressed" (keeping and respecting its structure).
Sims2_2
TSData/Res/
Locale
Sims3D
Sound
UserData

Of cd3 (Sims2_3) you decompress the file "compressed.zip" in the folder "compressed" (keeping and respecting its structure).
Sims2_3
TSData/Res/
Catalog
LotTemplates
Movies
Sims3D
Sound
UI
UserData

Of cd4 (Sims2_4) you decompress the file "compressed.zip" in the folder "compressed" (keeping and respecting its structure).
Sims2_4
TSData/Res/ (21 folders and 1 file)
Catalog <-- Folder
........
........ <-- Folder
........
Wants <-- Folder
ContentRegistry <-- File

and in the main folder of sim2 cd 4 the contents are
Sims2_4
TSData/Sys/ (7 archives)
6 ini
1 sig

Sims2_4
TSBin/
1.0.0.932
ijl15.dll
Sims2.exe

Sims2_4
eaunistall.ico
Sims2_uninst.exe

Now we cut to the folder "TSData" of the folder "compressed", and we took it directory to the TSData of folder "SIMS2_DVD",
being left within there is something:

SIMS2_DVD
TSData/
Control
Head of cattle
Sys

The same we will do with the folder "TSBin" of "compressed", and we took it "to TSBin" of "SIMS2_DVD", is:

SIMS2_DVD
TSBin/ (44 archives)
41 archives
1.0.0.932
ijl15.dll
Sims2.exe

And as we come to the end of the process we move to the folder "compressed" copy the files "eaunistall.ico" and "Sims2_uninst.exe" to the main directory of "SIMS2_DVD".

In the main directory of "SIMS2_DVD" there is a file that has to be modified "common_filelist.txt".

Once modified, we have completed out the process of making the Sims 2 DVD.
