Registry issuess (about language). [SOLVED]
by Guest Wed 25 Sep 2013, 20:24
Hi again, the previous time I installed sims I had asked whether it was possible to change the language (https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t7445-change-languange-possible-solved)
I tried doing the same now for the expansions I have installed and.. there is practically nothing to be edited.
No country showing, no SKU no nothing.
All expansions including base game all show :![Registry issuess (about language). [SOLVED] 348iqz7](https://2img.net/h/oi43.tinypic.com/348iqz7.png)
Also, each directory has a "ergc" under it :![Registry issuess (about language). [SOLVED] 2iix5y9](https://2img.net/h/oi39.tinypic.com/2iix5y9.png)
And all of these ergc show something like this : which I figure is the serial code for each expansion.
Now these only mean 1 thing to me and that is that I messed up!
Any ideas?

Hello,
What do you see if you click on the folders with the names of the expansions ? This means, don't click on "ergc".
So if you for example click on "The Sims 3 Island Paradise", you should see an entry called "Locale". Double-click on it and change the value to el-GR. (Greek) And do that with the base game and all expansions you installed.
And normally, that should do, but please let us know.
//EDIT
If there is really nothing there, what language shows up in your game ? If you really want to change it, you may have to re-install everything again, and choose the right language from the beginning...

Dear Carlos, like I said above ALL expansions and base game show the same thing.
No Locale no country showing and no SKU either, only that 1 line and nothing else.

Alright, I just wanted to be 100% sure I understood you correctly. But like I said then, if you really want to change the language, then you might have to re-install all the games, and choose your preferred language then (unless someone else has a better idea).

The reason why they were not shown is that you didn't run the registry editor as administrator. This sometimes happens to me too, when the pop-up asking you to run as administrator disappears.

If THAT is really the problem..then I haven't thought about it - because I changed my "User account type" long ago already. So basically everything I do on my computer is done with Admin privileges.
To avoid future complications, open the "Start" menu, then go to Control panel/User accounts/User accounts/Change your account type and then choose "Administrator". And normally that should do.
//EDIT
Hm, I just ran the computer on another account, without Admin privileges. And the registry entries do show up with me, but maybe there are other reasons for that problem here...

You can actually turn off these "pop-ups". Control panel/User accounts/User accounts/Change User account control settings. Then choose "never notify me"; don't know if that's what you mean though.
But whether you actually get these "pop-ups" or not, you can still run the computer on an Admin account; these things seem to be independent of each other.

Hey there,
I think you have gone through the wrong registry. You should
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Sims if your pc is 32-bit. Don't expand the folder Electronic Arts!
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Wow6432Node >> Sims if your pc is 64-bit. Again not the folder "Electronic Arts".

Thank you again for your assistance, my Game and all the expansions are in English.
For some weird reason when I edit the locale REG_SZ to en-UK my game kept crashing.
So I had to use the en-US instead . Not that I mind I just found it weird.

Just for the record, this is in so far interesting as there is no "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Sims" location, if you have a 64-bit system, actually. There is only the "Wow6432Node"-thing...
But it's good that the topic creator still managed to solve the problem in the end.
