New tool for the Ultimate Fix
First topic message reminder :
Hey everyone!
So here we all are, trying to help people with the Sims 3, and as far as I am concerned, 75% of the problems we get is because the Ultimate Fix wasn't applied correctly. So I thought, what if it could become automatic?
So here is the Beta version of the Ultimate Fix Helper.
When you launch the app, here is what happens:
¤ It will scan your registry for installed games, and store the paths in a .txt file (so any external drive game won't be recognized). The Windows (oh yes, only works on windows ) has to be in English (the registry reads in English for now, but that could be changed over time). The game, however, can be installed in any language (at least I hope so).
¤ Then, it will ask for the unzipped Ultimate Fix folder. This is the folder containing all the Crack and games folders.
¤ Then you have a choice: either you can choose to update your game, and the app will copy the files from all folders except the Crack folder to their respective locations, or to play the game and it will do the same with the Crack folder.
Can you please test the app (I have tested it myself, and Admin did too, so it should be safe I'm not planting viruses into your hard drive )
Typical test scenario:
¤ Choose your Ultimate Fix
¤ Choose to update
¤ When it's done, apply a patch, or start the game and check for an error (like there should be!)
¤ Choose to play
¤ Start the game
Please comment below as to:
¤ If it works with a Windows with a different language than English (I doubt it strongly, but that would save me work **falsely hopping**)
¤ If you have a Windows with a different language, tell me and I'll ask you for stuff in the registry so we can make it multi language
¤ Any error that you get? I would like to make it as error free as possible
¤ If you have any ideas, comments, ... feel free to comment!
In the long run, it would be cool to automate the Ultimate Fix folder choice. But since the app keeps the install paths in store, putting it inside the Ultimate Fix folder would make it useless... So maybe we could ask to put the unzipped UF in the same folder as where they keep the app... What do you think?
I'm excited to hear from you all!!

Re: New tool for the Ultimate Fix
YES! Nailed it!
Now I know that you most probably won't do it right now because of the time it would require, but can you please test it with the game? With 1st button you shouldn't be able to play, with second button you would...

Re: New tool for the Ultimate Fix
Yes, I didn't make it do that. Oh, should I?
The tool merely applies the Ultimate Fix, i.e. copies files to the correct directories.
But I could probably do that...

If it's not too much work, it would be a nice touch.

Re: New tool for the Ultimate Fix
I know it's not important at all, but in the name of the program could the underscores possibly be taken out? Just wondering.
Thanks

Re: New tool for the Ultimate Fix
Yes. I will do those two things tonight!
Otherwise Scott, could you test it please?
//EDIT: The name of the application has now changed, and it launches the game if it succeeds!!
Please test it and tell me your results!

Re: New tool for the Ultimate Fix
Just tested it, and it runs perfectly for me. Replaces all the files nicely, and runs the game without much of a wait.
It kept telling me that I was missing a file, which I thought was odd, but when I checked, it turns out I was. For some reason Ambitions had no executable in the bin.

Re: New tool for the Ultimate Fix
Great! Thanks for the return!
The tool might be soon ready for public launch then...
//EDIT
Can more people test it and give me their result please?
I would rather make sure it's working perfectly before the release...

Hello there,
Just making sure, did anyone get the "Error During Startup" error after using this tool?

Hello,
I could test it with the new fix, I haven't patched yet.

Re: New tool for the Ultimate Fix
Do you have a Windows Explorer opened with the file? Like the folder D:\...\Game\Bin opened somewhere?

Hello,
Indeed, I do. But after clicking "continue" everything went as planned. And the crack is now in place. Good work!

Re: New tool for the Ultimate Fix
Thanks! Glad it did.
I will put it in the instructions (close Windows Explorer and the game...)
