Ultimate Fix, Batch file.

Hello,

It seems to me a lot of people do have issues with doing the Ultimate Fix correctly, I have made some simple batch files to overwrite files, made one to start the installation processes for expansions. So I figured I should do one for the Ultimate Fix, since I'm going install it on two of my friend's computers this weekend, so just wanted something to do correctly, and not have to mess around with.

At the time of this writing I haven't started working on it, since I want to do a typical installation so I would use that settings.

So I'll edit this post after I manage to install, and make the batch file.

Edit: I did a installation of everything then I made the batch file, and ran it, and now can play the Sims 3, and didn't have to do any moving of files, (expect that I did move instead of copy, so I had to put the few files back into the Ultimate fix folders.)

Below is the batch file's instructions, not the prettiest, but it did fine.

32-bit Version

Edit: added the 64-bit one.
Edit: Updated code in both, like fixed the (x86) needs to be a space after the Files, and added Seasons, and 's to katy Perry's. And added another \Bin to the earlier Expansion.
Edit: Fixed some typo's in my edit message.
Edit: Made a improvement with the spacing, just displays a blank line instead of text.

Hello,

Looks good! (Haven't tested it yet, but I'll do so tomorrow, probably)

But what if one doesn't have a specific expansion, it will still put back the original files for that game, right?
If so, you should let it go through some kind of menu. (E.g. "Do you have World Adventures installed? Yes/no." If yes, the original files for that expansion are put back. If no, that step/folder is skipped.

If the folder isn't available, nothing is put in. Don't have World Adventures, you probably won't have a World Adventures folder, so you can't save a file there, so 0 files are copied, for the two files related to that expansion.

I wouldn't mind doing it that way, just I haven't looked how to do yes/no, so didn't want to try to add it in, since for my use I wasn't expecting it was going to be needed, since all was a yes.

Will have to make another for x64 bit OS's, but that won't be nearly as hard. Just replace all Program Files with Program Files(x86) or so.

I just kinda wish I knew a more pretty way of using current drive/location then the "%~dp0" Since it does a double \ on each line, not that it seems to matter, just looks weird.

Break-down of a line.
copy /y "%~dp0\Base game\TS3.exe" "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin"

copy, well yeah it copies the file.
/y, to ignore prompting the user to replace/whatever if there is a file with the same name there.
"%~dp0\", Only way I know how to pick the current drive/location.


Oh, also if you want to use it. It has to be in the Ultimate Fix Folder, so where the #Installation Guide.pdf is.

Edit: I would also say probably need a origin base file and such, so might have to figure out how to do the prompts, of like 32/64, and g4tw/store bought/origin base, or something like that, but will need to learn more about batch files, and get feedback to see how I should word it.

Yeah, It took me all of a couple minutes to do it, I didn't put much thought into the wording, just put in lines where I thought when I was writing it where questions might be. So I'll have to read it again, and see where stuff can get fixed in.

Oh, umm I changed World Adventures Expansion to just World Adventures. -- Going Edit it in the code after I post this.

Edit: Wait, or that is just with the files extracted from the .rar right? I didn't edit it, since I think how I have it is right.

I played around with it some more today, and fixed up some issues I ran into.

Also, updated to have the folder name contain Seasons.

-- Just to let you guys also know, it needs to be in the extracted folder from The Ultimate Fix.rar, no idea why I forgot to mention that.

Edit: Figured out how to mostly hide the paths and such, but still shows if the files were copied or not. Will post them below.

Edit: Why haven't I said it needs to be in the same folder as your extract The Sims 3 Ultimate Fix.
