This update speeds up the patching process (and the game) ever so slightly! There's still minor bugs.

Patches

  • New: Loading screens now upscaled
    • Turns out the game waits for the animation to finish. By default, our patch speeds up the loading screen by 15 FPS (30 → 45 fps) for a slightly quicker loading experience. This can be adjusted under the "Experiments" tab.
    • Thank you to @ammaraskar for the SimsReiaParser library which is used to process these files.
    • Technical details: e113174
    • It's not perfect. Some further work needed:
      • Sim portraits are not scaled (#65)
      • Text on the first game loading screen appears clipped (#66)
  • Bugs fixed from the original game (due to newer expansions)
    • Restore missing font attributes (#64)
  • Bugs fixed from our patches
    • Increase list box background height in Graphics Options (#15)
    • Improve spacing within Game Options (#64)
    • Skip patches for 800x600, in case your game resolution resets (#70)

Changes

  • Optimise the overall time by patching largest files first.
    • On my system, everything finished 9.47% faster. (Details)
