Roller Coaster main web page, download and manual.Ī fully functional roller coaster for your Sims to enjoy. You can now forget about what path a utility is looking for as “~\Documents\EA Games\The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection\Downloads” and “~Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads” both refer to the same folder. So we can use a symbolic link to make older utilities believe our UC game is a CD gameįrom the Start menu / search area, locate “Command Prompt”, right-click on it and select “Run as administrator” This is NOT a copy, just two ways to refer to the same folder on the disk. What not a lot of people know is that it’s possible in Windows (for a very long time) to create what is known as a “symbolic link” which gives us the ability to give a single directory two different names/paths.
The CD version uses “~\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2″ whereas UC uses “~\Documents\EA Games\The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection” (the coding genius that stuck an extended character into the path name needs a serious talking to!)
OK, so anyone using UC knows about the pain the different file path it uses to the CD version of the game causes.
