Hey,
So, if you don't know already, you can extract soundtracks from The Sims 2 game without installing it!
Basically the old method is that you copy the files from the installed directory of the game and rename those 'build', 'buy, 'cas', and 'neighborhood'.package files to .mp3 extension. Well that requires an installation of a program over a gigabyte in size, which is something that you don't want to do, just to get an mp3 file worth a few megabytes.
Let me tell you again, you don't need to install the whole game!
What you need is the complete installation package of The Sims 2; any expansion pack, but not stuff pack! Either downloaded via torrents or an old CD/DVD that you might have lying around.
No matter where you obtain the installation package, the method is the same. If what you have is a CD or DVD, insert it into the DVD drive of your computer. When an auto play window comes up, close it! Same goes for if you downloaded and mounted the iso file!.
If you got a compressed archive package, extract it to somewhere.
Once you are able to access the main installation folder of the game, find the file 'Compressed.zip'. Extract that file to somewhere, and go into TSData\Res\Sound folder. There you will find a bunch of .package files. The ones that you want is the ones with the name 'Build', 'Buy, 'Cas', and 'Neighborhood'. These are the main soundtracks of the game! Simply rename them to .mp3 and voila! You've extracted soundtracks from The Sims 2 in its original quality! Now you can use it for anything E.G for your rington (requires further editing) or for one of the songs in your movie projects!
Although some of you may argue that you can download soundtrack video clips from Youtube, but these are often with a modified sound quality, and so is no longer original, in other words, those you get from Youtube may not have the same quality as the ones extracted directly from the game, since those that you extracted from the game will be exactly what you will hear while playing the game, although the drawback to this is that if you no longer have the installation media, you will have to download everything again, which can be a waste of space and time and if you have a low hard drive space, then you may have to rely on Youtube videos, which like I said may not have the same sound quality as the ones you extracted from the game.
Now, on to the trolls update
Well, today I can say that right away in the morning the situation suddenly turned around; the morning today was like the situation has flipped completely to a different state within a matter of a single day of me being absent!
Basically their attack scheme is pretty typical; they attacked my blog posts as usual, and I find it quite weird, but that really puts me on alert that spies are always reading my blog when I am not aware. In fact, there is likely chance that the trolls are discussing about this yesterday when I am absent! And this very same thing might happen again on Friday and next Tuesday! Although eventually the situation calmed down and by day end things were pretty much back to normal.
Actually, I really want to demolish those spies that constantly reads my blog posts and use them to attack me groundlessly, because they're very annoying, but I don't know how to just go about that.
That's it for now...
