Just a sandwich shop. Must've slipped some aphrodisiac ingredients in there.

Note that it will start various processes that you may not want, like weather or aging of objects. I use this often to walk around a lot to try new things, but rarely save the result. It works only once or a few times if I save. Two occasions where I used it was where I started fireplaces and set intersection on a door to allow it to close.

I found something, not exactly while playing it... more like while digging through game files as I like doing.

I believe I discovered an unused song not even The Cutting Room Floor knows about... or I'm way too young to know where it perhaps was used after all.

Embedded within the base game's Splash.package is a second splash song you - to my best knowledge - never hear in the actual game. It's a loop of exactly 1:00 minutes and features vocals just like Lemon Jelly's "Sim Time Sim Place" remix that was featured in CAS and the splash screen of Nightlife.

Personally I think it's pretty rad, a lot more lively than the actual Sims 2 base game splash song. (University's loading screen music is still the top pick for me though!)



EDIT: Turns out it's actually just the Credits song. Why it's in Splash.package though is beyond me. Thanks for the heads-up, everyone!

Would be cool if they played random music. Any music that is not the current EP would seem brand new. Someone posted a mod that dynamically alters game files in the installation directory to achieve this. But that seems like a dangerous approach for a little flavor.

I like how you can add any of the localized pop songs like Suburbia and get them to play on the radio channels in en-US.

It can actually be heard in-game! If you open the options mode (the ... button) and instead of exiting, click the plumbob (or if your game is only a few early EPs, the Maxis logo). The song plays when you're reading the credits.

I love that, don't think I've heard it before!

D'oh, well I must have heard it in-game then, I've definitely read the credits! But admittedly not for a while...

Great find anyway, LimeyYoshi!

Ah, so that’s why I didn’t recognise it, and that explains why it’s not on TCRF :D
I intentionally worded it in a careful way because I thought other people may know more about the song.
I should really check the credits out. Thanks for the heads-up.

I've got the mod you mean, and have used it for a while, but I have recently switched it to the RPC plugin that got released so I don't need a separate .exe for the purpose, and this RPC plugin also has the advantage of making a backup of the original Splash.package for you so then you can go back seamlessly. I do not think there is any major danger in this. Tools like Scriptorium or CEP do way more changes to the game installation than the loading screen/music randomiser does, anyway.
