This is not so much for the early adopters, but for the people who will try The Sims 2 Legacy in a few months.

You can't just plop the SP8 folder into your game folder with all the rest. The game still won't see it. No, it needs the correct registry entries to work.

The instructions and necessary files are at GitHub.

For those with no access to an SP8 folder, I uploaded it to SFS. http://www.simfileshare.net/download/5266120/

Edit 12 Feb 2025: And other missing stuff. Missing song Instructions

Missing Songs download. You will need to use the instructions to put these files in the right place. They all go into TSData/Res/Sound, but for different EPs and SPs. I have indicated where each goes by adding it to the end of the file, for example CollegeRockEP1 and MetalSP6. You will need to rename them and remove that EP1 or SP6, after you put them in the right place. I had to do the renaming due to duplicate names.

I swear I spotted a pink and white-ish print-y style cover in the catalog. Page 163. Upon closer inspection, it's actually just solid pink. My imagination goes a little crazy.

IKEA SP required. HugeLunatic's Klippan repository fix recommended. Also suggested are HL's pillowless sofa and the armchair (pictured).

Edit: D'oh! Forgot the download.

Yet even more IKEA stuff! This time, not all of it requires the IKEA SP. Just most of it. :/ (I can haz addiction?)

The ULLGUMP and FERLE rugs are on the Organically Atomic rug mesh that came with Pets. (2x3 rectangular rug)

The VEMB, EIVOR CIRKEL, MILLINGE, and TRADKLOVER rugs are on the ULDUM mesh from the IKEA SP (2x2 square rug with multicolored square pattern)

My favorites, shown in the preview, are the IKEA VIRRING rugs which are found on the IKEA PS rug mesh (2x2 red circular rug) .
