Custom Loading Screen Plugin for Sims2RPC

Custom Loading Screens and Music - A Sims2RPC Plug-In

If you start your game with the "Sims2RPC Mod Launcher" by Lazy Duchess AND you want custom loading screens and/or music à la the "LoadingRandomizer2" launcher by greatcheesecakepersona but are struggling to get them to play nicely together, this plug-in may be for you.

If you don't start your game via Sims2RPC.exe from Lazy Duchess, this plug-in is definitely not for you!

This plug-in for Sims2RPC incorporates the random loading screen and random splash music functionality of the "LoadingRandomizer2". This means that you can continue launching your game via Sims2RPC while enjoying random bespoke loading screens and music.

It also adds the ability to link a piece of music to a specific loading screen, enabling you to theme the screen and music together.

Why Do This?

Sims2RPC is a launcher for The Sims 2 that supports plug-in extensions. Current extensions include support for First-born Syndrome Fix, Separates 4 All, Height Mod, etc.

Using another launcher to first copy a random loading screen or music file and then launch the Sims2RPC launcher seems overly complicated and error-prone, when the "first copy a random loading screen or music file" functionality can be written as a Sim2RPC extension.

Installation

Installation is non-trivial and requires any custom loading screens to be uninstalled first. Full details are given on the web page.

Hey, I've been using Sim2RPC and I noticed a lot of newborns being clones of one of the parents, most often just the firstborn. I don't know if this is a bug and something that can be fixed or basic TS2 behaviour as I just begun playing it after years, but I just wanted to let you know that I noticed that

Hi!

That is a vanilla TS2 bug but Sims2RPC is supposed to fix it as long as you have the "randomizer.asi" file inside of your TSBin/mods folder. Try turning off your antivirus when you play and see if the problem persists, and check if the console when you open Sims2RPC mentions that randomizer.asi was loaded.

Custom Loading Screens and Music - A Sims2RPC Plug-In

Now remembers the last selected screen and music file and skips them on the next load - so you should never see the same loading screen, nor hear the same loading music, twice in a row.
