TS2 Enhancer
Ver. 1.4.1 released.
Version 1.4 includes compatibility updates
to allow TS2 Enhancer to work with the Pets Expansion. In addition to
updating to the new character format for all characters a limited number
of attributes are also available to change for the pets. In addition to
the compatibility update this version also includes a couple of small
fixes for other issues. The most substantial being an error that would
incorrectly prevent the main neighborhood file from loading in some cases.
Please note that unlike all previous
updates this version is not a free update. Those that have previously
purchased TS2 Enhancer will be able to purchase it at a discounted update
price though after providing proof of a previous purchase.

cause all languages other than US English to fail to display correctly.

TS2 Enhancer
Ver. 1.3.1 Beta 3 released.
In addition to the updates described in the
first 2 betas below
this update includes a correction for languages that should allow it to
correctly load all of the correct data for any given language. It is
unknown whether or not the data will display correctly in all of them
though. It has been checked in a few though and appears to display it
correctly. An update has been made to the progress bar to better reflect
the progress with loading data, a regression bug in the Vacation and
Pension data has also been corrected. (It slipped by when the University
update was made and has now been re-enabled) This release also corrects a
bug in Beta 2 that caused backups to fail when the backup location hadn't
been specified using the Change Backup Location.

TS2 Enhancer
Ver. 1.3.1 Beta 2 released.
In addition to the updates described below
this for Beta 1 update includes some minor interface updates and internal
routine updates. These should correct the issues with characters not
displaying correctly in descriptions as well. (This may also correct the
characters for Asian languages as well but I'm not sure) This version also
includes a new feature which allows backed up neighborhoods to be stored
in any location. I.E. You can use a different drive if you want to cut
down on space being used on the current drive. For those that already have
backups stored in the default location changing the location will also
give the option to move the old backups to the new location at the same
time. The Lot Managed Jobs in the career section have been updated as well
and the job levels updated to what I think are the correct descriptions.
(Unemployed, Employee, Manager) It also should update properly now so the
characters will get paid the correct amount if you give them a regular job
after they previously had a lot managed job. Some missing information for
University specific jobs (Hours and days worked) has also been updated.

TS2 Enhancer
Ver. 1.3 Beta 1 released.
This version is to bring TS2 Enhancer into
compatibility with the Open For Business Expansion. The initial release
only includes data changes where necessary to allow for the new formats in
this expansion. In addition to this a large portion of the program was
written over again to better deal with the growing variations that can
occur when various expansions are installed. This should result in easier
updates with future expansions as well. Keep in mind that the initial
release following beta will just be for compatibility and that another
release is planned following that to add more features. I.E. This version
is so everyone can use it now with the new expansion rather than wait for
the new features.

| TS2 Enhancer Ver. 1.2 released.
This version is to bring TS2 Enhancer
into compatibility with the Nightlife Expansion and enable new Nightlife
specific changes to be made when that expansion has been installed.
It also includes additional features for those using any previous game
version.
These include:
|
Family Tree's can now be edited instead
of just viewing them. |
|
New Genetics/DNA window which allows
changing the skin tone, eye color, and
hair color of the characters in the game along with the genetics
passed down to children. |
|
Cloning has been updated to include
Nightlife attributes. In addition the Genetics (DNA)
for the characters being cloned are now included in the clone. (Older
clones can still be
imported but they will not have the new attributes in them) |
|
Attraction Traits
Displayed in the Relationship window for both the selected character
and the relationship character. |
|
Turn Ons selection in the
relationship window for the selected character. |
|
Turn Off selection in the
relationship window for the selected character. |

Jobs. |
|
Selection between a dark or light
background. |

incorrectly on some systems after the number of characters becomes
very large. |

| TS2 Enhancer (Nightlife Release
Candidate #4)
Ver. 1.2.0 Build 140 released.
In addition to the items listed below
this version includes code changes to make it safer to use. Specifically
babies can no longer have aspirations adjusted which effects the other
characters interacting with them (Apparently this is tied to the needs
of the babies being recognized by the other characters). University
classes have also been changed so they can only be changed using
advanced mode. (With Nightlife installed changing the classes can cause
the game to crash) Note: Following the final release of Version 1.2.0 I
will be looking further into this to see if I can find a way to change
the classes that is stable.

| TS2 Enhancer (Nightlife Release
Candidate #3)
Ver. 1.2.0 Build 133 released.
In addition to the items listed below
this version corrects an issue where having a large number of characters
in a neighborhood would cause the thumbnails in TS2 Enhancer to display
incorrectly. It also includes a change to the neighborhood backup stuff
to allow all neighborhoods backed up using it to be restored. Previously
they could only be backed up if they already were in the game which
isn't always the case with fresh installs of the game.

effect using the cloning lab beyond that and clones created using it now

Ver.
1.1.0 Build 93 released. - Jun 11, 2005.

compatibility with the University Expansion and enable a variety of new

additional features for those using the University Expansion Pack to edit

Notes:
Influence, Performance, and GPA levels depend
upon several requirements being met within the game. Because of this they
may only temporarily be effective during game play or as in the case of
influence may revert to a lower level if the game determines they are not
supposed to be at that level. (I.E. If there are not enough friends)

This release is Release Candidate 1 of
Version 1.1.0. This release is believed to be completely stable and all
final interface and known bugs have been addressed in this release. There
are upgrades still planned into a later release to add additional
functionality to this program. This version is to bring it into full

University specific changes to be made when that expansion has been

the University Expansion Pack to edit University Student Attributes. See
the What's New section in Downloads for more details on what this

Version 1.0.0 Build 77 has been moved to the
final release download link.
It was determined to be stable quite some time
ago however a few updates planned into the release were never completed.

Public Beta (See Release Notes above this for details). |

|
| TS2 Enhancer
Ver. 1.0.0 Build 77 Public Beta
released.
In addition to a number of small updates
to correct minor issues this release includes the "Cloning Lab" which is
for changing the bodies and skins on characters that already exist in
the game in addition to other attributes that can be transferred between
characters. This version has not been fully tested so please do not use
it if you are concerned with using untested software. Instead download
the previous release which has been determined to be a stable release. |

|
|
| TS2 Enhancer
Ver. 1.0.0 Build 52 released.
This release should correct the User Data
not found message some of you with International versions of the game
were getting. |
|
|
|
| TS2 Enhancer has now been released.
Please keep in mind that the test cycle for this
release was very short. You may wish to hold off for a few days to
download it to be sure nothing shows up that needs to be corrected. |
|
|
|
| TS2 Enhancer is progressing well after working through a couple of
hurdles the last few days. I think the last large hurdle for the initial
release is over now and I am just working on all the tedious details
that need to be done. |
