Thanks so much for this. I was going mad trying to read and understand those rhymes and I've been looking for a fix since the game came out. EA should really start checking things like this.
Thanks again!

Thankyou! This was bugging me so much. Something like this slipping through the testing is just lazy on EA's part.

Thank you so much for making this. I was thinking it might have been suppost to be like that. But it got really annoying and was hard to read. Thanks again.

Oh yes, I wonder how it was right in the American language? I don't see the point in having two English installations of the game because we still get American versions of certain words in our English Installation games. Well I think we do?

Actually, you shouldn't feel bad, because it's the same in the Dutch version. The rhymes just keep going without any spaces. Very annoying.

LifeJunkie, I will have to see if I can find the text files again, which I should be able to do, (I think they are still on my desktop) and I shall see if I can create a fix for the Dutch version.

I want to play with it!
I don't even know How the rimes are in Portuguese.

Thank you so much, this is ever so much neater! I'm going through my spellbook for my skilled witch now, and just to let you know: Tempus Interruptus (neutral spell) still is not properly delineated. But everything else looks good!

I'll take another look at Tempus Interruptus then. It is possible I could have missed it with how many there are.

EDIT: Yup, I seem to have not included it in the package. I remember seeing it but must have forgotten to extract it. I'll try and rectify this a soon as possible.

Hrm, I'm in Canada (we have the US version) and I have the same issue in my spellbook.

Would it still be safe for me to download and use your mod anyways?

It's driving me crazy!

It should work for you fine. Anyone who runs the game so it has English text can use it.

Did (or could) you change the size at all? Because my old eyes have trouble with how small that darn font is! Thanks no matter what

I don't think I can change the font size. Whenever I press the commit button in SimPE it formats the text to a set size.

i think it's not so much that they are lazy but they don't want to spend the money to hav the game tested. because they do hav it tested, but it seems they don't allow the testers enough time to do so. or maybe the company who tests the game isn't aware that they need sims2-experienced testers for these very complex new expansion packs. just imagine someone asks you to test this game with all packs installed and you never played it b4. no, i really dont want to imagine this... maybe they should sponsor mts2 community for doing their testing AND fixing!

is it just me, or is EA losing the plot. Each expansion pack released got progressively buggier than the last. Then the SecuROM controversy popped up. I wonder if this is because they are more focused on the Sims 3?

what about adding also description to Tempus Resumo, because it is missing from spell book. what you think? can you make it?
I can´t make it on my own, because i don´t know how to make modes.
I have description:
The Time Flow is unfreezing,
without anyone noticing.
Nights and days can pass again,
non-wizards can move again!
Tempus Resumo!
(Can be used only when time is freezed.)

I wasn't aware that such a spell existed. Do you mean there is a blank page in the book or that you want the spell adding in? All I did was correct the text that was already there.
I sadly can't update this mod myself anymore though anyway, as I no longer have the Sims 2 installed on my computer.
Sorry.
