#install windows 11

[hrf-group]

Windows 11, the latest iteration of Microsoft’s popular operating system, brings a sleek and modern interface along with several new features. If you’re eager to explore Windows 11 but don’t want to commit to a full installation on your physical machine, VirtualBox provides an excellent solution. This article will walk you through the steps to install Windows 11 on VirtualBox, allowing you to run and test the OS in a virtual environment.

Sims 2 on Windows 11

Alright, the new computer with Windows 11 is up and running and Sims 2 has been installed. These are the steps I took to get it running and looking pretty:

Installed the game through EA App

I installed "George" so I won't need to start the game up through EA App and let it waste resources and spy on me.

I ran the 4GB patch on the Sims2EP9.exe and TS2BodyShop.exe

I ran Graphics Rules Maker and tweaked things through that enabling it to use my full texture memory etc

I installed the EmptyStandbyList since without it I got pink flashing very quickly

????

Profit.

If this helped somebody else out, you're welcome! :)

(long, pretty messy and image heavy version of this process written as I did it is behind the cut. I mean it, it's very long!)

added my graphics card in the video cards file manually

did the common graphics rules tweaks (these) manually

applied 4gb patch to bodyshop and game exes

tested bodyshop, it started up but has no smooth edges, otherwise textures are good and new projects export and import as supposed. 4GB patch works as supposed. It'll likely require tweaking it through nvidia control panel so leaving that for later.

Started up game, after turning the edge smoothing on it looks this good (no mods thus the boxy shadows):

6. However my log is reporting only 1gb of RAM for the game to use, will have to reapply the 4gb patch and try again. But it's using all 12 gb for texture memory so that's cool, I probably won't need to worry too much about pink flashing but I'm going to stress test it a little.

View distance maximized:

Shaders work:

"I probably won't need to worry too much about pink flashing" I said earlier and then left the lot and:

:'D But looking at task manager I see my standby memory has filled up the remaining RAM already so this is actually working as expected, I just forgot one step.

7. installed the EmptyStandbyList.

8. This is where I closed game, applied the standby memory fix, rechecked my exe and remembered that you weren't supposed to run it in compatibility mode so I turned that off but just in case I also reapplied 4gb patch and restarted the game. Now it's correctly showing me 4GB of RAM to use for the game so that should be handled.

Side note: Mr. Humble spawned, I haven't seen him for years as I have mod to stop him from appearing. Was this sim always so ugly? It looks like his face is melting.

No pink flashing after leaving the lot this time:

But it crashed when I clicked on the sims icon.

New try, game restarted and this time we'll go straight to CAS and... *immediately gets distracted* There are this many bin families by default?

I've used clean templates for years so this was an unpleasant surprise. I don't like them, you're all getting nuked soon once I've made sure the game runs as supposed and can go ahead installing clean templates. So then to the CAS, it loads and I click to create a sim and....

Oh. Okay then. :| Guess I'm missing some tweak still. Let's try graphics rules maker instead, it should also easily fix my resolution etc since I forgot to do that manually.

One restart later, are you fucking kidding me?

but hey, nice crisp textures. Too bad it's so tiny I can't see shit. (I realized this was my error after a moment, I thought graphics rules maker said minimum resolution in the spot I didn't change but it actually says maximum, so I fixed that and all is good) But I'm gonna ignore that now and try loading CAS again, pls work.

.... Hell yeah, at least that finally loaded up as supposed.

She is beauty, she is grace, maxis defaults really ruin her face.

After the final restart with screen size etc fixed I went back and forth to different lots trying to make it flash pink and it never did so I'm going to say this was success.

So to recap:

Installed the game through EA App

I installed "George" so I won't need to start the game up through EA App.

I ran the 4GB patch on the Sims2EP9.exe and TS2BodyShop.exe

I ran Graphics Rules Maker and tweaked things through that enabling it to use my full texture memory etc

I installed the EmptyStandbyList since without it I got pink flashing very quickly

????

Profit.

And seriously, that's all, even if this post ended up this long.

I still need to get smooth edges in bodyshop but that will likely be done with nvidia control panel rather than texture settings. Here's one more random maxis sims image to end this with a pretty picture instead of just huge wall of text.

my laptop (finally) died the other day and must say design/print jobs from a phone are not the easiest but we soldier on 💪🏻

#mostly the print part because printers these days are allergic to printing images at actual size #laptop would probably be fixable were it not for the pre-existing... quirk of the display only working if you boot it up with the lid close #kinda rules out any restarts (has to be fully powered down and back on each time) #there is literally no way to access safe mode to even see if that works. so. #RIP Bill you were a pain in my ass #in hindsight getting a laptop called an OMEN was probably. you know. an omen #would also probably be fine if i simply replaced the hard drive but he's so decrepit is truly is not worth it #maybe i'll finally install Linux on whatever piece of shit bargain basement refurbished machine i replace him with #because at this point it's going to be running Windows 11 most likely and i just. #IWouldPreferNotTo.jpg

I've got my life priorities in order (<- woman who considers installing the Artix Games launcher a vital part of setting up her new laptop)

#me #listen. I need it. if this is my computer for when I'm away for months at a time for work and don't have access to my desktop. it NEEDS df #the order of setting it up went #The Compulsory Set-Up Process It Came With -> basic steps of making windows 11 bearable to use -> kill the ai nonsense it came with -> #install firefox -> install microsoft suite 2010 from my dad's usb -> install ae launcher

I finally got a new desktop PC and broke it in with Kultapossu ja Leo Leijona: Sateenkaarivarkaat and Windows XP Solitaire, both of which somehow run fine on Windows 11

#Kermis plays video games #I'll get to more demanding gaming once I get more essentials installed #Win 11 Paint refused to start until I downloaded a bunch of OS updates which was weird since it's like an essential part of Windows to me #but yeah it works now. as does Win XP Paint since I have that lying around as well

[who-goes-maractus]

had to get a new computer because my last one broke and it came preinstalled with windows 11 :( i thought people were exaggerating but they're right, that shit's borderline malware. it comes with s mode already enabled which is a huge problem considering this is my work computer and i need third-party software, but even once i turned it off it was still almost unusable

#windows 11 #most guides don't have instructions if your computer never had 10 installed in the first place :( took me a bit of digging to figure it out #this is not a prompt to get me to switch operating systems 🫵 i hate windows 11 specifically

hey if anyone got that new piece of bloatware in their windows 11 taskbar called "Copilot", here is a fantastic video thats under a minute long showing you how to get rid of it!

I wonder if all those people who say Windows is easier to use than Linux are Apple users or something... I feel like Linux is pretty straight-forward, things usually work or else you get an error message that tells you what exactly is wrong. You may have to ask an expert what exactly the error message means but there’s always an expert around in the forums and then you’re good to go.

Whereas with Windows if something doesn’t work (which is often) the usual situation is that you get the message “This didn’t work for some reason, good luck!” or simply nothing happens at all. Then you ask on the Microsoft customer support forum and get an answer that fixes nothing because your error could have 20 different reasons and they don’t know what your problem is either. And then if you’re lucky you find some freeware that works and which someone has written for fun and glory - in other words, exactly the normal Linux approach - and it fixes your problem.

I feel like Windows often tries so hard to keep users away from everything technical that things in the end become needlessly complicated. I can’t get Ethernet to work on Windows 7. On Linux, it’s easy. It’s easier, even for someone with no technical knowledge, to enter subnet masks numbers (you can just jot them down after all, you don’t need to understand the background) than to find the 20 different arcane settings that Windows requires you to set.

#context: trying to get win 11 installed on my new laptop #it's made of fail as always #linux #windows #ok more context: i use linux mint which is among the most user-friendly ones #not claiming EVERY linux distro is accessible #but mint is better than windows at being windows

[angsttronaut]

why oh why do i have to like programs that tie me to windows

#personal #krita's a great program and i think most people should be fine with it #but i heavily prefer the impasto/watercolour effect rebelle can do and the drawing feel and interface of clip studio #unfortunately it looks like it's very difficult to get clip running properly on linux and rebelle is obscure so not much info there lol #still need to do more research though. windows 10 eol is looming way too close on the horizon and i can't install 11 on my desktop #a bit concerned about what sort of atrocity windows 12 might land up being too ;KLFLKHG;JAFH

Nik is at their Pathfinder game tonight so I am alone in the house with the cat and valiantly restraining myself from configuring my computer to dual-boot Linux

#me posts #i do have Plans though #that whole windows 11 built-in ai tools thing really got me #but i've gotta be slow and methodical about this!! #it also helps that i don't have a free flash drive to use #...because most of my flash drives already have operating systems installed on them...
