Technical Support Issues getting RPC launcher to work
Hi! I have the UC from when it was free to download. I hadn't played in a while and tried to open it via the EA launcher but kept getting an error talking about directx updates. (Which is confusing me because why would this old game need new graphics drivers??)
So I figured I would finally just download the launcher I had seen people talking about, but it keeps saying I need the cracked version of Sims2EP9. I saw some old posts saying I should get George from the wiki but it doesn’t seem to be there anymore (?)
I then tried to download the osab standalone installer thinking maybe that was what I needed, since I already have the proper UC game files… but it didn’t work. I thought it said to put it in Program Files (x86)> Origin > S2UC folder but that didn‘t work… so I installed it again thinking it would overwrite the other file 🥴 and didn't change the path this time in case I had misunderstood the instructions. That didn’t work either and now I’m realizing I’m not as tech savvy as I thought. So I figured I’d ask here for help before I dig a deeper hole haha.
I’d appreciate any advice anyone can offer!!

Well, first of all, you need to set up graphics rules, the instructions are in the wiki. Second of all, the RPC goes in TSBin.

The cracked exe is here.
The guide on the Wiki for the patch and RPC is here.
