Before you go all "woohoo" I stumbled across this on betarchive this night : http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2250&p=406210&hilit=sims+beta#p406210 A user named "PivotGuy246" links to a "Sims 2 Sampler beta". (674 mb in size) And browsing the parent directories I found "TheSims2Introduction.zip". No idea if I stumbled across something interesting or not...you tell me http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/asiapacific/demos/TheSims2Sampler.zip http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/demos/Sims2/TheSims2Introduction.zip No need to install, just unpack compressed.zip and start TS2Sampler.exe. It then says "this demo is for promotional purposes only" : Still exploring the files and executables with a hex editor. /pub/misc/Sims2 offers even more files...which Im not familar with...could be junk.... So does : /pub/misc/NordicSims If already known, please forgive me. (and tell me!) Hope this is of any use p.s. Also browsing the ftp via the waybackmachine back to 2003 is quite interesting
