Hello. I'm trying to edit the number of credits that are taken away when one changes university degrees at the end of a term. I have the XML Extractor and File Finder, but I'm having trouble searching by what's inside said files.
I'm specifically looking for the following strings: 0xB8C9F052 Would you like to sign up for another term?
0xE0BA98A4 If you pick a new degree, some of your university progress will be lost. Are you sure you want to change your degree?
Since I believe that those will help point me to the file where the credits information is stored. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, since I've been staring at these XMLs for hours now and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for!

Hey, gothypanda! I know this is a response about 16 months late, but I searched your string 0xB8C9F052 and the only Tuning file that utilized it is: 03B33DDF!00000000!B0141CC0FEA163AA.sims.university.degree_tracker.Tuning It does appear to have some fields that can be edited there to change credit requirements for degrees. I'm not sure if there's a way to search for strings within a group of files through S4S, so I just extracted every single XML Tuning file and categorized them by their class. This took a very long time, so I recommend writing a script that parses all the unique Tuning types from the entire set of XML tunings, making directories for each, and then respectively filing away all of the XML files. If you're on Windows 10, to search all of the files within subdirectories in a given directory, open the main folder where you keep your Tuning XML files in Windows Explorer with Win + E, up at the top of the window, click View, then Options, in the new window, choose the Search tab at the top, and under the "When searching non-indexed locations:" section, enable "Always search file names and contents". After doing this, when searching using Windows Explorer, files' contents along with titles will be searched instead of just titles. Keep in mind that this will take a lot longer, so consider working on other stuff while searching is finalized. |
