Tutorial for making "Open with..." work on Fedora with Windows programs (and installing Sims/Lots via CleanInstaller that way)

sorry for the convoluted title, but I didn't know how else to name this.

Anyway, you know how on Windows you can simply double click on .Sims2Pack files and CleanInstaller will automatically open them? Same with .package files and SimPE.

This doesn't work on Linux out-of-the-box, because both SimPE and CleanInstaller are Windows programs. However, there is a way to make it work just like that.

I will be writing this tutorial for CleanInstaller, but you can do the same with SimPE. You'll then be able to install lots and sims by simply double clicking those install files, just like how you'd do it on windows.

What we need to do is to create a .desktop file for our program, which will make it available in the list of programs when selecting "Open with...".

Go to /home/[PC name] Then hit ctrl+h to show hidden folders. From there, go to .local/share/applications.

Inside that folder, create a new file and name it CleanInstaller.desktop

Open your new file with a text editor like KWrite or Kate.

In the file, write the following:

[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=CleanInstaller Icon=[add a path to the .ico file you want to use, this is optional] Exec=WINEPREFIX="/home/[insert PC name]/Games/the-sims-2/" "/home/[insert PC name]/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine" "[insert path to CleanInstaller.exe]" %U Categories=Game

If for whatever reason your runner for the Sims 2 is different (meaning it is NOT wine-ge-8-26-x86_64), then change it in the text above! It needs to be the same runner as the game is using.

Save your file.

To test, go download a sim or house, right click the file, select "open with..." and see if CleanInstaller is in the list.

Tip for people who use KDE plasma: Right click on a .sims2pack file, select "Properties". In the new window, click on "Change..." or "Add..." next to "Open With". Another window will open. At the bottom under "Applications preference Order", click on "+Add..." and select CleanInstaller. Apply the change and now you can simply double-click .sims2pack files to open them in CleanInstaller automatically.

/EDIT: Some people have reported that they couldn't get this to work on Mint and SteamDeck. I'm not really sure why that is, but in this case I'll just mark that this tutorial is for Fedora specifically.

Okay so I had this idea even last year! But I had already done my pumpkin patch (I peaked here lmao) and I was really bummed out that it was constantly crashing and unplayable (it was on the biggest lot size possible) so I decided to wait until this year to execute it! 🎃

So here's Will O' The Wisp's! It's a functioning restaurant inside a carved Halloween pumpkin? Yes! I thought why not? It's silly and it's cute and totally in the spirit of Simblreen. 👻

And it's got everything your simmies might need for an unforgettable spooky time: fine dining, a pumpkin patch to stroll through, a woodsy area with a big screen for some scary movie viewing and a concert area where you can listen to your neighbors rock 'n' rollin'. 💀

Have a looooot of fun! 🦉

A bit more technical information (and preview pics) are under the cut! Please read it in order to make this community lot work properly in your game! It's super easy ♥

There's actually not much CC so I packaged the lot with all of it, please let me know if something's not showing up for you and I'll help you out ♥ Please use CleanInstaller.

BUT the lot was built with invisible walls so I'm assuming you need them in your game or else the pumpkin is going to look really weird lmao. You can get them HERE and they're super easy to install.

Other than that, you need the invisible door and the invisible tiles. Your sims will be walking through the pumpkin because I placed it on this special OMSP, so make sure to get that as well.

The pumpkin mesh is originally by vintagesimmer and I converted it and re-textured it completely for this purpose. It's included with the download so please, just in case, plop it in your Downloads folder 'cause it's the most important thing. I so desperately wanted to make it 'hood visible but unfortunately I didn't clone it the correct way from the beginning and would have to start the entire thing over, so... :(

Other than that, it's all good I guess? 🎃 Here are some more preview pics:

Notes: the lot is zoned as "community" on the largest (50 x 60? 60 x 50?) lot size. Cleaninstaller is recommended when installing the lot, although the lot has been cleaned and packaged without unnecessary mods.

I have also included a document with a list of CC used in Project: Belsky Work (Part II will come in a few days).

Previews and technical details below the cut:

As shown in the picture, you are probably wondering, what (the hell) are those red squares?

Well, it is what I did to create the enigmatic ceiling lighting effects in these pictures (inspired by the dance scene in Season 1):

There is a layer of NL club cubes on the glass ceiling, visible from below. These cubes can be configured to show different color themes. The purple-colored lights are not created using these club cubes but by JGColor ceiling lights by jgwhiteus@MTS.

Normal lighting underneath the club cubes is fluorescent lighting by Mustluvcatz@MTS. They can be easily controlled (in a group of four) by your sims in life mode using the lightbulbs on the walls, even though they are hidden below the club cubes. This will allow you to customize dramatic ceiling effects in the MDR office.

Have fun!

Hey everyone. I haven't uploaded anything the past year but I work on my 500 followers gifts for months now (some stuff just need renaming). Since I made tons of stuff I wonder: is there any easy way to rename them or do you use CleanInstaller to rename them one by one (like I do)? 🤔

[fireflowersims]

Hi! I came across an old post of yours where you wrote: "Weird numbers and text as a texture? It’s your TXMT pointing to the wrong TXTR." -- Since I have this problem a lot currently, could you maybe tell me how to fix this? How do I make my TXMT point towards the correct TXTR?

Hi, so what you want to do first is find the package that has this issue. If you don't know what it's called and where it is, put it on empty lot and package that lot. Open it in CleanInstaller and you should see your problem package in there.

Next thing you do is you put that package in SimPE. You can just drag and drop. Then, you will want to go to the TXTR's and note down their names.

Then, in the matching TXMT's, find the line that says stdMatTextureName. Click on it, remove all that bits after ##0x1C050000! and paste your TXTR name in AFTER the ##0x1C050000!. Commit, save and compressorize.

Also, report it to the creator so they can adress the issue.

An interesting thing about this, is that you can actually point your TXMT at resources outside of the package. This is called "texture-referencing". We actually do this with some Sun&Moon stuff, though it's more common with clothing than objects. It can save a lot of space.

Hopefully this helps 🙂

RECATEGORIZING CC using ObjectRelocator

I KNOW the screenshots dont match the instructions but is the same process.

In the screenshots in changing the FakeGlass doors by Hyde from the deco/plants section to the deco/sculptures

for example, you have plants in sculptures, plants, misc… even in appliances who knows why… and you want all of them to show in the deco plant section

to recategorize a lot of objects I would suggest this:

you will need:

ObjectRelocator

Sims2PackCleanInstaller

1.Load your game with only BUY MODE CC

place an empty lot

you go into each category and place on the lot absolutely all the plant looking objects check every category, use "move objects on" to place things quickly, just dump all the plants hahaha

save the lot, go to neighborhoood view and package it

exit the game hehe

install the packaged lot (it will dump all the cc in your main downloads folder) then you put all of that cc in a folder. name it something like A_ONLY PLANTS

naming it like that "A_something" will make the cc inside the folder appear at the top in CleanInstaller, which is very important for the next steps!

open Clean Installer and scan your Downloads folder. it might take a while…

now, you will notice that the content of the plants folder is at the top. good

next you have to scroll down and CleanInstaller will hightlight in pink the duplicates you have to disable them by right click in them and choose "disable" everything higlighted in pink you disable it. (you are going to delete the disabled files later) now you can close CleanInstaller

now open ObjectRelocator, open folder… you choose your ONLY PLANTS FOLDER, load it

it will show you all the content in the folder and the category in wich they appear in game, by function and by room. you can click on the top of the columns to sort them

you can change the category one by one, or you can drag the cursor to select multiple objects.

in the bottom you will see the categories list and you choose decorative and then plants. now the objects with changes will be highlighted in pink. at right bottom corner you click save, now everything is unselected. close the program.

now two important things:

a) in your ONLY PLANTS folder. DELETE the files with the ".bak" extension. (these are backups of the original files you modified) b) in your main DOWNLOADS folder. DELETE the files that you disabled in step 3 (they have the ".off" extension)

after that, you can load up your game, and check in plants that you have all your plants there, or go again by each category and check that you didnt miss any plants :D

Why should you disabled the files first? because IF YOU DONT you will have duplicates with different values and the "recategorization" might not work, or at worst it will crash your game mid loading.

Themed & furnished CC free lot! For the CAPPS!

Tiny House - 💳 Capp Apartment*💶

tiny 1x2 lot!

old money dark academia antique everything

wood, velvet, satin, stained glass, brass, polish

a kitchen that is slightly bigger than the Monty's

unironic candelabras! heirloom rugs! wood chiffoniers!

lamps and scones, lots of candles; soft lighting for hard people

no CC at all!** Needs all Expansions and Stuff packs however

*note: by apartment, I mean it's a small house, maybe for a lesser off Capp?. Go ahead and make it a real apartment if you'd like. Actual apartments are hard for me to play due to crazy lag.

**note: as with most of my CC free lots, the lot does have some extracted stuff as decor. Things like the OFB First Simoleon Award and Best of the Best Award, the FreeTime Catfish, buyable witch items, some Nightlife and OFB bouquets. These can be left out of the lot if you use the CleanInstaller.

Quartier-Viertel [CC FREE]

Blending cultures and architectural styles, Quartier-Viertel dazzles with its colorful rowhouses and unique charm. From a cozy patisserie and quaint bookstore to a Gothic café and tropical bar, it offers something for everyone. Explore historic halls, grab essentials at the grocery store or pharmacy, and plan your next adventure at the tourist agency. Enjoy a drink or coffee, meet locals, and soak in the sights.

Bonjour, wie gehen Sie? I am glad to share my quarter of various tenements crated on a single lot. This place consists of: a restaurant, a tropical bar with drinking section, two different coffee houses, an imaginary travel agency, a pharmacy with a very small lab, a lyceum/small theatre, a book shop, and a grocery store, as well as one empty flat upstairs. All in one.

This is a community lot. I playtested its copy to make sure everything functions as it should; had to put chairs outside the restaurant diagonally so that its staff doesn't serve you food in a bar next door or something. Inspired by architecture found in cities of Wrocław, Gdańsk, Toruń and Lviv; imagination used to improvise.
