How to record videos with Sims 2 in-game camera (HD, no UI, no lag, no file format issues)

I originally planned to include this information in the behind-the-scenes video about Bring Me To Life that I'm currently working on, but it's overly technical and not that interesting. It still might be useful to some people (mostly machinima creators), so I decided to make a separate post about it.

There are two ways to record videos in The Sims 2:

Using screen recording software

This is the most common and probably the easiest way. You just need a program like OBS that will capture whatever happens on your screen exactly as it happened. If this method works for you, it's perfectly fine. No need to follow this guide then.

Using the in-game video capture tool

This way involves capturing videos directly in the game by clicking the video camera icon or pressing V on your keyboard. This method is perfect for machinima creators. It automatically hides the UI, but more importantly, the video will always be perfectly smooth, regardless of the actual performance of your game, i.e. even if it runs like a literal slide show, any videos you capture this way will look perfectly fine.

Okay, so if this method is so great, why do we need a tutorial for it? Well, as is usually the case with this game, the feature works fine, it's just a little bit outdated.

To fix it, we need to do 3 simple* things.

*If you're a Sims 2 player, you're probably used to this kind of stuff anyway

Step 1: Installing a modern codec

In the Camera settings, the game lets you choose if you want the videos to be compressed. I highly recommend choosing that option, as uncompressed videos take up way too much storage space.

The codec that the game uses to handle compression is outdated and most video editing programs will not be able to edit such files. To fix this problem, we need to download and install x264vfw, which is a free an open source codec.

Once installed, open the Configure x264vfw app. No need to change anything there (unless you want to test different settings of course), except for this one small thing:

In the Debug section, go to Log level and change it to None. Otherwise the codec will display a pop-up window each time you record in the game, which is pretty annoying.

Step 2: Making the game use the codec

Locate the VideoCapture.ini file in the installation folder with your latest expansion pack. I have Ultimate Collection, so for me the path looks like this:

D:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\UserData\Config

Back up your file and open the original version with Notepad. You can either replace the whole thing with my settings, or just update the highlighted parts.

While you're at it, make sure to update the LargeSettings value to 1920x1080 so that the videos are captured in HD (no need to worry about it if you're copying the whole thing):

[Config] PreferredCodec=x264vfw Folder is relative to Res/Userdata Folder=Movies FilenameBase=movie NoFillFrames=0 AudioStereoOutput=0 AudioRateDivisor=4 GlobalSettings = reset, vbr:1, fps:10, keyinterval:30, mode:1, datarate:0 SmallSettings = size: 128x128 MediumSettings = size: 320x240 LargeSettings = size: 1920x1080 LowQualitySettings = minq: 6, maxq: 16, mode:0 MediumQualitySettings = minq: 4, maxq: 10, fps:15, mode:0 HighQualitySettings = minq: 2, maxq: 8, fps: 30, keyinterval: 60 SmallLowSettings = datarate: 75 SmallMediumSettings = datarate: 150 SmallHighSettings = datarate: 300 MediumLowSettings = datarate: 150 MediumMediumSettings = datarate: 300 MediumHighSettings = datarate: 600 LargeLowSettings = datarate: 300 LargeMediumSettings = datarate: 600 LargeHighSettings = datarate: 1200 AllowAntialiasing=0 # some drivers have issues with capture when AA is enabled [Codecs] 0=VP61 # On2 VP6.1 1=VP62 # On2 VP6.2 2=VP60 # On2 VP6.0 3=x264vfw # x264vfw

Save your file.

When in game, go to Camera Options and make sure Video Capture Size is set to Large and Video Quality is set to High.

Also, you might want to change the Maximum Video Recording Time to something higher than 60 seconds.

Credit for this solution goes to this person who left the following comment under this video

Step 3: Changing the file format from avi to mp4

Before doing this step, test if everything works correctly when you try to capture videos in the game. The videos will go to the Movies folder in your Documents folder for TS2.

Try to import the videos into your editing software. If it doesn't work, e.g. the program does not recognize the file or the file appears to be corrupted, you'll need to change the file format from avi to mp4.

I personally use VLC media player for that, as it's free and open-source.

Go to Media > Convert / Save...

Drag your files into the File Selection section or select them by clicking the + Add button.

Select the Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4) profile and click the wrench icon to edit its settings.

In the Video tab, make sure to check the box next to Keep original video track. Go to the Audio tab and check the analogous box.

Save and in the next window specify the destination folder and click Start. VLC will go through each of the files you added.

IMPORTANT:

While Steps 1 and 2 only need to be done once, Step 3 needs to be done for every new video you record (unless, your video editing software doesn't struggle opening the avi files). The good news is, this step is really fast, no more than a second per a single video. This is because we're keeping the original video track intact. The only thing that is changed is the container. That's why this change is fast and does not affect video quality in any way. Ideally, this step wouldn't be needed if we figured out a way to force the game to use mp4 when saving those videos, but I'm not sure if this is possible.

Like I said, outside of machinima creation, it probably makes more sense to just record your screen with OBS. Especially if you want to capture videos in 4K, which I don't think would be possible with this method. But it works for me and as it took me a while to figure it all out, I just wanted to share all the info in a single post!

Capturing the ambience of Gears of War (2006)

The original Gears maps have stylized yet beautiful look that still holds up today. This guide will look at the abandonware 2007 Windows release, and the 2006 Xbox 360 original, rather than the remastered Ultimate Edition.

Obtaining the game

If you’re only concerned with capturing the multiplayer maps, you can download the standalone AI Bot version of Gears (it’s also great fun!). For vanilla versions of the game, check out pinned messages in the Gears PC Community discord. Refer to PCGamingWiki for troubleshooting on getting the game running.

Extracting sounds

Use umodel to extract UPKs in Gears’s Sounds directory e.g. G:\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\WarGame\CookedPC\Sounds.

Enabling console commands

Inside your WarInput.ini file:

[Engine.Console] ConsoleKey=Tilde TypeKey=Tilde MaxScrollbackSize=1024 HistoryBot=-1 bEnableUI=True

This will enable the console, with history and output display included.

Capturing footage

Open your console, and use TOGGLEUI command to hide the HUD. ghost and walk will toggle between free camera mode and normal player control, respectively. 

You can also load into a given map with open or servertravel, e.g. open <map name e.g. mp_gridlock>. We can specify a Game argument to enter with freecam* mode e.g. open <map name e.g. mp_gridlock>?Game=WarfareGameContent.WarGameFreeCam.

You can also activate spectator mode inside the editor (see below) by holding Ctrl and pressing the playtest button. However I found this only offered a window display, and there were rendering artifacts on some maps.

*I found on some versions of the game, open loads maps with player-character control, while others loaded into a free-camera mode. I believe this has something to do with Debug vs Retail versions but I'm not sure.

Identifying sounds

By passing certain launch options, we can open the game’s editor to inspect how sounds are configured on each map. Example shortcut:

"G:\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries\Startup (No-Cd).exe" editor -cookededitor -installed

To find each map's random ambient audio events, open the Kismet panel:

Click Level tab in main browser window2. K -> button on the level box

These random sounds emit from a set of target objects on the map, using the options visible in the event’s panel (e.g. below, volume of 0.25 and pitch of 1.0).

We can also use the LISTSOUNDS and LISTWAVES console commands during gameplay to see which sounds are loaded and currently playing respectively. The latter also shows the sound’s current playback volume.

Always take care to note each sound’s configured pitch in the Editor, as it can vary! Indeed, you’ll find that Gears’s maps create their immersive soundscapes by permuting the position and pitch of only a small number of assets.

New Hope project

This is an ambitious mod for Gears 1 which may make the above easier.

Xbox 360 version

The Windows version's presentation differs slightly from this original. Access free camera mode by using Heebo's tools.

If you can't get these working, be sure you are running the required version of Xenia Canary. Also enable all Extra Custom Types, and enable MEM_MAPPED in Scan Settings.

Putting it all together

Combine your static positional sounds, randomized Kismet sounds, and captured footage using an editor like Shotcut.

Ice Age 2 The Meltdown game.

On the 31st July 2023, I installed Ice Age 2: The Meltdown onto my system to test-run it on Microsoft's Windows 11.

I connected a portable Liteon DVD-ROM optical drive to my Mini-PC to install it using the 2 CD discs.

Here is a picture of me with the game box!

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, based on Blue Sky Studios 2006 film of the same name, was developed by Eurocom and published by Vivendi Universal Games (Sierra Entertainment).

The game works on the latest versions of Windows and also works on Linux using Wine (PlayOnLinux).

I put Disc 1 in first and opened the auto-run from the disc. I clicked the 'Install Ice Age 2: The Meltdown' option from the list. The game uses InstallShield software to install itself onto Windows. I switched the discs around towards the end of the install. Once it had finished installing onto the system, I chose to launch the game.

After going through the intros, I pressed the enter key to go to the main menu. Firstly before starting the game, I configured my favourite keyboard layout. Afterwards I then started a new game and selected a save game slot (Slot A).

As I was playing Ice Age 2, I got to the Forest 2 stage, shortly after going through this stage, Windows 11 asked if I wanted to run the game in 'Compatibility Mode', I chose to run the game with this. It offered this as it knew the game application running was intended for an older version of Windows. However compatibility mode didn't work and the game crashed to the desktop.

The app process name for the game is 'IceAge2pc.exe' (32-bit) when running. The CD (Disc 1) is required to play the game.

I re-launched the game and had to re-configure everything and start from the beginning again, however the game seemed to work much better without running it in the legacy mode Windows offered.

I tried again and successfully played the game up to the end of the Maelstrom level, completing this stage which in my opinion is the best level in the game! Here are the in-game pictures I took with the camera of some of the stages. I had to use HDR camera effect for some of the pictures. The levels shown in the pictures are the Waterpark, Forest, Ice River and Maelstrom.

I had to use my camera for the pictures as the game doesn't allow for print-screening due to Windows copy protection. When running Ice Age 2 in windowed mode, if you click out of the game it will darken the game screen and pause everything until you click on it again.

The game defaults to a screen resolution of 640x480, so I changed it to the maximum resolution of 1024x768. Interestingly the game didn't scale to full screen as when I tried it previously on another PC running Windows 10, but stretched to fit the screen instead. This was because of the 'Gaming Mode' function which is enabled in Windows 10. This mode is disabled by default in Windows 11 and the game worked perfectly without it. However, the game always runs in the 4.3 aspect ratio, but uses a fisheye lens effect which defaults to the 16.9 aspect ratio, so changing that fixed the gaming experience on this monitor. You can read more about display settings for the game in my write-up.

Audio played through my Mini-Rig Bluetooth speaker, which sounded great! The game uses a stereo sound set-up, which can act as surround through headphones.

Back in 2020, Dad gave me a copy of the Ice Age 2: The Meltdown video game which he found on eBay. I did a detailed review of the game and an unboxing review.

See my reviews in the links below:

There are a number of cheat codes you can enter in the pause menu, these include unlocking all the bonus content and the ability to unlock the 'Level Select' menu, plus more.

See all the cheat codes for the game here:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/931239-ice-age-2-the-meltdown/cheats

Playlist featuring all the levels:

A link to the complete in-game music composed by Jim Croft:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO4jlmGoc6uDm0QVLyMqURTP2ciHWjCF_

Overall despite being 17 years old, running the game on Windows 11 worked a treat! It was great fun playing Ice Age 2: The Meltdown again as it is fun, humorous and challenging. Its music is memorable, vibrant and colourful just like its movie soundtrack!

However, I think that both Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (2006) and its Activision sequel Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) should be made available as a digital download through game distribution services such as Valves Steam alongside Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure (2019) to keep them running into the future without the need for a disc.

For a full list of all the Ice Age video-games see:

Decoding the Numbers: What a Truck Compliance Plate Reveals About Your Vehicle

For many truck owners, the compliance plate is just a shiny piece of metal tucked away on the chassis or firewall. But this small plate holds critical information that determines a truck’s roadworthiness, legality, and compliance with national safety standards. Understanding what a truck compliance plate reveals is not only important for staying within the law—it’s also key to maintaining the long-term health and value of your vehicle.

Whether you’re restoring a vintage workhorse or modifying a modern rig, decoding the compliance plate may save you from unexpected penalties, safety issues, or mechanical mismatches.

What Is a Truck Compliance Plate?

A truck compliance plate is a metal tag affixed to a commercial vehicle, usually riveted in an easily accessible location such as the engine bay, inside the driver’s door frame, or on the chassis. It’s issued when a vehicle meets the Australian Design Rules (ADRs), which are national standards governing safety, emissions, and construction.

Each plate carries a set of technical details that define how the truck may be legally operated. It’s not just a bureaucratic formality—this plate is a key legal identifier that enables registration, insurance, and resale.

If you’re curious about how different builders and restorers document their compliance projects, check out visual communities like #australiantrucks or #truckmod on Tumblr for visual inspiration and shared experiences from across the country.

Breaking Down the Plate – What Each Number Means

While it may look like a confusing collection of codes and acronyms, a truck compliance plate is highly structured. Each part serves a purpose:

Manufacturer and Model: Identifies who built the truck and what series or variant it is.

Build Date and Compliance Date: These two dates are not always the same. The build date refers to when the truck was constructed, while the compliance date confirms when it passed inspection and received approval under ADRs.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): A unique 17-character code that traces the identity of the truck throughout its life.

GVM and Tare Weight: The Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) defines the maximum weight the truck may legally carry, including the vehicle’s own mass, passengers, fuel, and cargo. Tare weight refers to the unladen weight of the vehicle.

Seating Capacity and Axle Configuration: Especially important for heavy-duty trucks, these details influence licensing requirements and road usage classifications.

ADR Codes: These shorthand codes reference the exact ADRs that the truck complies with—covering areas such as braking systems, lighting, emissions, and structural integrity.

Decoding these elements may help you determine if your truck is suited for towing, long-haul trips, or if it's eligible for certain modifications or upgrades.

Why It Matters – Legal, Safety & Practical Implications

Operating a truck without a compliant or correctly filled-in compliance plate isn’t just risky—it’s illegal. In Australia, failure to have a valid plate, or displaying one that doesn’t reflect the truck’s current condition, may result in fines, registration refusal, or worse—being issued a defect notice during a roadside inspection.

More importantly, a mismatch in compliance details may endanger drivers and other road users. For example, exceeding the stated GVM may lead to axle stress, brake failure, or compromised handling. Incorrect or missing data also complicates insurance claims, reducing payout eligibility after an incident.

To avoid such complications, many transport operators turn to specialist truck compliance plate services to ensure all documentation is accurate, approved, and up to date.

When You May Need a New or Replacement Compliance Plate

There are a few common scenarios where replacing or updating a truck compliance plate becomes necessary:

After Major Modifications: Any structural change—such as engine swaps, chassis extensions, or axle reconfigurations—requires re-certification to reflect the new specifications.

Imported Trucks: Vehicles brought in from overseas must be retrofitted with a local compliance plate after passing relevant tests.

Lost or Damaged Plate: In cases of corrosion, theft, or accident damage, the original plate may no longer be legible or present.

Each of these situations involves engineering sign-off, sometimes from a Registered Automotive Engineer (RAE), and must follow national and state-based regulations.

As seen on many builds featured under tags like #custombuild or #mechaniclife, compliance isn’t just a box to tick—it’s an integral part of responsible vehicle customisation.

How to Verify the Authenticity of a Truck Compliance Plate

Unfortunately, not every compliance plate out there is genuine. With the second-hand market booming and DIY modifications on the rise, it’s critical to verify a plate’s legitimacy:

Check the VIN: Ensure it matches the chassis and is correctly registered.

Inspect for Tampering: Genuine plates are cleanly riveted and etched using industry-grade methods. Be wary of plates that look engraved by hand, show irregular fonts, or have scratch marks around the fasteners.

Consult a Professional: If you’re ever in doubt, consulting qualified engineers or using verified truck compliance plate services is the best way to ensure full legal alignment and engineering certification.

Know Your Plate, Know Your Truck

The humble truck compliance plate may be small, but its importance is massive. It’s more than a metal tag—it’s a statement of legal readiness, road safety, and engineering integrity. Whether you’re upgrading your fleet, restoring a classic, or preparing for inspection, take the time to decode your compliance plate. You may discover more about your vehicle than you realised—and avoid costly missteps in the process.

If you need expert help navigating the compliance process, Stewart & Sons Engineering offers dependable truck compliance plate services that support everything from inspection to certification and reissuance.
