What is See Them 2?

See Them 2 is a tool intended for removing the censor (blurred Sims) in all TS2 versions 
- Original game, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, future EPs - in all language 
versions, with any patch.

This program can also enable the debug cheats mode. It allows the placement of objects 
out of grid or on a diagonal, as well as changing many of the gameplay settings. This 
program has been specially designed with beginners in mind so it has an easy-to-use 
interface with pictures instead of text.

See Them 2 will find the game location by itself, so you don't have to worry about 
finding the appropriate folder. It also doesn't need any installation or additional 
files to run. This program uses the well-known censor.package file made by Quaxi for 
removing the censor in all game versions.

Warning! See Them 2 will allow you to see nude Sims. Therefore, you should only use 
this program if you are at least 13 years of age or older. Otherwise, do not download it! 


See Them 2.3
- The newest version for Windows 98 - XP (02/28/2006).
- The program requires: 0.5 MB free space on the harddrive + any version of The Sims 2.

New in this version:
- Quaxi's censor remover is used for all game versions, with a prompt for future EPs.
- User interface simplified - buttons for advanced users were removed.
- There will be no need to release a newer version with future EPs or patches.

Thanks:
- to Quaxi for his Nightlife censor remover,
- to Lily Whyte for helping me with translation and for doing the lead testing,
- to Abby for helping to translate the texts of the user interface,
- to Susan, Kevin, Malina, Simacik for testing.


License conditions

in order to obtain earning or any other advantages is prohibited.

You are not permitted to modify the program or to distribute any of its components, 
such as graphics from the website. However, if you would like to link to the Simsky

Although See Them 2 has been thoroughly tested, you are downloading this program at 
your own risk. The author of this program isn't responsible for possible damages caused 
by using the program.

By downloading this program, you are agreeing with the licensing conditions.


How does See Them 2 work?

See Them 2 doesn't require any installation. Simply download the SeeThem2.zip file to 
any folder on a PC with The Sims 2. NOTE: Close the game prior to launching See Them 2. 
Then, open the archive and launch See Them 2 by doubleclicking the SeeThem2 file (it 
has a heart-shaped icon). Or, if you prefer, you can extract the files from the zip to 
any folder and launch it from there.

After launching the program, you can see the same interface, as shown in the picture at 
the website. If you want to turn off the censor, click on the left picture (a naked Sim) 
- the red X sign will change to a green check mark, which indicates that the censor has 
been successfully turned off. 

If you want to turn the censor back on again, just click on the picture with the naked 
Sim again - the check mark will change back to the red X sign.


How do I use the other functions?

If you click on the right picture (the one with the plants), you can enable / disable 
placement of objects out of grid. Use this cheat only for adjusting the placement of e.g. 
decorative items after buying them - don't use it while building a house as some items 
(doors, windows, kitchen counters) require this cheat to be turned off when placing them.

When you click on the picture with the armchairs, you can rotate the objects in 45-degree 
steps and place them on a diagonal. You must have University or a newer EP for this to work. 
NOTE: This function does not support all objects. It will not work on many larger objects. 
You also have to rotate the objects by using the "," and "." keys (there is "<" and ">" on 
the same keys).

Clicking on the remaining picture (the one with the pie menu) will enable the testing 
cheats mode. After enabling this function and while in the game, hold the Shift key and 
click on a Sim to display the pie menu. You can change the look of your Sim or the life 
goals then, but be careful as some of the options can kill your Sim! 

This cheat also enables you to change the needs levels or skill bars of your Sims - just 
drag with the left mouse button over each bar in the game to change it to the maximum 
level!


Is there any danger to my game?

See Them 2 doesn't modify any of the game files - it just configures the cheat launcher 
the game executes with each start. Therefore there is no danger to your game when using 
the program. It is no different than using the Ctrl+Shift+C function within the game and 
enabling cheats then. See Them 2 saves you the time and aggravation of typing in certain 
cheats :o). 

If you use the censor removal feature, See Them 2 adds the censor.package file to the 
Downloads folder if the censor is off, and deletes it if the censor is turned back on 
again.

See Them 2 does not require neither any other libraries nor programs and it will run on 
any PC. Also, it does not require any configuration files; does not store data onto any 
systems folders; does not interfere with Registry files; does not gather information on 
users and does not send any information to the author or other persons via Internet.


How do I remove the program?

If you intend to remove the program, make sure you turn off all the cheats first (you 
will have 4 red X signs in the corner of each of the pictures in the program) and then 
you can simply delete all the files extracted from the zip file.


What if I download a newer version of See Them 2? Or if I buy a new Sims 2 EP?

If you download a newer version of See Them 2, just replace the old version files with 
the new ones and launch the program. It's that simple :o). No uninstalling required. 

In case of a new Sims 2 Expansion Pack installation, simply launch the program again - 
See Them 2 detects the installed EPs with each start and changes the settings according 
to which EPs are found. If ST2 detects an EP newer than Nightlife, it displays this 
message (only if you have the censor remover turned on and only once): 

"An EP newer than Nightlife was found. Quaxi's censor remover was originally designed 
for Nightlife EP. It modifies the game layer responsible for advanced graphic effects. 
In case of minor incompatibility with future EPs (e.g. new graphic effects missing, if 
there are any), you can simply turn off the censor removal feature in See Them 2."
