The Mansion&Garden SP is always included in the mini-game configuration

Does it mean the code version will always be the highest?
Like if I wanted to test a mod from a point of view of a player that has, say, Seasons as the latest EP, I can't do that, right?

In any case, I'm kinda excited and happy to see this tool updated. Thank you!

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS!!
I can't thank you enough for giving this a try! Oh, my, it's wonderful.
I'm downloading right away, and if I find some little time I'll be sure to do some testing. Oh, my, I may even try to build some more houses.

We all should thank @maybesomethingdunno for compelling me to update the AGS : It was fun to come back to modding after so long

Correct. The minimum configuration managed by the AGS-UC is Basegame+Mansion&Garden. I you have to test something in a "non-M&G" environment, you can't. I understand that this is quite a limitation for the AnyGameStarter (we should rename it "AlmostAnyGameStarter" ) but alas, there is nothing we can do to remove this limitation. The old AGS worked because the standard game contains 1 executable for each EP and SP, while the Ultimate Collection contains only ONE executable.

Yes I am! But I'm still in retirement (as for modding, I mean ); I only came back for this new AGS.

I've finally started my Journal. Information only, no questions.

Thank you, and many blessings to you Numenor

I couldn't believe my eyes! This is awesome ... I'm still playing with disc but it's good to know that when I finally decide to switch over this is available. Thank you so much Numenor! Big hug to @maybesomethingdunno for being our advocate.

Numenor???? No, they left years ago. This is some type of Xmas Joke. I'm aware that for UC people like me, Any Starter is impossible.
Numenor is gone and I've accepted that. Or maybe I'm dreaming and this really is Xmas. Now this is what I call a proper present. Yippie, thanking you for everything.

Did the normal AGS get an update too? I'd love to not have to edit the registry files every time I run it. I thought you were gone forever and had mostly resigned myself.

AGS installs like this: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\1.0]
But to make it work, I need to add "Wow6432Node\" to every single line, in both the AGS reg and the Full reg, as such:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\1.0]

You wonderful, wonderful person, you! :lovestruc The main reason I haven't got the UC but still play from disc is that it would mean I could no longer use the AGS, and I depend on it both as a modder and a player. Thank you SO MUCH for updating it! It's a pity we'll no longer be able to test our stuff in a non-M&G setup, that's one of the main things I use the AGS for today, but I get why it has to be this way. And better a limited AGS than no AGS!

Can't test this since I (currently) don't have the UC, but if and when I do get it, this will be the first thing I download.
