Left handed in-game cursors
CursorNormal.jpg - width=289 height=237
CursorSelect.jpg - width=261 height=217
Nice idea... I was wondering if there is any left hand cursor... because it's a bit weird playing with a left configurated mouse and the right hand default cursor! ;-) |
One I agreed with, and finally decided to do for myself, so here they are - left-handed versions of the in-game cursors; nothing in them changed or edited, just flipped over (yes, I did all the ones needing it, including the sledgehammer tool):


Installation Instructions
These do not go into your Downloads. In order to use these, first track down and back up this folder*:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UI\Cursors
*Assuming that you installed at the default location. Your path may be different otherwise.
Additionally, if you own Pets or up, do the same with this one:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 [EP]\TSData\Res\UI\Cursors
where [EP] refers to the highest EP you own, including TSS.
Now, download LeftyCursors and extract the whole folder to here:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UI\
You'll get a dialogue box asking if you want to replace whatever's already in that folder, click yes. If you own Pets and/or over, also download the LeftyHammerCursors file and extract to here, same rules as above:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 [EP]\TSData\Res\UI\
That's it - although if you get confused, don't be afraid to ask, I'm not the best of explainers *blush*
