Inside the .zip archive is a file with the .exe extension; in order for the mod to work, you must run this program (double click icon preferably on desktop - extracted from .zip)

I think it could be improved by making it so that it only applies when you're focused on a Sims game window, for example:

SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx
#IfWinActive ahk_exe i)^.*The Sims.*exe$
~XButton2::‎‎‎PgUp
~XButton1::‎PgDn
#IfWinActive

This will only apply the macro to processes that contain the string "The Sims" in their path, meaning that in 99% of cases it will apply to any currently running Sims game installed by conventional means. However this would also mean it would affect any other program that has the string "The Sims" in it's path, but this is probably rarer than someone having their game installed somewhere where the path doesn't have the string "The Sims" in it.

I tried it, but it doesn't work when I play on borderless, so I went with a more compatible version.

Isso é uma ótima modificação, mas ficaria melhor se iniciasse automaticamente junto ao jogo. Ou entendi errado o funcionamento dele? Precisa inicia-lo todas as vezes que iniciar o The sims, não é?

Change Hotkey/Shortcut for Pause

Hello Arro. Thanks so much for this awesome mod

I was wondering if you could make one that makes the s-key Pause the game in live mode? I have tried looking at the website regarding how to do it, with intentions to make it myself, but it's all gibberish to me

I could never understand what to do.

This is one of the most helpful technical mods I've used for months. I've moved to a mecha 70% keyboard and this mod makes it so convenient without having to manually click the floors as well as PgUp or PgDn that I'm accustomed to - thank you for this :D
