After cheesy_oranges started replacing the in-game cursors, someone made a suggestion:
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*

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! ;-) |

About me/TOU
This is a small collection of downloads, done for no other reason than my wanting to give back to the community. I'm just starting out and have little experience in modding, so don't PM/IM me with requests please.
So long as you don't pass my work off as your own or sell it via paysites, do what you like with it ;)
