I mean, we're into terabyte drives now and I still think about space. Just yesterday I was reinstalling Euro Truck SImulator and wondering if it wouldn't take up too much space on my gaming SSD. Game was 4 gigabytes, I had 199 gigs free. I remember when 4 gigabytes was massive. TS2 came on 4 CDs, originally.

And yeah AmuHav, you're kind of supposed to put all the packages in one folder I believe. So all of them, from the expansions, into the base game data folder.

Wait, not put them each back in their original folders? That... doesn't seem right? Surely you convert them all, then put them back where they came from?

Edit: Tbh, a full tutorial on what to do when doing this manually for an Origin copy of the game would be really helpful ^^' Otherwise you really do end up making a lot of assumptions. Like, am I supposed to only do the ones in the base game folder? All the EP and SP folders? Do you do both the Packages and DeltaPackages folders?

Wonder if the solution is to extract the windows beforehand using S3OC, and then either reimport them into the edited fullbuild files, or stick them into the mods folder?

This retains the original window objects, but allows everything else to be edited.

This has broken a couple of objects for me too, particularly textures on a few items. Shame, because this is so damn nice to build with because it runs so much smoother. It sounds like it is possible to extract specific objects and import them into the new builds, but that could become a little tiresome, depending on how many objects it happens too. And not easy for those that wouldn't know how to do that.

Don't think it's too challenging- just use S3OC to open up the Fullbuilds and copy the object beforehand, textures included.

I just bought a 1 TB Samsung Evo 860 SATA III SSD. I use the Origin version of the game. I have all EP’s and like 2 stuff packs. I have most worlds. What should I do? My CPU is an i5 3770k. My graphics card is so old it’s still supported by TS3.

What do you mean, what should you do? Move your entire install to the SSD, set up a symbolic link to your game documents, then uncompress your game data with this tool.

Hi simmy!
I know it's probably impossible, but is there a way to use this tool on Mac OS? I have access to a Windows computer where I can launch the program, but I can't find these delta build files... I don't know where they are supposed to be on Macs, and if they are supposed to exist at all.

Apologies in advance for bumping thread. Have just stumbled on it and have gone through the entire thread and was wondering if a tutorial ended up being created for non-steam users?

Can somebody tell me how to get this to work with the Origin version? I really would prefer not to re-buy TS3 and all the expansions on steam

Hey! It's not fixable, is it?

I uploaded the source code on GitHub
This thread is dead for sure, even though the software and idea were great. I published the code from simmythesims's turbo travel program here on GitHub. (link)

It's not my intention to take over the project or publish it under my name. I published it on GitHub, so this wonderful program can live on and many more may learn from it.
