Default How can the Maxis logo be restored in Sims 2?
Hey, so I've installed Sims 2 directly from the discs onto a Windows XP virtual machine on VMWare Workstation (again, despite how horrendous the 3D graphical acceleration currently is: https://www.reddit.com/r/sims2help/..._or_virtualbox/ ), and I want to know, are there any specific files in the game directories where the Maxis logo is being kept? So far, I've installed the base game, then Nightlife, then Family Fun Stuff and then Glamour Life Stuff, and the Maxis logo (screenshotted directly from launching GLS in the VM shows directly after the EA Games logo, but before I install Pets or Seasons, I need to know if there is a certain file in the game directories that maintains the Maxis logo's presence because in Legacy Collection, the Maxis logo is still nowhere to be found, and I want to restore the Maxis logo to the Legacy Collection. Can anyone provide me with some answers?

I think they got rid of it around Nightlife, so you'd need to mod your latest EP's UI package to include it. No idea whether just importing it would work, I imaging they changed the bit of code that calls it too.
