This file contains 2 files:
-------------------------------------
Read Me.TXT
Sims 2 +14 trainer.EXE

Installation:
-------------
Copy "Sims 2 +14 trainer.EXE" to your "Sims 2\TSBin" directory.

Normally it should be: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\THE SIMS 2\TSBin\"

It depends in wich language you've installed the game.
Just search for the "TSBin" folder and copy it in there.
Then run "Sims 2 +14 trainer.EXE" and press the "Launch" button.

That's all.

**IMPORTANT**
---------------------------
1) WHEN LEAVING YOUR HOUSE TURN OFF ALL CHEATS.
   The easiest way is : Press ALT+TAB in the game to return to the trainer,
   check what cheats are red,
   turn the red ones OFF.
   Then hit ALT+TAB again to return to the game.
   This way youre sure that the cheats are OFF ;)

2) ENSURE THAT MOOD HACK IS OFF, Before entering CREATE A SIM.
   Press CTRL+0 for turning the "Mood Hack OFF"

ON  = Text in the trainer is red
      This only counts for cheats with On/Off behind it:
      CTRL+1, CTRL+4, CTRL+8, CTRL+9 and CTRL+NUMERIC 1 TILL 9.

OFF = Text in the trainer is black.
      This only counts for cheats with On/Off behind it:
      CTRL+1, CTRL+4, CTRL+8, CTRL+9 and CTRL+NUMERIC 1 TILL 9.

ALL other cheats will not turn RED, they just stay black.
So you wont need to turn these off, they will do that automaticly
when your leaving your house.

Troubleshooting
===============================================================

Installing the game
If AutoRun doesn't start once you have put the game in the CD-ROM
drive, launch the autorun file: CD-ROM:\Autorun.exe.

Safe Mode

Safe mode can be accessed if/after the game has crashed. It is
provided as a means of isolating the cause of problems you may have
with sound or video card drivers. When launching with safe mode, you
can disable 3D video accelerator support or hardware support for sound
cards in its menu. Note that while operating Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror
is possible with software-only rendering, the game is designed to use a 3D
accelerator.

DirectX 8.0a

It is highly recommended that you install DirectX 8.0a from your
Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror install disk as DirectX 8.0a is known
to resolve a number of video card and other issues.

Video Card Drivers

Some video card drivers do not support Direct3D correctly. Typical
problems that may occur with these drivers include:

- Crashing on starting up
- Crashing when changing video resolutions
- Corrupted textures
- Garbage artifacts on screen
- Unexpected bright flashing on screen
- Unusually slow performance.

The solution is to go to your video card manufacturer's website and
download updated drivers for your card. It is highly recommended that,
given an option, you download and install Microsoft-certified (WHQL) drivers.

Google Earth Support Site
-------------------------

For the most reliable and up to date information about Google Earth, covering
all aspects of the program, please visit the Google Earth support site:

http://earth.google.com/support

Google Earth Community
----------------------

The Google Earth Community is good starting point to learn about Google
Earth.  You can share data from Google Earth and learn about new features
in the client and how to use them.

http://bbs.keyhole.com

Minimum Configuration
---------------------

 - Windows 2000, or XP
 - Pentium 3, 500Mhz
 - 128M RAM
 - 400MB disk space
 - Network speed: 128Kbits/sec
 - 3D-capable video card with 16Mbytes of VRAM
 - 1024x768, "16-bit High Color" screen

Recommended Configuration
-------------------------

 - Windows XP
 - Pentium 4 2.4GHz+ or AMD 2400xp+
 - 512M RAM
 - 2 GB of free disk space
 - Network speed: 768 Kbits/sec or better (DSL/Cable)
 - 3D-capable video card with 32 MB of VRAM or greater
 - 1280x1024, "32-bit True Color" screen

[ NOTE: see http://bbs.keyhole.com/GoogleEarth-Beta-differences.txt
   for a complete list of changes between client versions ]

Compatibility
-------------

 - "Google Earth" is our free product and uses the same installer as
   "Google Earth Plus".  You can upgrade your Google Earth to Plus
   via the Help menu.  This version is for non-commercial use only.

 - "Google Earth Plus" is our subscription-based consumer product.
   It has all the functionality of the Free version and also includes:
   e-mail support (not just online), annotation, import from GPS devices
   and csv files. This version is for non-commercial use only.

 - "Google Earth Pro" is for commercial use.

 - "Google Earth EC" is the enterprise client.

 - Many new graphics-intensive features have been added, so graphics card
   compatibility is an issue.  Be sure to update your graphics driver.

 - This version supports Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

 - Windows XP-x64 is supported, though a number of users have reported
   problems with the program failing at initialization.  These issues
   have been fixed by switching to the 64-bit versions of the appropriate
   graphics card driver.

 - It does not run on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows ME
   or older operating systems.

 - There are known issues with "Windows XP for tablet PCs" and
   Windows XP Media Center.

 - It has also been tested successfully with Windows XP Service Pack 2
   (SP2) with this exception:

  * If you install Windows XP SP2, it may DOWNgrade your driver to
    a version earlier than is found on the manufacturer's website.  Some
    people report that such nVidia, Intel, and ATI drivers do not work
    with Google Earth.  To avoid this problem, please do the following _after_
 installing XP SP2: Go to the manufacturer's website, download, and
 install the latest driver.  Note: Refer to the driver *version number*
 -- not the date -- to determine how up-to-date your driver is.

 - A minimum screen size of 1024x768 pixels is required (it will run on lower
   resolutions but functionality is limited).  Also, "True Color (32-bit)"
   resolution and a sufficient graphics card are required for clamped filled
   polygons; otherwise, they will be displayed as outlines only.

 - The default OpenGL graphics rendering engine is the usually the best from
   both a performance and visual quality perspective, though some machines may
   need to use DirectX.  See the "Graphics Card" section below for more info.

 - The DirectX version of Google Earth can be selected in the Preferences
   panel.  If there is a problem at startup, you can also change it from
   the Start Menu item.  Use it on older machines and laptop computers that
   have trouble with the default OpenGL version.

 - The DirectX version of Google Earth requires DirectX 8.1 or newer.
   Microsoft's current release is 9.0c.  Installation details are here:

     http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=21468

 - The ATI Omega drivers are not supported. If used, they may produce frequent
   crashes in the client.  Use only manufacturer recommended drivers.

 - If you have a Quadro, FireGL, or other workstation card that has problems
   with printing, movie making, or clamped filled polygons (flashing or
   replicated on the screen), change one of the options in the advanced area
   of your Display Properties and then restart the Google Earth client.
   (eg: Control Panels->Display->settings->Advanced->3D for ATI)

   a)  For ATI FireGL, find the application configuration section
       tab, and choose "3dsmax."  ATI will soon be adding a "Keyhole"
       mode, so choose that if it is available.

   b)  For Quadro, select the "use unified back/depth buffer" check box.

 - If the client crashes, it will create a 'minidump' file that can help
   debug and fix the problem.  It does not contain any personal information.
   If the option is selected during installation, this is automatically sent to
   Google. Regardless of whether you send it to Google, a copy is made on your
   machine. The file names starts with "Google_Earth" and contains the version
   number/type, the date/time and has a ".dmp" extension. It is stored in your
   temporary directory - to see the most recent crash, sort by 'Date Modified'.

      Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp\
      Example Name: Google_Earth_EC_3.0.0xxx_051017-114650.dmp

 - If you have having trouble connecting to Google Earth servers and your
   machine has a software firewall such as:

      McAfee Personal Firewall Plus (also in McAfee Internet Security Suite)
      ZoneAlarm
      Norton Personal Firewall

   you may have inadvertently blocked Google Earth's access to the internet.
   Microsoft Windows XP service pack 2 does not cause this problem. A common
   symptom is Google Earth reporting lack of access and that it will instead
   use the local cache. Please verify that GoogleEarth.exe is not explicitly
   blocked and that access to "port 80" is available for non-browser
   applications. You can typically find these settings by opening your
   anti-virus software preferences.

   McAfee Personal Firewall Plus  (2005 ver 7.0)
      1) Open Google Earth and try logging in
      2) Open McAfee Personal Firewall Plus
         Start -> All Programs -> McAfee -> McAfee Personal Firewall Plus
      3) Click on "Internet Applications" in the left column
      4) Scroll down and select the "Google Earth" entry
      5) In the "Permissions" column it needs to say "Allow Full Access"
      6) If it does not say that, press the button on the bottom right
         that says "Allow Full Access", verify it's changed using last step

   Zone Labs ZoneAlarm
      1) Open Google Earth and try logging in
      2) Open ZoneAlarm
         Start -> All Programs -> Zone Labs -> Zone Labs Security
      3) Click on the "Programs" tab on the right of the window
      4) From the list that's displayed, if Google Earth is not shown, click
         the "Add" button on the bottom-right of the window. Navigate to:
            C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\GoogleEarth.exe.
      5) Select "Google Earth" from the list
      6) In the "Access" column for Google Earth, look purple question
         marks and red X's for the "Trusted" and "Internet" sub-columns. Left
         click and change them all to the green checkmark "Allow"

   Norton Personal Firewall  (2002 ver 4.0)
      1) Open Google Earth and try logging in
      2) Open Norton Personal Firewall
            Start -> All Programs -> Norton Personal Firewall
              -> Norton Personal Firewall
      3) On the left, click on the button "Personal Firewall"
      4) From the new options, press the button "Internet Access Control"
      5) From the new screen, if Google Earth is not in the list, press the
         "Add" button that is near the bottom of the window. Navigate to:
            C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\GoogleEarth.exe
         (Press ok if it says "You are attempting to add an application
          that already has rules.")
      6) Click "Permit this application access to the Internet" and then OK

 - Proxies may also block the use of Google Earth. Make sure your proxy permits
   access on port 80 to kh.google.com, geo.keyhole.com and auth.keyhole.com.

-  Google Earth uses Windows "Internet Options" (same as Internet Explorer) so
   be sure your proxy/network settings are correct in the Internet Options
   Control Panel.

New Features
------------

  - A faster, better disk cache mechanism has been added.  Upgrading from
    Keyhole 2 or pre-3.0.0464, you will lose your existing disk cache.
    This is unavoidable but we will try to avoid doing this in the future.
       NOTE: Your myplaces.kml file will NOT be lost.

  - The cache file location has been moved into Local Settings for new
    installations.  Old installations will keep your current location. This
    is to support roaming profiles (by not copying/backing up the cache).
    The cache locations are:

    New Installations (version 3.0.0693 or later):
        C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth\dbCache.dat
        C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth\dbCache.dat.index

    Upgrades (version 3.0.0616 and earlier):
        C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth\dbCache.dat
        C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth\dbCache.dat.index

  - Fly To, Local Search, and Driving Directions are now integrated with
    Google's search engine.  The last 10 search entries are remembered.

  - 3D buildings are currently available in 38 US cities, try San Francisco.

  - You can "drive to" and "drive from" any placemark, icon, or MyPlaces entry
    using the right-click context menu.

  - Search Results and MyPlaces now have a "snippet view," showing the first
    two lines of the description.

  - Streaming performance (updating data via the network) should be greatly
    improved.  Server infrastructure at Google helps, but the software has
    also changed to take advantage of it.

  - A new filetype, KMZ, is available.  KMZ files are KML files that have been
    zipped up along with their related files, such as image overlays.  This
    means that you can share image overlays and custom icons without having to
    publish the files on an external web server or mail them as an attachment
    with the KML.

  - More flexible tour mode: touring a line (e.g., the route from driving
    directions) or touring a folder is now possible.  Folder tours allow items
    to be displayed but not included in the tour.  This is done by limiting the
    tour to items only in the selected folder.

  - The description now appears in an on-screen balloon instead of in the side
    window.

  - Web page results from search and URLs embedded in description can now be
    viewed in an embedded web browser (or, via options/preferences, in your
    default external browser).

  - Rolling over an icon highlights the label.

  - Double-click in the 3D view to point-n-zoom:  The old single-click
    point-n-zoom mode has been moved to the options/preferences panel, but
    double-click on the earth and you will zoom in to that point.

  - The transparency slider now appears only when an image overlay is selected
    or when a folder of polygons is selected.

  - A new Latitude/Longitude grid is available.

  - A new overview inset is available from the View menu.  Use
    Tools->Options->Navigation to adjust its size and zoom.

  - The installer now has option in to specify the install directory, and the
    location for the dbcache.dat file and myplaces.kml.

  - The "High Res Places" and "World Places" menus have been removed and a
    small sight-seeing list has moved to the default_myplaces.kml file.  As you
    will see, tracking the high-resolution places in new Google Earth data has
    gone beyond the list stage.

  - New mouse controls for tilt and rotate.  These controls are accessed by
    pressing down on the scroll wheel (or middle mouse button).  To tilt the
    camera, hold the scroll wheel down while moving the mouse up and down.
    To rotate the camera, hold the scroll wheel down while moving the mouse
    left and right.  To rotate without tilting (e.g. to do a 360 degree
    rotation), hold the shift key and scroll wheel down while moving the
    mouse in a circular motion around the center of the screen.

  - A new G-force mode has been added to navigation:
    Drag using the right mouse button to control acceleration/deceleration.
    Drag using the left mouse button to control pitch and yaw.
    Switch modes using Tools/Options/Control or use Ctrl-G (GForce mode) and
      Ctrl-T (regular trackball mode).

  - Google Earth can now be installed without administrative privileges.
    This applies to Free/Plus only.

  - GPS data can now be viewed in Google Earth, either directly input from
    Garmin/Magellan devices (including Garmin USB interface), or by using
    .gpx or .loc file loading. (Plus/Pro/EC only)

  - Draw Path and Draw Polygon are now available, including extruded and
    at-altitude items. (Plus/Pro/EC only)

  - You can now select lines and polygons.  Use ctrl+left-click to select the
    object and show the balloon description.  Use ctrl+right-click to get
    the context menu (which will allow editing).

  - Style Templates can now be applied to "Import..." data and existing KML
    folders.

  - You can perform batch geocoding of street addresses using the Import menu
    item to import a .csv (comma-separated values) file (Plus/Pro/EC only)

  - Significant speed improvements in High-resolution Printing and Movie
    Making.

  - Icons and lines can now be displayed at altitude. Icons at altitude can
    have a "stem" connecting them to the ground.

  - GIFs (non-animated) can be used as overlays and icons.

  - ICO (.ico) files can be used as icons.

  - Folder open-state is now remembered.

  - Layer-enables (eg: terrain, lodging, earthquakes) are remembered between
    runs of the software.

  - Measure mode now optionally disables mouse navigation to simplify the task.

  - IMG SRC can now be used in the Description field and the image can be
    either http:// (remote) or C:\ (local).  Local images will be included when
    you send item as .kmz.

  - Movies can be saved as sequences of image files.

  - Movie Maker now has a 25/50 Frames-per-second (fps) option.

  - A KML spec has been published, see http://code.google.com

  - A Find option has been added to help location named items in MyPlaces, this
    is accessed using Ctrl-F.

  - The embedded web window can now be opened with a vertical split

  - The network link icon color/animation now reflects the status of the update

  - Google ads are now shown inside some of the information balloons.  These
    are experimental and will only be shown some of the time.

Fixes and Known Issues
----------------------
Fixes from 2.2:

  - In rare cases, Keyhole 2 would crash on exit while saving MyPlaces
    and lose either the session data or the whole file.  Many changes
    have been made to better protect against this situation, including
    a more reliable backup mechanism. This backup system will save copies of
    your myplaces.kml file in the same location where it is normally stored.
    Unless you specified a different location during install, it is located at:

        C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth\myplaces.kml

  - Entries in MyPlaces will no longer occasionally be re-ordered during an exit
    and restart.

  - Road labels are now drawn in higher quantity at low altitude.

  - Shared display styles from an imported folder can now be disabled by moving
    their contents into new folders and applying a new shared display style.
 
  - Labels in prints are no longer truncated.

  - Overlay images now retain their aspect ratio when imported.

  - Google Earth now works with Windows Server 2003

  - Multiple image overlays loaded simultaneously no longer sporadically fail
    to load.

  - Network link refresh will no longer sporadically fail and require program
    restart.

Known issues (November):

  - Automatic Keyboard Popup is not supported on the Tablet PC using Google
    Earth.  The user must manually activate the onscreen keyboard with these
    devices.

  - Google Earth may not run well on Media Center PCs

  - Google Earth may get "Could not load image" errore at startup on accounts
    with Unicode characters (e.g. accented characters: ِ).  This causes two
    images on the bottom corners to display "Image not found".  This typically
    occurs on partitions that used the FAT32, even if they have been upgraded
    to NTFS.  It also occurs on Chinese, Japanese and Windows account with
    unicode characters (e.g. Kanji).  To fix the problem, see here:

        http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=29462

  - On Chinese, Japanese and Korean versions of Windows, if your username
    includes unicode characters (e.g. Kanji), then you will get a "Could not
    save My Places" error when exiting the application.  You ,au also see the
    "Could not load image" error described above. To fix the problem, see here:

        http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=29573

  - Google Earth Free will not install on restricted domain account (restricted
    local accounts work correctly).  For more information see here:

        http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=29572

  - Some people with GPS devices using USB are having trouble importing data.
    COM->USB should work, but it depends on the quality of the adapter.
    IOgear's GUC232A does _not_ work, unfortunately.  SiiG and Magellan
    adapters seem to work well.

  - Driving-directions/measure/lines do not draw with thickness in DX.

  - A maximized window that is then full-screened will not return to maximized
    when full-screen is exited.

  - Drag-n-drop inside the Places window doesn't scroll and doesn't give enough
    visual feedback.  You can use cut-paste to move items long distances in the
    scroll.

  - If you enable a folder full of overlays, you may require more resources
    (video memory and main memory) than your system is capable of.  Killing the
    application may be your only exit.

  - Interlaced PNG image files are not supported as overlays.

GPS - Support
-------------

For more information about the GPS devices supported by Google Earth, see here:

    http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=29566

Some versions of Google Earth include the executable binary of
Robert Lipe's GPSBabel program.  That project has been developed
under the GNU Public License and any copies of it can only be
distributed if and only if they include a copy of the license. 

  The GPL license can be found in:
       C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth Plus\gpl.txt
       (or similar directory if you custom installed the application)

  GPSBabel source code can be found at http://www.gpsbabel.org/.

It's a great program for GPS device input and file translations.

Graphics Card/Driver Compatibility Notes
----------------------------------------

Typically, OpenGL has a better visual appearance due to standardized access
to features.  If you can, use OpenGL.  Typically, DirectX is more reliable
on older graphics cards and may be your only choice in some circumstances.
The ATI Omega drives are not supported.

 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 !ALWAYS update your graphics drivers!
 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For information on how to update your drivers, see here:

    http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=21462

Desktop machines can always have their drivers updated from the chip
provider's website (nVidia, ATI, Intel, S3...), but laptop machines rely upon
the manufacturer of the laptop (Dell, Toshiba, HP, ...) and how often
they choose to adopt/publish updates for their graphics drivers.  Even big-name
manufacturers can be up to 1 year behind the updates from the chip provider.
If you notice this, complain to your manufacturer about it.  Hopefully they
will increase the speed of their updates.

For Windows XP-64, you may need to install specific 64 bit versions of your
graphics card drivers.  Please refer to the manufacturer website for these
versions.

Some cards may need to be switched to DirectX mode.  This should happen
automatically but some cards need it to be done manually, particularly low
end ATI cards and low end S3 cards.  What follows are instructions for manual
switching, overview of manufacturer compatibility and then information on
specific cards.

**Manual switching to DirectX or OpenGL**
Start->All Programs->Google Earth->Set Google Earth to DirectX Mode, or
Start->All Programs->Google Earth->Set Google Earth to OpenGL Mode

Graphics Card Manufacturer Summary:

ATI - for startup crashes switch manually to DirectX, notes for laptop FireGL below
Intel - some instability, see notes below
Matrox - generally better supported in DirectX (should automatically switch)
nVidia - generally works, should automatically switch if needed
S3 - should automatically switch to DirectX, manually switch if crash occurs
SiS - consistent problems, more compatible in DirectX
Trident - consistent problems, may be more compatible in DirectX

Detailed Graphics Card Compatibility:

ATI FireGL* cards
  OpenGL - can have problems with movie/print/email-image when covered,
     To work around this problem on ATI FireGL's OpenGL, go to the properties
     panel of the Display, choose settings-->advanced-->select the tab named
     "OpenGL", "graphics" or "configuration" and select the "Keyhole"
     profile (which is available in the latest drivers).
  DirectX - Even though DirectX doesn't have the printing problem, OpenGL is
     recommended after the workaround above. Also DX may stop displaying the
     earth when removing or adding an external monitor, simply restart to fix.

DISCLAIMERS
===========

  * The Address Search feature in Google Earth does not guarantee pinpoint
    accuracy.  The application relies on a geocoded database that attempts
    to interpolate the location of an address. This interpolation is done by
    taking the total number of addresses in a given "block" and assuming an
    even distribution of the addresses along that block.

    [For example, in the 800 block of Main Street there are ten addresses in
     the database.  The application assumes that the fifth address is located
     at the half-way point of the 800 block.]
