This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default No Intro for Sims 2 UC?
I tried following the instructions in the following TS2 No Intro Article, but that is dated and not for the Ultimate Collection. I was wondering what the new directory would be to delete both the EA (Whisper) and Sims 2 (Dance Ad) intros and go straight to the loading menu?

Article in question: http://modthesims.info/article.php?t=92314

Have you tried searching for ealogo_audio, and intro_eng_movie on your computer? You would know where to delete them from.

There are a few of them in UC because several EPs updated them, but they're all in the same place within the EP folders (TsData/Res/Movies). So, Rosebine's suggestion is a good one - just head into Program Files/Origin Games/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, search for those file names and delete all of them.

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

Okay I will do that! I made the thread because there were different ones in the different EPs and I wasn't sure which one(s) to delete! Thank you!

For anyone reading this thread wondering if it worked:

It did, but there is a slight pause with a black screen before it loads the start menu! Don't fear! Everything loads up just fine and nothing is corrupted, etc.! If you are only able to find the 'ealogo_audio' files and not the other 'intro' files that is fine - deleting the '_audio' ones will delete both the intros. And please be aware that there are quite a lot of the audio files.

(P.S. Go to the Program Files (x86) folder and search for 'ealogo_audio' and all of them will pop up. Happy Simming!)

Yes! It does pause a bit, and yes, this is totally normal. I do not use UC, I am on discs..but i remember having one ealogo_audio for each EP and SP I had, so..all of them.
When i installed The Sims 2 on my daughter's new laptop I asked her about it..and she insisted on keeping the intro movie, she said it reminds her how she used to love it when she was small...
ahah! It's all a matter of taste

Oh I used to do this as well. It takes a second right?
But I guess..since I had found the files, i got curious and tried, and it did work. lol Also i guess, for people who have tones of CC, and are already forced to wait long before their game starts..having an intro on top of it all might become a tad annoying.

Talking of intro screens and all, my current favourite thing is this:

Makes such a change to the start up to the game. I've been making new screens and everything.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.
I'm here on tumblr and my site, tflc
