Issues fixed
Running the game on 64-bit Windows
Although the game installer is 16-bit, the actual game is 32-bit. There are two methods to setup and play the game:
Installing the game via alternate installer
Setting up the game with an alternate installer[citation needed]
|
- Somewhere on the computer (ex. the Desktop), create a new folder called "SETUP".
- Copy the contents of the SimSafari CD and paste them into the folder that was created before.
- When everything has finished copying, go to
<Setup Folder>\SETUP and delete the ENSETUP.EXE file.
- Download the generic 32-bit installer and add it to the folder.
- Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Once the installer has finished, go to the installation folder and run the
SMSAFARI.EXE file to play the game.
|
Running the game without installer (if above method fails)
Setting up the game (Simple)[citation needed]
|
- Somewhere on the computer (ex.
<Hard Drive Letter>\Games ), create a new folder called "SMSAFARI".
- In the SimSafari CD, go to the
SMSAFARI folder.
- Copy the contents of the folder and paste them into the folder that was created before.
- When everything has finished copying, go into the installation folder and run the
SMSAFARI.EXE file to play the game.
|
Setting up the game (Advanced)[citation needed]
|
- Follow the steps from "Setting up the game (Simple)".
- Go into the "SMSAFARI" folder at your pasted location and edit the file "SMSAFARI.INI".
- Replace all the "C:" with the filepath of where "SMSAFARI" is located (ex: c:\smsafari\data → C:\Games\smsafari\data). This is important as it tells "SMSAFARI.EXE" where to search for the necessary files (NOTE: Do not use ".\" as the game will crash when one tries to save or load a savefile).
- If one wishes to change the folder name "SMSAFARI", ensure that change is reflected in "SMSAFARI.INI".
