These files will install a new game loading
image for the game The Sims (TM) and the expansion packs. This image is
the big image that is shown during the time the game is loading.

I'm assuming that you installed "The Sims" into the default location:

C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\

The same directory where all the following folders are: downloads, gamedata,
music etc.

If you installed "The Sims" into another location, then you will need to
extract the zip file in that directory instead.

Create a folder called OTHER and put it in the C:\Program Files\Maxis\The
Sims\UIGraphics folder.
Put the setupuk.bmp in the C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\UIGraphics\OTHER\
folder.

If you have another language installed than English then use the
following naming convention to rename the setup.bmp file to correspond
with the language you use.

US English - Setup.bmp
UK English - setupuk.bmp
French - Setupfr.bmp
German - Setupde.bmp
Italian - SetupIt.bmp
Spanish - Setupsp.bmp
Dutch - SetupDu.bmp
Swedish - SetupSw.bmp
Portuguese - SetupPg.bmp
Japanese - Setupjp.bmp
Polish - SetupPo.bmp
Traditional Chinese - SetupTC.bmp
Simplified Chinese - SetupSC.bmp
Thai - SetupTh.bmp
Korean - SetupKo.bmp
If you want to be able to restore to the original game images be sure to
make a back-up copy and store it some place safe BEFORE replacing it with this image.
