Thank you for downloading this patch! I hope it works well for you, but I hold no guarentees.

[Disclaimer]
Do this at your own risk, and make a backup of your game directory. I'm NOT responsible for save-game corruption, park glitches, rides flipping upside down, or Buzzy wearing a coconut bra and doing the hula.

Installation (GOLD EDITION):

* If you have the Gold Edition disc, now would be a good time to install it with the game. DO NOT LAUNCH GAME AFTER INSTALL
* Once you've done that, go to your game folder
	64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\SimTheme Park\
	32-bit: C:\Program Files\SimTheme Park\
* Extract everything in the archive into the folder. Windows will ask if you want to replace a bunch of files. Say yes. You know you wanna.
* Double click the .reg file I've included, and click "Yes" on the window which pops up.. It enables the no CD Executable which makes the game run. If you're worried the .reg is a virus, open the file in notepad. It only modifies registry entries regarding the game.
* Although not required, you should reboot. Just to make sure there isn't any cached files sitting in memory or anything, which could screw up the patch.
* Now play the game

Installation (no Gold Edition):

* Install the game as normal. DO NOT LAUNCH GAME AFTER INSTALL
* Download the 2.0 patch from here http://www.fileplanet.com/45367/download/Sim-Theme-Park-v2.0-Patch-Upgrade
* Install the patch once downloaded
* Navigate to the game folder
	64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\SimTheme Park\
	32-bit: C:\Program Files\SimTheme Park\
* Extract everything in the archive into the folder. Windows will ask if you want to replace a bunch of files. Say yes. You know you wanna.
* Double click the .reg file I've included, and click "Yes" on the window which pops up.. It enables the no CD Executable which makes the game run. If you're worried the .reg is a virus, open the file in notepad. It only modifies registry entries regarding the game.
* Although not required, you should reboot. Just to make sure there isn't any cached files sitting in memory or anything, which could screw up the patch.
* Now play the game

___---===I messed up, what do I do?===---___

Ah yes, I knew somebody would end up down here. Let me guess: You launched the game after installing it, it crashed, you applyed the patches, and now it's not working at all?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Here's the fix.

* Uninstall the game using Add or Remove Programs
* Navigate to your program files directory, and delete the folder "SimTheme Park"
 	64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\
	32-bit: C:\Program Files\
* On 64-bit: Navigate to C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\
* On 32-bit: C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\
* Delete the folder "SimTheme Park"
* Reboot your system once or twice (yes, twice does help sometimes)
* Follow whichever guide applies to you above.

___---===I try to run the disc installer, but it won't start!===---___

Crap. This is actually a known issue which happens about 50% of the time, and I'm currently looking into it. Right now the best you can do is this:

* Reboot your computer
* Open the disc in Windows Explorer
* Run "autorun.exe"
* Click "Install"

If that doesn't get the installer to start, there's nothing you can do (to my knowledge). I'm still looking for a way to fix this.

___---===IT'S STILL NOT WORKING WHY ASDFGHJKL===---___

You have to remember this game is 15 years old, now. There's only so much I can do to keep it running. Some computers will just outright refuse to run the game, no matter what I do. If this is the case, I'm sorry. Your computer just isn't compatible.

BUT HEY GUESS WHAT? You can help me with this! Get me a full system report of your computer by doing this:

* Press the Windows key + R
** Alternatively, open the start menu and search for "Run", and open it.
* Type "dxdiag" and press "OK" or the enter key
* If a window comes up, press "Yes". It'll help me get more information on drivers.
* Click "Save All Information..." in the bottom right of the window
* Save it to your desktop
* Open it in notepad, then copy and paste everything in it to pastebin.com
* Do not select anything for Sytax highlighting. If you must set a Paste Expiration for some reason, please set it a minimum for "1 Day". That way I have more than enough time to collect the report.
