LinkThis beta version is based the beta of version 3 that SimDing0 prepared a long time ago. It fixes all bugs I know about and/or have found. However, there may be additional bugs to be found, and this beta testing will hopefully shake them out.
Feel free to test this beta with whatever mods you like, on whatever game you like. But please, observe a sound installation order and don't install it on a game in progress. If there are any problems found, I will do what I can to fix them, as well as help you get past them locally.
This version is fully traified. None of the existing translations are complete, not even the Russian one (mainly because it was made against v2.3 and SimDing0 appears to have made a few changes to the text here and there in v3). Aside from translating the new stuff, translators are also encouraged to check the existing text. I saw at least one translated string that switched between Spanish (I think) and English mid-sentence. Stuff like "Ein Happy End für Sanik und Claire" also makes me wonder. More details on the exact status of each translation can be had, given interest from translators and time for me to produce it.
