Original English version of an Urbz song from Gasoline Row
Up until literally 2 weeks ago I thought the band's name was "Love Commander" and the song's name was "Night After Night," because the singular instance of this song existing at all is this one YouTube video that puts the artist name first and the song name second.
Even then, there is pretty much nothing about this band on the internet. The person who uploaded that song also uploaded a handful of other Night After Night songs, but they didn't say where they're from or if they're from the same album, orrrr what.
The band does have a Discogs page, but it doesn't have Love Commander on it, just 2 instances of the band appearing on compilation albums. Although those compilation albums also both featured The Fucking Champs, who are another band that "translated" their music for The Urbz.
Additionally, this version is missing some elements that you can hear in the Simlish version, like the group chanting along during the chorus. Which I think is cool, like when they were asked to re-record their song for The Urbz they decided to spice it up with new things.
Author of the mod discovered that memory-usage-related pink soup is a result of an intentional safety check in the game's code, rather than a mistake in calculating texture memory.
So his experimental mod for TS2 RPC launcher basically tells the game to stop freaking out and turning stuff pink when shaders' memory usage goes over certain threshold. NOTE: it may get rid of the pink, but the game will still crash if you exceed 4GB limit.
There are two mod options to choose from:
Version 1 is more radical, it completely removes the safety check. You'll (probably) find out the shader's memory limit has been exceeded when your game crashes.
Version 2 is supposed to allow some pink soup at around 3.5 GB memory usage, near the danger zone, so you have time to act - so obviously, this one sounds more sensible.
And while I remain convinced that pink soup can occur because of other shader-related issues or f*cked-up memory settings, not just this "failsafe", if your game suffers from pink soup it's definitely worth a try!
