PSA: Windows 11 22H2 EATS TSBin Files (at least that’s what I suspect)
About a year or so ago I updated my windows 10 laptop to windows 11, which was no issue as far as games and things go. This latest update, which has been sitting on my to-do list for a few days (maybe weeks?) and I decided, what the hell, I’ll update it tonight. BAD IDEA.
I update my computer after almost an hour, cool, great, fine. I go to fire up TS2 and I get the dreaded “Sims 2 iS NoT iNsTaLLeD oN tHiS cOmPuTeR” error. Sometime last year I ran into this issue, and it was just a simple fix of changing the install path to the correct one within the registry. I go to fix the registry load up my game once more, same error.
I go to look at my game files, and the TSBin is gone on each EP with exception to the reshade/RPC files. I suspect something went down during the update process. So if you are wondering if you should update your Windows 11 to 22H2, the answer if you want to keep your game from being baleeted, it’s a big fat HELL NO. The tab system is nice though.
There’s nothing to lose now, so I’m going to experiment with some things to get this game working again without reinstalling. So any mods and stuff are going to be on the backburner.
Windows 11, version 22H2 borked the gain/volume when playing AAC/M4A files purchased (or Matched) from iTunes in any DJ software (including Serato DJ, Rekordbox, Mixxx, and Traktor). Here's my tweet thread from late last year into this past spring discussing the issues I had:
Transferred my Rekordbox database (and the iTunes library it reads from) to a new laptop, and now half of my tracks have their gain/trim/volume set super quiet (but randomly loud at points within the songs). Ugh, troubleshoot or just build a new database with my fingers crossed?

Apparently it's an issue with Rekordbox playing AAC/M4A files running on Windows 11, version 22H2. Lovely.

@MicrosoftHelps @PioneerDJglobal
Needing help with getting the right drivers for Rekordbox to properly read AAC/M4A files purchased from iTunes on Windows 11, v. 22H2. The volume of tracks keeps fluctuating. This is not an issue on other music file types (mp3, wav, aiff, etc).

Just following up on the Rekordbox / Windows 11 22H2 / AAC M4A volume fluctuation issue: Pioneer DJ said that other customers also have this issue, and are implying that it's something that Microsoft needs to fix. Help!!! pic.twitter.com/oxumICCcH9

MP3 vs. AAC/M4A on Rekordbox 6.7.0 on Windows 11, ver. 22H2:
The 1st track I play is an MP3 file that is playing correctly without any issue. The 2nd track I play is an AAC/M4A file purchased from iTunes, and you can see (and hear) the volume/gain fluctuations in the waveform. pic.twitter.com/kp4qQvkh0v

This is not unique to Rekordbox. A similar volume/gain bug happens in Serato DJ Pro on Windows 11 version 22h2 with AAC/M4A files. Again, the MP3 version plays fine.

Re: Rekordbox / Windows 11 version 22H2 / AAC M4A volume/gain/trim fluctuation issue:
So after some troubleshooting with @MicrosoftHelps via DM, they recommended that I submit the issue via the Feedback Hub that's built into Windows: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/send-feedback-to-microsoft-with-the-feedback-hub-app-f59187f8-8739-22d6-ba93-f66612949332
