- Fixes broken date stood up timer.

Check out the Documentation if you're interested in the new features for Lua script modding. You can do a lot more now!
- Firstly, download the latest version from the releases tab.
- Extract the zip. Inside you will find "TSBin", "Downloads", "TSData" and "Lua" folders.
- The "TSBin" and "TSData" folders go into your game's installation directory -> EP9, overriding the folders that are already there. Example: "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 2 Legacy Collection\EP9"
- Note: If you had a version of TS2 Extender already installed older than 0.8.0, you might have a Lua folder in TSBin. Remove it, as this folder now lives in the Documents folder below.
- The "Downloads" and "Lua" folders go into your "Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 Legacy" folder. Make sure custom content is enabled in your in-game settings.
- If everything went well, you should have the new features in your game, and you will also have a new cheat command: "ts2extender", which will tell you the current TS2 Extender version (Cheat console can be opened with Shift+Control+C) :
On Wine, the installation is the same, minus an extra step to configure the ASI loader proxy:
- In winecfg, select the "Libraries" tab. Under the "New override for library" dropdown, select wininet and click "Add"
The mod can be configured via the .ini file.
