''' These are TGI Type codes for files with unknown names or purpose'''. Any insight into the type or description of these files would be appreciated :)

* [[0C900FDB]] These are all in lot packages.
* [[2C310F46]] in game popups (like in tutorial)
* [[7B1ACFCD]]
* [[8B0C79D6]]
* [[9D796DB4]]
* [[AB9406AA]]

* [[CC2A6A34]]
* [[CC8A6A69]]
* [[EC44BDDC]]

And that should be all the TGI Type codes used in The Sims 2. The TGI Type codes are the same in BOTH *.package formats.

P.S. this may or may not be an entire list of sounds in the game. [[SoundTables]]
