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
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
