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
