So I can play this in an XPSP3 environment (like all previous LA versions)

Maybe not..

JHC

1) Install the 1.4007 version of the game. 2) Delete the appdata and mods folders. 3) Inside the gamedata folder: delete the spawns folder (if there is one) the spawns.db0, textures.db6 archives. Then in the levels folder delete la21_generators2.db0 4) Unpack the downloaded archive into the folder with the installed game confirming the replacement of the files. 5) Launch the launcher and in the mod section, install LADC Extended. (YOU MUST ENABLE THIS MOD TO GET UPDATES FOR IT) 6) After installing LADC Extended, you can install mods from the launcher to taste.

NO SALE.

It was a nightmare to get this 1.4007 crock to work in XP. The doubly damned "Installer" worked exactly once.

I thank you for the swift reply to my query in any event. But seriously??

You pretty much lost my attention after 1.4002.

HOW WAS STUFFING THE KITCHEN SINK INTO A GAME MORE IMPORTANT THAN A STRAIGHTFORWARD SETUP.EXE?

PS I haven't smoked in nearly 20 years.
