Ask the Experts / uninstalling expansion packs

Hello, I'm a new member here, but I'm familiar with the site. I was wondering if anyone knew how to uninstall the rct2 expansion packs?

One way to do it would be to go into your RCT 2 directory and take out the scenery objects and rides that comprise the expansion packs. However, this would take a long time. Getting rid of the scenarios is easy, as those names correspond with their actual in-game names. The rides and scenery are Dats though, and have rather cryptic names that don't follow a pattern most of the time. Some scenery objects are easier than others, but purging them all would take a lot of time and patience. If you're just looking to clean out your dat folder though, its sometimes worth it (especially when you're trying to make a workbench and have to sort through all the annoying WW/TT stuff.

Then again this is under the assumption that you are using the Tripple Thrill Pack. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it for the individual disks.

or he could just visit my site and have a list of all the expansion dat files he would need to clean out.

Press the windowskey + "R" on your keyboard together and in the command line popping up enter:

control.exe appwiz.cpl

It should bring up the "Add/Remove Software" dialogue. Look for the expansions and click "Uninstall" one after the other. It should run the uninstaller accordingly and remove all objects along with it.

Thanks everyone! However, Im using the triple thrill pack, so would it be possible to uninstall only the expansion packs?

correct its not possible that way to uninstall them with it

So if I just bought a normal rct2 game, would i be able to recover my saved data from the TTP?

Yes, just copy the map for saved games.
The items in those save games should reinstall when opened and if you miss any objects afterwards... just ask.
