Reinstalling v5.1

Post by Aleksander_B »

Hi all,

I had to delete my whole sim and reinstall it all after having spent three weeks of debugging the sim who had problems with a addon (Which I never found out the source of).

I want to reinstall 5.1 as a lot of the addons I use is not 5.2 ready yet.
But I can only find the legacy clients at the download page at LM.

Can I download v5.2, uninstall 5.2 client and install 5.1 client and be good to go?

Quite frankly, I would not do that.

If you decide to do it, it would be at your own risk.

But how do I get the v5.1 files. As only client for 5.1 is available for download?

The answer to that is quite simple.

If you have a version of a product available for download where a large number of known bugs are fixed, would it then be logical to also have the earlier version available there the bugs are present?

No, it would not.
