Registering RugOMatic? (Or a good alternative for the use case I want registered RugOMatic for)

4.1. On Windows, open the "Start" Menu (located in your Taskbar) and just type:

Code:

regedit

4.2. "Registry Editor" will appear at the top of the Start Menu, click on it. You will get a message saying "Do you want to allow this app...", click "Yes"
4.3. The "Registry Editor" window opens. At the top of the window (just below the menu where you can select File / Edit / View / etc.) you will see a bar with an address to some directory. Copy and paste the following address there (replacing the address that was already there) and hit "Enter". This address will be different if you are on a 64-bit Windows version or 32-bit:

Code:

- On 64-bit Windows versions:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Lush Creations\The Sims Transmogrifier

- On 32-bit Windows versions:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lush Creations\The Sims Transmogrifier

4.4. This is where RugOMatic stores its generated Serial Number (even though it refers to Tmog). On the right panel, under the column "Name", look for an entry named "SerialNumber" - do you see one? If you do, continue this tutorial until Step 4.10 and you're done. If you don't have the "SerialNumber" entry, skip this tutorial now straight to Step 4.10.

4.5. So you do have a "SerialNumber" entry, then double-click it
4.6. A new window opens, named "Edit String". For the field "Value data", add the following number. Then click "OK":

Code:

1740948824551711527614

4.7. We've now just configured RugOMatic's serial number. But now we need to add RugOMatic's Registration Key. At the address bar at the top of the window, copy and paste the following address there (replacing the address that was already there) and hit "Enter":

Code:

- On 64-bit Windows versions:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Lush Creations\The Sims RugOMatic

- On 32-bit Windows versions:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lush Creations\The Sims RugOMatic

4.8. On the right panel, under the column "Name", look for an entry named "LICENSE" and double-click it

4.9. A new window opens, named "Edit String". For the field "Value data" (which should be blank by default), add the following number. Then click "OK":

Code:

1978415670

4.10. Close the Registry Editor. Run RugOMatic (As Administrator) and see if the activation worked. If it worked, stop the tutorial here and you're all set. But if it didn't work, we will also need to modify the file "RugOMatic.exe" using a Hex Editor.

4.11. To modify the file "RugOMatic.exe" using a Hex Editor, we'll be using a free program named x64dbg

Code:

- Download x64dbg:

https://x64dbg.com/ 

  *note: click "Download" and chose the zip file with the most recent date starting with "snapshot_". At the time of this tutorial, the most recent version is "snapshot_2025-03-15_15-57.zip"

4.12. Extract all the files from this zip anywhere (after you're done, you can delete both the zip and extracted files). Navigate to the folder:

Code:

release\x32

4.13. Right-click "x32dbg.exe" and "Run as administrator"

4.14. Once x32dbg is open, go to File -> Open. Navigate to the folder where RugOMatic.exe is installed and open it

4.15. Right-click somewhere in the middle of the window and select Search for -> All Modules -> String References. A new window opens and you see a green bar at the bottom, loading all the strings (text) available in the program

4.16. Wait until it reaches "Total Progress 100%". Now just above this green bar, you will see a "Search" bar. Copy and paste the following there:

Code:

ergc

4.17. The String list is now showing only one module, at the top. Look for the part in red that has the text "ergc" and right-click on it. Choose "Follow in Disassembler"

4.18. You are now back to the main window but this time that line we chose just now (the one containing "ergc") is selected (in gray) at the top of the window. Right-click this line and choose Binary -> Fill with NOPs

4.19. A new window opens named "Size". Make sure you have the following numbers (they should all already be there by default):

Code:

Expression: 00000006

Bytes: 06000000

Signed: 6

Unsigned: 6

ASCII: ....

4.20. Click "OK". You will notice that the line we had previously selected now becomes 6 different lines, all containing the word "nop". We have just made this line false. This way, RugOMatic won't try to load its Serial Number from a registry entry that we don't want it to, so that the Patch can work

4.21. Go to File -> Patch File.... A new window opens named "Patches". Click the button "Patch File". Save it as "RugOMatic Patch.exe" in the same folder where RugOMatic is installed. You can now close the program x32dbg.

4.22. On Windows, go to the folder where RugOMatic is installed. Find the original "RugOMatic.exe" and move it somewhere safe (in case you need to revert back to it)

4.23. Rename our newly created file "RugOMatic Patch.exe" to just "RugOMatic.exe". Right-click on it and "Run as Administrator". This will prompt RugOMatic to generate that "SerialNumber" registry entry that you couldn't find before (in Step 4.4)

4.24. Close RugOMatic completely
4.25. Now that RugOMatic should have successfully generated the SerialNumber where we want it, refer to Step 4.1 of this tutorial to open Regedit
4.26. Refer to Step 4.3 of this tutorial to navigate to the path where RugOMatic has now added the SerialNumber (it will be in Transmogrifier's path)
4.27. On the right panel, under the column "Name", look for an entry named "SerialNumber" and double-click it

4.28. Follow the Steps from 4.4 until 4.10 of this tutorial so you can change the "SerialNumber" field to the number we want and also add the "LICENSE".

Done. You now have an identical copy of our Patch and RugOMatic should be fully activated for you.
