Game Description

The Movies is a business simulation game created by Lionhead Studios for Microsoft Windows and subsequently ported to Mac OS X by Feral Interactive. It was released on 8 November 2005 in North America, and 11 November 2005 in Europe after reaching gold status on 8 October 2005. The game allows players to take the role of a Hollywood film mogul, running a studio and creating films. Much has been made about the film-making aspect of the game, as it allows players to easily create viewable works or machinima. It won Best Simulation Game at the BAFTA Video Games Awards and was nominated for best game at the Game Developers Choice Awards.

  1. No errors but my actors are all just black voids. Like their clothes, faces, everything is jet black. Anyone know of a way to fix it?

    • You need the 4GB Patch by NT Core or do it by your own:
      Get an CFF explorer and set the flag to >2GB memory:
      Choose the exe, go to the left menu, click file header, click “App can handle >2gb address space” or “Large Address Aware”, save.

  2. Could someone help me? I keep getting the error “Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.”
    I need help with this, I searched it up and nothing helped me out.
