Subfolders for downloads?
Kittycataussie:
OK, so I am not the best when it comes to making crap work, but I have a folder in my Sims 3 folder that says "Downloads" is this what the launcher eats and turns into fertilizer? Because what I see in mine has everything named like normal things. If I am just a dummy reading things inside out please don't be offended, I just seem to have an uncanny ability to find exactly what I am looking for, but have it turn out to be the wrong thing.

What is in Downloads, should be just the Sim3pack files. Those are not the real downloads that are read by the game. Those are just like Sim2pack files, the items in the launcher installs from that folder. As a test, you can put a Sims3pack on your desktop, double click it, the launcher will open, now install the item. You should now have two copies of the Sim3pack. One on your desktop, one in the Downloads folder. Or at least, that seems to be how it was working for me.

In theory, you could get EAxis content to load from resources.cfg, but it wouldn't HELP, since the names of EAxis content files are TOTALLY USELESS. I personally advocate that the community boycott the horrid launcher method, as it becomes COMPLETELY UNMANAGEABLE in a GIANT UNSORTED LIST OF POO, and leave that as the hellhole of EAxis content.
How can we circumvent the launcher? I am all for boycotting it.

Jfadetool, Echotool, Petertool, Delphytool... pick one ;).
I personally recommend Jfade's, because of the shiny awesome features, Mac functionality and above all because he's Jfade ;).

I've just learnt that I can no longer keep my CC in subfolders if I want to use Pescado's AwesomeMod. Bawww.
I got someone to double check what I was doing with installing everything and he came to the conclusion that somewhere in the AwesomeMod, it changed how other hacks/mods are recognised by the game. I tried 2 mods in particular, 'nomosaic' and 'nointro' by rick on MTS (they were the fastest to test) and they both stopped working as soon as they were put in subfolders.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
