Patch 1.8/2.3 plus Create a World Released

<< < (44/84) > >>

coconnor:
Don't use the launcher to start the game.  Use 3-booter instead.  Available from the "Armoire of Invincibility" thread.  The launcher should only be used to install Sims3 packs.

ETA:  This works in conjunction with AwesomeMod.

I was following this tutorial and as easy as it was to change the cfg to a txt... it wouldn't revert back to a cfg.  It would remain a txt file despite the cfg exetnsion seeing as how I could not access the txt ending.  Is there some other way I can open it to alter this?  I tried to play around in properties, but no luck so far.  


    I had my extensions hidden, but I was able to save from a txt back to a .cfg. When you are in the text file, choose "Save as" and then there should be a drop-down box that mentions file type. Switch to make it say "All Files" before saving as Resource.cfg.   That worked for me at least, if I ignored that step it only came out as resource.cfg.txt.

     I ended up taking my DCC folder out after all, as Riverview wouldn't show up. And when trying to install it through the Installer, it would result in a game crash. I'll assume because of it showing up in two diff. folders, (Wherever the launcher put it, plus my DDC folder in the mods folder)

Surely one could install all official/arrr'd addons with an/the alternative launcher, copy the .dbc cache to the mods dir (using above tweak) and then install all legit content to a clean .dbc through the official launcher. This way one could have the best of both worlds and would only need do a .dbc switch-a-roo whenever they wished to update one or the other with new arrr'd content.

Please elaborate.  What alternative launcher?  I think this would come in very handy if we have a problem "sharing" store content in the future.

I was wondering if anyone tried adding the two riverview files from the world cache folder to their Mods/packages folder and if it is possible to copy the riverview.world file there and just add another line to the .cfg for the *.world.

(I haven't been brave enough to update yet. My legacy family is in Riverview.)

I also wondered if the problem with cc occurs only with files that have been compressed. Many legit store files were compressed.
