Patch 1.8/2.3 plus Create a World Released
Batman:
Coconner- thanks for all the help and congrats for making TSR unwillingly suck your cawk. ;)
Quick question though, I have been idle from the game a while (before even the FIRST fucked up patch) and didn't know of the issues they presented (dumb of me to believe EA wouldn't shit on their own game/fanbase). Any way, I didn't install the last two store updates and therefore they aren't installed. Can I convert sims3pack to packages and install them to the mod>packages? If so, does Delphy's Sims3Pack Multi Installer (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=364038&c=1&ht=0&page=5&pp=25#startcomments) process this conversion or just simply extract the files?
Thanks!

i'm one of the unlucky ones...my hd crashed so i had to install everything from scratch. Unfortunatelly i patched before installing any store content... now i can only install free itmes and riverview. The workaround does not work for me since items are not installed. I had to use delphy's multi installer to manage to install all my store items and other sims3package files. However this slowed down my game like hell, it even lags sometimes and still half of my cc are missing... I think the only way around this is to unnistal, reinstall , then install all the launcher files , use workaround and THEN patch...Seriously EA is really trying to kill their customers interest by any means possible :'(

You're welcome! Hmm, I'm a bit perplexed about the TSR thing. I visited their site and posted directly to the moderator and to the guy who first brought me to attention telling them that they're free to post the contents of the file (it's not proprietary information), however, I do not want them to direct people to Google me.
I'm not the best one to ask about the other issues, I have never extracted Sims3 packs to packages. As of the last patch, the package files were a problem in that they slowed the game way down. You may want to ask Skadi about the method to use or try searching "converting Sims 3.packs to packages" and, in fact, she has done this already to some of the files and they are in the Pudding Factory: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,16949.msg508899.html#msg508899.
Once you have the packages installed, you will most likely need to go to MTS2 where they have a program called "Process Monitor" (courtesy of TickleOnTheTum) and Delphy posted a screenshot of a filter (but there are more). A bit tedious (like everything else with this game is becoming), but it may help.
simfan:
is there any way we can compress our Sims 3 packaged content , like we did to Sims 2 packages?
Aldo where at MTS can I find this Process Monitor?
coconnor:
I don't know if it's good to compress the files at this point, given that we're having problems installing them. I think you better search MOAR before making that decision. But, before this we were using S3rc which is available here at MATY under the "Armoire of Invincibility".
As far as the Process Monitor, if you read through this thread there are links, I believe, to the thread that has the Process Monitor in it (page 11 of the thread and the Delphy screen shots are on page 12 of the thread). It took me less time to go there and copy the link to the thread than to try to find it here, so here is the link: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=379085.
