Patch 1.8/2.3 plus Create a World Released
Ayana:
Okay, this is starting to get annoying. After updating to 1.8/2.3, I'm getting consistent CTD after the game finishes the loading process. I've tried removing my cc, clearing cache files, etc. Nothing seems to work, and I haven't been able to find anything in this thread to fix it.
Looks like it's the old uninstall/reinstall/repatch dance again. >:(
Edit: After reinstalling, it was still crashing. Went over my gamefiles with a fine toothed comb, and found pre-1.8/2.3 Awsomemod lurking in my Sims 3 install mods, instead of in WA, where I'd thought I'd moved everything. Oh well, nice and clean now, only took at the most an hour total time away from me.
Mosquito:
Are you using Awesomemod? Did you d/l the 1.8/2.3.3 version of it?
OT - I decided it was time to update my game, as borked-up it might turn out in the end. So, if everything works out OK, the only thing I should be worried about are new store contents, and how to install them. I`m thinking about (put your poking sticks away!) TSR Merlin...Launcher refused to install new houses I d/l, notifying it needs "software update", so I had a go with the Merlin and it worked flawlessly...what do you people think? Could it work?
coconnor:
The launcher (at least the base game launcher) has been installing all third party custom content just fine. The only problem is with shared store content, AFAIKT.
Don't know anything about this TSR Merlin. It will be interesting to see the reactions/opinions of others here. As a test, try to install some store content from the Pudding Factory download thread using this program and report back.
Mosquito:
Ai, ai! Just have to find something from the store I don`t already have installed...
EDIT
O_o...it...WORKED...
I d/l that christmas stuff set (deco), opened each s3p with merlin and installed. Opened the launcer and saw that they did show up in downloads section, but didn`t have the "installed" icon. Started the game, loaded a house and - there they were! However - where did they install? Since I bypassed the launcher, there were no files in DCCache folder. Did they go directly to my .dbc files? Coconor, I followed your instructions and moved those to my mods folder, modifying the Resource file (you know, the workin method we all used), so...did the Merlin install them there? The items don`t have a custom icon in game.
K, is someone willing to second this one?
Botswana:
TSR Merlin seems to install .package versions of your sims 3 package files into your "Mods" folder. I don't use TSR Merlin, because it's a buggy piece of shit, and because converting sims 3 package files into regular package files makes my game lag like crazy. ???
