Installing pirated store stuff?
jonas:
Sorry - I didn't see that as a double post so much as rather an update of what I was trying to do.
As for the idiocy, sure; I guess I'm an idiot because none of this makes any sense at all to me as I'm a gamer - not a programmer. All I want to do, is, make my houses and families so that they can run through the flowered fields of Sunset Valley and procreate to their little pixelhearts content. All I know, is, I've been unable to play this game without the cc because nothing looks right without it. The above posters indicate that package files can easily be substituted without much lagging. I suspected that the downloaded files in the documents folder and on the launcher were contributing to my giant lag, but perhaps it's just the package files after all. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me as they don't take up nearly the space that my Sims 2 package files did. I've already stated how I feel about the workaround. Do you have any ideas about this?
snowbawl:
Alrighty "gamer", let's test a theory.
Did you have store content installed via the launcher in Sims3pack form prior to the latest patch?
jonas:
Yes. All of my store content was installed via the launcher.
snowbawl:
I am assuming that your store content suddenly disappeared post patch, yes? So why not use the quick fix? Instead, you uninstall and delete everything and then turn it all into package files, knowing that this very process might cause great lag on certain rigs?
jonas:
Yes - that's exactly what happened. Originally, I was just going to wait until the next patch to see what happened, but my day off got the better of me and I really wanted to play. The package file replacement method seemed like a more realistic option than the fix. (I didn't know the lag would be so much!) I believe that eventually the "fix" will be useless or need to be fixed further and that ultimately, package files will be the only solution to keeping the cc rather than using the launcher. Maybe I am way off on that I'll concede, but, I would like to understand more about what is causing this lag as my computer shouldn't be having an issue with that.
