Installing pirated store stuff?
snowbawl:
If you had read the thread I linked earlier, you would have found explicit instructions on how to get your store content to magically reappear WITHOUT doing anything drastic. Took me all of two minutes, voila. I even got Riverview to show up, how exciting! That took another minute.
If another patch comes out that borks that set-up, would take me all of two minutes to change it back to the way it was.
Why would I resort to such a quick, easy, and harmless fix? Because I am not an idiot.

I saw all the threads actually. I've been reading thread after thread on this site for days now. Thanks for your help. Have a nice day.

Poor Jonus. You got yourself caught in the middle of two lines of thought at MATY.
Since you have tried the convert to package theory and met with problems, now maybe try the other method. Even if you are right and Sims3 will continue to have store/launcher problems, you will be able to play your game in the meantime.
As a sidenote, I am a gamer not a programmer also. Frequently I have no idea what the posts here are talking about, but I follow the directions these brilliant folks post and generally come out ahead. If I can't find the answer here I check at ModtheSims and compare the two sites. Between the two I have never had a problem that I couldn't identify and usually solve (assuming my computer was capable of the fix). Just overlook the "idiot" kinds of comments and go with the real meat of what is being said.
I hope you can get your game running okay, until the next EA screwup!

I usually try to stay out of the fray here, but the method suggested by snowbawl is simple and easy to undo. It should always be tried first. The conversion to packages is tedious and hard to undo. It should be considered as a last resort.

I made a mistake and went with the package file route but am working on the other one now. It wasn't completely a bad thing re-installing all the store content as I was able to organize some files and get rid of ones I didn't want anyway.
However, my only problem now, is, since I re-downloaded all my store content, those files don't appear in the .dbc files. So that's an issue.
I usually seem to go the more tedious and destructive routes with these kinds of issues which is one reason I stay away from programming. I'm not mad or anything. I've been coming to this Awesome site for over 5 years now, so I know what to expect when posting.
