EA store stuff in *.dbc format - a torrent
bumblebee:
Witch, you are AMAZING! ;D I have been missing my store items.
Sadly, I noticed that the Jet Set Teen and Adult sets are missing. :'( Too bad considering they are my favorite clothing set, but I can do without.
AnotherMoron:
This is also good for people with lower patches who'd rather avoid the .sims3pack format. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but installing all those files always took forever!
Sexual Innuendo:
Well, I am officially stupid. No matter what I do, I cannot get this to work.
With the base WA, I tried to put the .dbc files into the stated folder (C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCCache), but it didn't exist. So I created a new folder called DCCache and put them in there.
I also put them in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages\DCCache, as that is where I have AM and AMConf installed to. Resource.cfg is in there as well. I would have put them all in my WA Files, but the game would not start when I did so.
The game wouldn't run after all of these changes, stating that the Base and Expansion were not of compatible versions, so I updated to 2.3 and the game opened, but there are none of the wonderful store items inside.
I can't figure out what I've done wrong. I'm running an Arr'ed WA and a legal copy of TS3, if that makes any difference.

Your resource.cfg file should look like this.
Priority 500
DirectoryFiles Mods/Packages/... autoupdate
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.dbc
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.dbc
The resource file lives in the C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 as that is where you have your framework.
OR
Pescado has come up with a better way.
Put this line in your resource.cfg instead:
PackedFile ../../../Users/YourName/DOCUME~1/ELECTR~1/THESIM~1/DCCache/*.dbc
You don't need to keep the .dbc files in two places, just in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages\DCCache
Turd Ferguson:
Excuse my ineptitude, but how exactly does this work? Do I need to modify my Resource.cfg file to make it recognize the files? I also would like to know what folder I need to place these in, and whether or not EA's little Store Mode malarkey will get in the way. Thank you.
EDIT: Oh I'm an idiot, didn't even see the second page of the thread. I'm going to test this out later today and see if it works.
