If you REALLY want to use Launcher to install Sims3Pack with 1.8/2.3
Aoife Aella:
Ah, ok. I had avoided that thread on account of the fact I thought it was all torrents. I guess I should have looked closer.
DOS! Now there's something I understand...
starsong:
Not to inflict my idiocy on anyone, but how or where would I use DOS to make this work?
If it needs to be inserted into the Resource.cfg file could someone post an example, or, if not, explain where and how using DOS deviates from the instructions in the original post?
I apologize for my ignorance and appreciate any assistance.
Aoife Aella:
I believe JM meant using DOS-style names instead of the junction point, to fix the problem of the Resource.cfg not reading spaces.

Rather than using fancy junction things which don't work quite the same in, say, Mac or XP, you could just use Ye Olde DOSSE names.
Like, say, ..\..\DOCUME~1\LUSERNAME\MYDOCU~1\ELECTR~1\THESIM~1\DCCache
Ah, but why do it the simple way when you can do it the needlessly complicated way? ;D
I have a habit of overcomplicating things. Of course, you're right, the old DOS 8.3 names is much simpler and you don't need the junction. My Resource.cfg looks like:
PackedFile ../../../Users/Shawn/DOCUME~1/ELECTR~1/THESIM~1/DCCache/*.dbc
Can't start with a / for root for some reason, so the ../../../ at the beginning is needed.

Thank you all! That makes far more sense than what I was thinking.
On a related note, if I decide to reinstall my game completely - base game and WA - can I use the bin from that installation (before I patch of course), or will I need to track down 1.79/2.2.8?
If I do need 1.79/2.2.8, does anyone know where they may be found?
