launcher bug
Indiasong:
I only use the launcher to install things, not to start the game, and my dbcs appear in game. But the last things I put in the downloads folder to install disappeared along with the rest.
The launcher seems to lose the path to the cache folder, or to not recognize the files in it.
And if I want to not depend on people converting for me, I need the launcher. Or go the more complicated route with converting to packages and merging them.
Edit: consider this thread as an ode to my stupidity: the launcher had sent my downloads folder to the bin, replaced by a virgin one, and that was why it was empty.
My initial problems were real though.
Sorry for wasting your time. :-[

I find that's easier than fixing the launcher. After all, EA will just break it again with the next patch.
Trystiane:
I was doing the s3pe merge process until Pes put the decrapify option in the s3rc tool. It really works and its really easy and fast. Just run all your save games and library (house) files through as well as your sims3packs (before installing) and everyhting works like it used to.
Indiasong:
Just tried it for the new update, didn't work: original/working launcher=needs an update compressed/working launcher= hangs forever decrapified/normal launcher=says success but not installed decrapified/working launcher= hangs forever (I decrapified by dragging, and then through DOS).
Edit: in fact, even though they don't show as installed, they are. I can see them twice, as I put a big package in mods.
I tried to install cc, and it won't show as installed, same as ea content.
Indiasong:
Latest discoveries: no cc I install gets the installed state, even though they are a success. But I had a look in my cache folder, to see if something had changed, and I have 15 dbcs, some with exactly the same size, and a few minutes apart. I think they all get installed, and the launcher doesn't realize they are already installed when I try again.
Any suggestions?
