I'm happy to report that pussy's suggestion of running decrapify on riverview.sims3pack works perfectly. my riverview now looks normal, no /world/riverview/blabla before anything :D yaaayyy.... on top of that, I decrapify all the store packages I got and the game is a lot faster in loading. usually it took about 3-4 times replaying of the main menu theme before I get into the which file to load or new game, now it doesn't even take one full song to get in there. yyaaayyyy again... and it is also much faster to go into the saved game, usually it takes about 5-8 minutes, now it takes about 2 minutes.. maybe less. thank God for whoever think of creating that decrapify program. finally, from my happy report, I finally get the Riverview, toyota prius, fanta fridge, and the nazsa klasza (sp.?) package installed! all thanks to that decrapify! I'll recommend that to everyone I know. now I'm going to go back, messing up Riverview's citizen life, because all the "missing" buildings are back, and their names don't start with /world/riverview/ anymore.... ^_^
thank you google for finding MATY for me, thank you MATY dot com for allowing me to be member, thank you pussy for keep giving this thread very useful tricks to fix riverview, and thank you all who've read, think, and responding to this thread (although it isn't mine), and hail all the creator of decrapify.....
If you have massive number of object packages (not mods) you can merge it into a single package by s3pe and hopefully, it will cut down more loading time.
Jessnova:
The problem with files that have been combined into one massive package is that it's a pain to un-combine them and get at one particular file to delete. (Riverview in this case.)
So no, I haven't done this yet. I don't have the time right now to mess with it. I can live with the Garbage until my OCD takes over when I have time to be bored. :P
gysca:
well, it seems that my happiness at that time were way too early. decrapify the stuff still won't let me what the Toyota Prius looks like in this game and it made some objects that were installed "perfectly" before decrapifying process, were gone. the nazsa klasza thingy are still nowhere to be seen. ugh.
anyway, my 7 y.o. now can play Riverview without anymore "mommmmmyyyyy.... helppppp" scream. saves me a lot of sweat from having to climb up and down the stairs ;D
edit: why EA or Maxis have to name the car PriusV? mislead me to toyota prius and it made me wrote it all over this thread and it was wrong! >:( ...btw, just something I thought of while cycling through the new buy catalog yesterday. why they made objects that's below the "best" in each category? like the car, why don't they made a car comparable to the most expensive (because it's the fastest) but lower the price and make it look different? weird. people want the best, or they force us to be satisfied with the so-so quality? geezzz...
edit 2: forgot to ask, I updated to version 1.7.9 from 1.3.24 (just to try and I want to reinstall that PriusV thing!) but launcher was dead. is that supposed to happen? so I uninstall and reinstall. now with version 1.4. something. hopefully it works.........
Freezerburn:
A user told me that I need to decrapify my save as well. I'll look forward for this and post the report. Btw, how about you try to backup all sims3pack in My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads and put it in a folder in desktop. Then uninstall all the "perfectly" installed content by using launcher. Then, decrapify all sims3pack that you put it in the desktop by dragging it into decrapify.exe. After that, copy and paste the decrapified sims3pack to My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads and install it again by launcher. I think once you decrapify some store content, you need to decrapify all of it. Anyway, if you don't mind, please report any progress you made.

Well, it's unclear why they make worthless crap furniture in most other categories, where the performance-to-price ratios are always increasing, meaning the better item is always the better, more economic purchase, and the worse items are often counterproductive (beds, showers), but cars have a decreasing performance-to-price ratio as you move up, so lower-quality cars are actually a better value for your money. You don't REALLY need it to be THAT fast, especially when it cost 10x as much. And things aren't just lower-priced clones of the "best" because that would be cheating.
