A Problem with Riverview

You MUST merge thousands of object/hair packages (not mods as they need to be updated regularly) into a single package or your game will be running HELL slow because it needs to load thousands of objects!
Depends on the system. My system is only middling, but I have over a 1.2 gigs of cc, only 1/3 of it in .dbc, and my game runs like a charm. Since FPS Limiter, that is, since before FPS Limiter it would flit over 100 FPS and then freak out about it.

Btw, you can drag Riverview.sims3pack into decrapify and install it by launcher if you don't like to extract it into packages, it worked like a charm for me!
Pardon my noobishness, but what's the point of decrapifying a file if your keeping it as a .sims3pack and not converting it to a package file. Also if once you do decrapify the Riverview file as .sims3pack, do you leave the Riverview sims3pack in my documents folder and would that still show up in the launcher?

I decrapified the Riverview sims3pack and then installed via launcher because it just wasn't installing any other way. It now shows up in game, but all the Riverview Rabbithole locations have garbage names. It's not going to keep me from playing, but if I was my computer-challenged mom it would seriously bother me. If I have to do this to her computer as well it would be good to have a workaround/better way/fix for the garbage.
I lurk a lot and get most of my answers that way, but I figured since the subject was open I might as well put my variation in.
edit: Went back in and it seems that it's not ALL of the Rabbitholes, mainly just the Hospital, Military, Spa and Schools. I haven't changed anything in Riverview yet, not even placing a family.
***string of numbers*** I seem to remember seeing something about that somewhere, but... my memory isn't so good these days. I'll look into searching harder tomorrow when I feel like it. Today's been a long day.
edit2: Ran the Dashboard from MTS, and apparently the Riverview.package included in one of exangel's combined Store Item packages never actually showed up in my games, and thus the newly installed decrapified sims3pack version is in a slight conflict with it - despite being the only way I could get it to show up. *shrugs* Meh.

I'll search for this. What FPS you're using now? 30?

I don't like worlds in package format. Besides, if I convert it to package, the world drop down list will show strings of number for Riverview. Yes, after decrapify Riverview.sims3pack, treat it as a normal sims3pack, just put it in My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads and install by the launcher. TS3 launcher won't install Riverview for me before but after I decrapify it, it installs successfully.

Do you delete that riverview.package? If yes, is the game still showing garbage name for rabbitholes?

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.....
