The TS3 Store: post your questions, updates, and tech help here
JustASimmer:
Can anyone explain to me this conflict and what it means?
I was using Delphy's dashboard tool after having an issue (as soon as I selected a household to play in LP and clicked select, I was stuck in map view with all gameplay buttons gone).
It showed two conflicts (the dark orange color): "doorSingleFairy_batch11" and "paintingGothic_batch9".
I actually purchased those two items myself.
I decrapified them along with my other purchases.
The only items from here I have downloaded are the venues, Lucky Palms, and Sunlit Tides.
My mods are all updated--primarily Nraas and Buzzler from MTS. I took out the Hybrid mod from Nraas after reading about an issue with KT's fixes I think it was.
I've never had this issue before, so if anyone could shed some light I would appreciate it.
jezzer:
Why would you even download items from here if you've already purchased them from the Store? Why are you decrapifying items you purchased? WHY ARE YOU OVERCOMPLICATING THINGS?
JustASimmer:
In another thread bitterquill spoke of decrapifying everything and kissing_toast had mentioned that I could delete the DCcache and the DCbackup to start over "fresh" with my store downloads, so that's what I have done.
I was not sure how well the vanilla store content that I had already owned (only a few things) versus decrapified stuff here would mesh together, so I just made a clean slate and decrapified everything.
My apologies if I frustrated you :-[
JustASimmer:
Everything was working fine but now I have another issue.
I noticed some odds and ends items in the launcher were not installed though they said they already were.
The items actually do show up except the Lucky Simoleon Casino and the Regency Arcade (which are part of the ones still in downloads folder).
What is causing this?
I decrapified all items from each update link and I installed them to the launcher at about 75 a time.
Like I said, most of the items are installed and stay installed.

I assume you mean that the rest of the associated items from the sets are installed and working, but the lots themselves do not appear in your bin? This occurs when the Launcher fails to properly install lot packages to the Library folder even though the rest of the files are properly installed in DCCache and DCBackup, so it "thinks" that the files are all where they should be. This is problematic when you try to reinstall because the dbc files register the lots as already installed, so you can't reinstall over them. I don't know if this is a personal hardware issue or a more general case of crap coding on EA's part, but either way it's easy to work around.
You have three options:
1. Uninstall the Sims3Pack via the Launcher (removing references to that content in the dbc's will allow you to attempt to reinstall) and keep trying until it works; you can tell if it worked without opening the game by looking for the lot package to appear in the Library.
2. Move your dbc files out of DCCache (don't delete them). Reinstall the Sims3Pack that contains the lot, making sure a new lot package appears in your Library folder. If it still doesn't, just delete the temp dbc file and try again until it does. Then move the original dbc files back into DCCache, allowing them to overwrite the temporary one.
3. Just leave the Launcher as it is with the Sims3Packs installed (since the rest of the content from the sets in question are working) and extract the lot packages to be dumped manually into the Library. The casino is package 0x1daa41b84d333ba7494cccbce03fb921 and the arcade is 0xe89060ecc1b8ee9542b5d773423a28a6, but for future reference it's really easy to tell which package is which using s3pe.
Now GTFO until you've skimmed through the stickied rules thread.
