The TS3 Store: post your questions, updates, and tech help here
Sabrewulf:
None of the sims 3 store packages are installing for me.....well they seem to install and it even says in the launcher that they're installed but when I load up the game they're not there and the next time I look at the launcher it says the package is not yet installed? It's like it either uninstalls the package before I play or it doesn't install at all and it just says that it does.
Although I've also had this problem with custom content sim packages and not just ones from maty :/

True, but Mod the Sims is Care Bear land so you'd probably want to be vague and dance around it or else just pm it.
In theory, installing the Store items is just a matter of getting them decrapified and installed via the launcher, though I'm not sure which Mac programs would do that, or else converting them to package or getting an archive of them already in package form, making sure the framework and directories are setup correctly and then placing the packages there.
Actually, I seemed to have solved my problem under that conclusion before I even got a chance to check back here! ;D
Although I didn't find a Mac program to convert the files into .package format, I used the DCBackup file. I just copy and pasted the contents into my mods/package folder and wala: all the second update material is in my game!
Now, I admit the game runs incredibly slow. I'm hoping by renaming the files to something not so long and by deleting some exchange bull shit I accidentally downloaded I should be able to get it up to speed.
It did. I renamed about 1,000 files, which took forever. But in my honest opinion, I think it was worth it. Was it worth the hundreds of dollars it would've cost me? No. So heres a thanks to everyone for the help and for the sharing! :D

The hair did install for me, but I admittedly I haven't checked in game yet.
Also, it's not hard to convert a sims3pack to package yourself. The program I use is Delphy's Sims3pack Multi Installer. It's very easy to use and quickly converts a one or multiple sims3pack files into package files.
That's what I'm doing. Sorry, I should have explained myself better. I use Delphy's Multi Installer and I converted every Dr. Pepper file into a package without problems. The ponytail hair, however, keeps coming out as two different, nameless files which from my experience don't work in game. How do I make the file come out right? I've converted both an untouched version and a decrapified/compressed version of the Sims3Pack but the two come out like that.

I put both ponytail files in my game, and they work. Check under Hats. It doesn't look very special. But the reason there are two files is because EA always includes a separate hair file for elders in the package.

Ah, I see. You're right. Thanks!
