Post by: fatkitty on 2008 July 01, 02:19:39
so it should work in regular Sims 2 games.


What does that mean exactly?


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Simsbaby on 2008 July 01, 02:32:00
EAxis had changed a setting on the clothing and hair so that it wouldn't easily work in TS2 without the store edition. This is easily fixed, and I have done so.  :)

Thank you so much Simsbaby - are all the new things going to be up? There were 32 adult female whole outfits (I have the free one) and 19 adult male whole outfits.  If I can contribute in anyway, please let me know.  My husband says Thurs or Fri I can purchase some points ( I have to wait till he gets paid).

Thanks for sharing this.  ;D

One observation - EA can make descent hair just not for TS2? In their defence, some of this hair does meet their high standards of barf.

1). One of the bun/twists things looks as if the woman has a hair colored growth on her neck.
2). There is a asymmetrical cut like the one that came with OfB, that was exposed to Chicago winds for a few hours. 
3). But the curly hair, from EA? Actually it all makes since, they want people to pay out the ass for the decent quality stuff that they have been holding back.

That would be really helpful, check and see what TashaFaun in The Podium has already got. Also, it might be a good idea to post and say what you're getting before you get it, so people don't end up buying the same thing twice.

By the way, have you checked TashaFaun's files? some of them (afbodydressbaroque) cannot be opened with SimPE. I'm not sure if it's just me or not.

I haven't, but I think someone said that the EA downloader corrupted them.

I don't know why that is, hang on, let me check in my game.

Fair warning: I tried to delete one recolor of one of the hairs (the short choppy one comes with 2 blacks) and ALL of the TS2 store hairs disappeared.  They were still in the DL folder, which is weird, but I've re-dl'd them to see if that fixes it.

That happens when all of the recolors are in one package. This time it isn't my fault though, as the files are as they came directly from EAxis. The only thing I did was compress them and change the product number.

What I'll do is Thursday before I buy some outfits, I'll check to see what outfits are already up, and then I'll post what I'm buying before I buy it so that way nobody else buys the same ones I did.  That way we all have the outfits up for download.

That happened to me too, just re-start bodyshop/the game and they'll re-appear...sans the group you deleted sadly.

Is there a way to be able to recolour these? I tried exporting them from bodyshop and got an error, and when I opened one in Simpe the texture files are only 128x128.

Okay, I don't know if it would help, but I placed mine in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins\EA Store. Maybe you could try placing it in there, but besides from that I don't know what would be causing it.  :(

That was the first hair to go after I had taken a look at them all. :) It would actually be a relatively attractive hairstyle, if EA had not felt the mysterious need to double our poor Sims' foreheads with it.

Thanks for uploading these, Simsbaby! You couldn't pay me to go near that EA store.

Thanks simsbaby and TashaFaun!

Even if someone wanted to buy some of the hair or outfits, they don't even have a decent picture in that pathetic "store" so you know what you're getting. They're small, dark and only offer a glimpse of what's inside (and they lack a big red "SECUROM INSIDE" warning :P)


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: empires on 2008 July 01, 08:14:46
I wonder what EA/Maxis *who ever made it* was thinking when they made the store. *laughs at the concept of them thinking about something besides money* In a way its a good idea for people who dont want whole expansions if you look at it from there point of view I guess.  Have the clothes been releases and is the one male hair included?


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: X-Phile on 2008 July 01, 08:25:57
Are the objects, hairs, etc. made by TSR by any chance?

I haven't been able to get the objects to show up.  When I went to make an EA Store folder following the above instructions, I found that I have a duplicate catalog folder. I have a catalog folder and a catalog(2) folder. Actually, I have several folders that are duplicated. This can't be good. Anyone know how I could have ended up with all these duplicate folders in my Sims 2 folder?

I have all EP's and GL, H&M, TSS,  K&B & IKEA.

ETA: I moved all of the duplicate folders out of my Sims 2 folder and the game works fine. It still baffles me how I ended up with duplicate folders. ???

The tv and the boockcase are missing FT functions... I don't know why I'm not surprised  ::)

Maybe ou can try to delete the duplicate folder ? Or at least put it on an another folder and start your game to see what happened.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Cappuccino on 2008 July 01, 10:09:32
All objects show up normally in my game (missing FT functions of course as stated before).

All hair too, but only 3 of the 4 male outfits and 4 of the 7 female ones show up. After I started the game the files of the non-working clothes shrunk to several bytes only (I think someone else mentioned that too).

I chatted with Pescado about this in grah.  The objects are not showing up for people who have not installed the EA downloader because it creates a sort of Stuff Pack for them.  To use the files without the downloader, they must be converted to a base-game code.  It's easy: load the file into SimPE, open the OBJD, and edit field "0x0040" to say 0x1 instead of 0x1000.  Commit for each OBJD and save.

I'll upload the fixed objects once I have all of them done, and anyone who wants to can distribute them again.   :P

right I did download the installer which in turn installed the sims 2 store, however I removed it, the files I placed in my downloads folder and I used the collection files above and low and behold they show up perfectly so I would say you dont need the sims store program thingy, I have all expansions and stuff packs to date maybe they need one of them?, thank you for the files and also blackcat who made the collection files, I did notice though when the game installed it updated all the ep's and patched, so maybe this to could be the reason? even though like I said I uninstalled the sims 2 store, its weird its not showing for some people.

That's strange, I didn't install EA Download Manager but the objects showed up fine for me. I'm running FT patch 1 with NoCD.
Oh no... does it mean that somehow I inadvertently installed EA Download Manager?  :o How can you tell if this EADM shit is indeed installed or not? Does it create some shortcuts in Start Menu?

All hair too, but only 3 of the 4 male outfits and 4 of the 7 female ones show up. After I started the game the files of the non-working clothes shrunk to several bytes only (I think someone else mentioned that too).

Same here, these 4 outfits seem to be corrupted. SimPE cannot open them either.

When I did the curtains, instead of 0x1000 the number is 0x0080 for the diagonal curtains. Do I change that number to 0x1?


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: BastDawn on 2008 July 01, 12:37:05
I did, and they change into a different curtain on the diagonal, so don't do that, I guess.   :P  I'm going to do those over and report back.  Further, these objects need Pets or later.  They crash my OFB game, and in my FreeTime game, the pets can sleep and scratch on the beds.  I guess the downloader upgrades your game engine.

Also, that end table isn't the only item made wrong.  Many have too many tiles.   >:(  If someone else wants to volunteer to fix those, I'll have the base-gamed files up soon and anyone who wants to chop them down properly can have at it.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff

Actually, the diagonal mesh reverts to Seasons Country curtain even in the unmodified original file.

(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff243/creamgray/The%20Sims%202/EAxisStoreCurtainMadeOfPhail.jpg)

I guess EAxis stupidly forgot to link the diagonal mesh to the straight mesh. Or they didn't make a diagonal mesh for this curtain in the first place. Note the blank tile on the left. Epic PHAIL.


Further, these objects need Pets or later.  They crash my OFB game, and in my FreeTime game, the pets can sleep and scratch on the beds.  I guess the downloader upgrades your game engine.

This Store objects are treated like yet another SP between Teen Pack and FreeTime. As Teen Pack is based on Pets engine, it makes sense that this store pack is also based on Pets.

I could look into File fixing. I have done so many of them with the Castaway Files. I need only to know what i should fix(like, remove additional tiles, fix to many files)

HeHe another missing or wrong Diagonal Mesh, had the same happen with a CS Window. Stupid EAxis. The Diagonal Mesh is most likely missing was the same with the CS Window. Its also sloppy object cloning on there side.

Okay, I have the object files in two different categories.  One is for working objects that you can put into any game that uses the Pets engine or later; the other has the five broken objects that someone else needs to fix, because I've been up all night and I want to go to bed.   :P  The broken objects are the curtain and window, which need working diagonals, and both rugs and the coffee table, which along with the curtain have extra tiles.  The broken objects will at least appear in the game, as I fixed that much.

Files removed, as they were further improved by others elsewhere in this thread.


These objects are on MediaFire and should be moved to stable, anonymous hosting once they are in working condition -- don't count on them to be available here forever.

I also think the parting of the hair (is that how it's called?) in the middle is a little too much, but yeah, other than that the hair looks pretty good. So do some other of the hairstyles, and I love the outfit with the vest for the guys!

Just had to unlurk to thank everyone for pirating and fixing these exclusive Store items.  The Store itself is a pathetic testament to EAxis's manifesto of money-grubbing.  But the fact that the items being sold are so borked, that legitimately downloaded stuff isn't showing up - sad.  Not surprising, just sad.

I don't know who comes up with these ideas for EA or who does their marketing, but they should be fired.  This Store could have actually been a marketing coup for EA, if they hadn't gotten greedy.  The community HAS been asking for the ability to pick and choose Stuff Pack items, so launching a Store with these items would have said that EA listens to the gaming community.  Leave off Suckurom, don't forcibly install patches - just let people download Sims2Packs.  This would also mean that Mac users could download these items which could mean some serious cash for EA.  Most of the Stuff Packs haven't been released for the Mac yet, and not a day goes by without yet another preteen posting on the Mac boards whining about how Mac users are the whipping boys of the Sims community, Aspyr doesn't love us, etc.

Then release some of those exclusive downloads as free stuff on the Exchange.  'Cause some of the stuff like the male vest outfit and the new Teen Female clothing looks cute.  And if the stuff is borked when you get it in game, it's not such a big deal 'cause it was free anyway.  This would build some good will and customer loyalty, things of which EA is in seriously short supply.  And given that they're going to want us to re-up with the Sims franchise when Sims 3 comes out, they need to start working on coddling their customer base.

Thank you very much, Bast Dawn.  I'm assuming that since these are simple .package files, they will work correctly in a Mac game?

Now if only someone would arrr the party and wedding stuff, especially the cakes, I'd be a happy woman.  I've never seen a single CC cake that worked correctly.

That Celebration stuff... sigh. Some of the new cakes are cute, and I quite like some of the deco frills and new walls/floors, but everything is so cheap! Maybe it's just a quibble, but I don't fancy redecorating for my sims' wedding/birthday just to watch their environment score plummet while they walk around barfing at all their new stuff.

Maybe if I finally tried to figure out how to build a comm lot for weddings these things would actually come in handy, but aside from a cake or two and a plain ceiling lamp, I hardly ever fuss with that stuff at all.

Ok now that I have re-downloaded the clothes its all good. They managed to not get corrupted this time. There might be a bit of bloatware on them because EA bundled all the hair and clothes I purchased into one file so I went through and deleted the hair files (what I could recognize anyway) and I also changed the outfits to everyday and formal because the dresses really needed to be in formal as well. That means that the males vest outfit and dashiki are in formal wear too. Ah well more formal wear for the hippies! Enjoy :)

I'm beginning to be resigned to the fact that they aren't, in fact, going to release Celebration Stuff for Mac at all, maybe, and words cannot express my annoyance.  I would buy the darned thing legally if it were available.

But, Celebration Stuff isn't available in any form, arr-able or not, and as I said, I would reallllly like the cakes and the arches.  You know how many weddings I just threw?  SIX.  All with the same lame-ass cake. And I have several more to go.

So, 11 of 13 outfits I got are showing up. I think for some reason the other two were lost in translation. I don't see the LIFOs or anything in the skins package it created when I loaded the game. However, on the good side, I dl's these on a clean machine with only base game installed, and when I transferred the file to my main machine (all EP/SP -Freetime), everything less the 2 AWOL recols is showing up without messing in SimPE. The package is not compressorized. I guess I'll have to deal with customer support to get the other 2. They are the other recols of the men's hipster jacket outfit, so no one give EA monies for those.

Included:
1 color of the men's hipster jacket
men's yellow dashiki
men's black vest outfit (these to round out the sets)
3 teen female denim skirt with puff sleeve shirt
2 teen female pottery dress
2 teen female celtic cutie
Edit: forgot this one's there too - the French Foreign Legion adult female outfit

Four of the six items are from EPs and SPs, so if you have all the packs, only two are new. There's a recliner that matches the Deco set, a green and yellow velvet dress, the Cameo Vase from Celebration Stuff, Power Mirror from FFS, a hairstyle from OFB, and the Cantankerous Splatters painting from NL. You can see them by going to Collections / Themes / Free Items. IMHO, they're not worth downloading, especially since it means getting the FT patch installed automatically, SecuROM upgraded and having to use the EA Downloader to get them.

Wow, just want to thank you all for these amazing things. If I weren't so violently allergic to paying EA money ---tragic, I know--- perhaps just maybe I would've bought them. Ok, not really, since my whole game is arr'ed, but they look nice. Perhaps they unchained the code monkeys from the desks for a bit R&R in the prison yard and the fresh air did them some good.

(Except the long wavy hair. I was ready to give it a pass until I actually saw it. Holy fuck, talk about a DO NOT WANT.)

I believe the Securom installs with the "Store" downloader thingy, so the package files should be harmless alone.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: devilsrope on 2008 July 02, 04:00:45
The packages are spywarez-free, according to Pescado. And yeah, securom isn't in them. The machine I used never became infected either, since I only installed the minimum needed to download (BG) and its patch, which the dl manager did auto-install, doesn't include securom (yet). My guess anyway.

Want to trade?  Trust me, if you knew you couldn't have it. . .especially when it fits with the theme of the stuff you do (cutesy barfaciousness.)  And besides, you can do some amazing shit with a community wedding lot.

Some bridal and wedding lot experiments (http://profbutters.livejournal.com/28969.html)

Thank you, TashaFaun.  I can't speak for all Mac users, but I know I most want the wedding cakes and the chairs. The birthday cakes would be great, too.  I like the looks of the arch, but I can live without it, especially since there are decent recolors of the original Maxis arch, but I haven't found any recolors of the wedding cake that worked at all.

Is there any code in the file that prevent us from export it from bodyshop ?

If you have tried to export from BS and it was not allowed, I think you should reply that thread to see what Maxoids will answer or they might ignore the thread.

I do not think people will want to buy stuff that they can not recolor so that will make the store lose a lot of sheep.

SimOtaku you could remove the  Black Backless Sheath with Feathered Neck and Green Backless Sheath with Feathered Neck because Loki downloaded and posted all of them. BTW thanks to all who downloaded and shared with us.

hmm wait the Package holds all textures and all Materialdefinitions but you could not use the other colors let me try something.

You need to buy each recolor to get them that is how evil the store is.

Do the objects have recolors? I haven't tried them in game yet. But if the objects come with recolors, then it's extremely greedy of them to charge for each clothing recolor.

OK I'm not sure if this is the right spot to put this but...

I've been updating some of these objects to make them the way I like. 
I jacked the decobeds comfort/energy to 5/6 single and 8/8 double using Lord Darcy's (Thankyou!) modified resources from his bed mod I have, updating the book case, Stereo to FT ect. If there is interest in these I could post them.

Now I'm trying to add slots to the Deco dresser so I can put pretty things on it,  but I am having problems. 
I extracted the slot resource from a dresser of the same height that you can put things on and replaced it in the art deco dresser but it isn't working.   The item goes into the dresser instead of on top of it. Then I tried changing the BHAV init too but nothing changed.  Can someone help me with this?

I attached (I hope) the messed up version if anyone wants to look at it.  It didn't crash my game .. just doesn't work the way I want it too.

Thanks so much to you all for working with these things.   I went to TheSims2 site to see about that Apartment EP...Skipped FT,   but I really could use help with multiple dwellings.  Well, I logged into the SimsStore to see what was being offered.   When I read that you had to install two other programs to download and use this stuff,  I sighed and shut it down.   I have had a computer destroyed by SecuRom...USB's burned out, CD drive borked...all the standard Sony technology destruction.   So,  here I am for the first time in my computing life using a crack...and will have to wait for the Apartment crack before I buy that.... It's a shame that they are using this tactic now to get this program onto people's machines.   I'm wondering why...and why be so adamant and forceful about it?  Could it be more than just a way to copy-protect?  Are they farming out cycles and resources from Sims players equipment to interested parties?  All kind of conspiracy theories play in my head.
Long story shortened...right after I backed out of their "fantastic deal"  I headed to MATY and sure enough the wonderful Pescado Patrons were on the case.  Thanks for fixing the Maxis crap and for sharing.   I for one have no complaints, this site and the people here have been GodSent.    Love you all,   K

Hello everyone. Delurking here to post fixes to the deco and cubic sets.

Besides the curtain with no diagonal and the stuff with too many tiles I found several other issues:

The deco living and lounge chairs had issues with their GMND's, making some subsets not update their textures properly.
The dresser had a whopping 1929 vertices extra, in an unused subset.
The window had duplicates of three textures and material overrides/definitions. I removed these from the window that havelock had fixed already.
Finally several of the objects from both sets had mixed up groundshadows with wallshadows, making the walllshadow visible at all times.

Hopefully all of this is fixed now. Let me know if you find any problems with these files.

Richief from what I've read in this thread it sounds like you need to look in a folder that the EA downloader has made, most likely found under your Computer/ProgramFiles/EAGames/Sims2Store - I'm guessing.

Is that what's wrong with the end table in the surfer bedroom set in TSS? Because there's always a shadow on the side of the table and because of that, I've stopped using that set.

I just noticed that the cubic barstool was unreasonably huge at 1.4MB.
Looking inside I found 111mp3/sound files, 27 "track settings" and 27 "UNK:0x7B1ACFCD". Surely they have no business being there?

Here is a cleaned up version at 90kb. If it doesn't seem to cause any problems or if someone with more knowlege says it's fine I will update my rar from the earlier post.

I fixed the decorative slots on the top of Deco dresser, using the resources extracted from GLS low dresser. I based mine on the fixed version by Goggalor (thanks!). You may have to sell and rebuy Deco dresser for it to pick up the change.

Wow! Thanks Lord Darcy!  Is is possible to explain where I went wrong? I was using a resource from a mod that enabled slots on maxis dessers that originally didn't have them.  Or is their a tutorial on this somewhere?  I tried googling but phailed.  :( 


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Lord Darcy on 2008 July 03, 12:31:48
Is is possible to explain where I went wrong?
You forgot to fix Text List 0x90 (Model - Bones), which the game uses to find matching blocks in the CRES.

Quote
The most important values of any type are S2 and I9. If S2 is 0, it will take the XYZ offsets from F1,F2,F3; but it is generally not done this way. The way it should be done(and is in most cases) is to have S2 have a value of 2 which tells the Slot to get the offset from the Resource Node. When it is using the resource node, it uses the I9 value as an index to Text List 0x90, reads that string and finds the block in the resource node with that name, and uses its offsets.

I was using a resource from a mod that enabled slots on maxis dessers that originally didn't have them.
Can you give me link to that mod? I have a similar unfinished mod which enables deco slots on 1-tiled OFB small dressers (like FFS and Pets dressers) on my backburner.

Or is their a tutorial on this somewhere?
Not exactly a tutorial, but this article (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=146440) will be helpful.

Then again I just redownloaded and it's the same issue-empty packages that I apparently paid for-more maxis screw ups. Typical.

The mariachi one is the blue vest one and the cowboy one is the one with the blue shirt and cream coloured chaps however in sims2pack clean installer it shows all three textures. The embroidered jacket outfit is the one with the grey jacket.

Look into the files if we have all Textures of the Outfit in one Package we could maybe make working recolors. Dont give EAxis more money as needed. All i need are the big Textures called LIFO.

ambodycowboychaps_bluecream.package has all 3 big LIFO.

ambodymariachi_brownblue.package has only 1.

afbodysilkembjacket_green.package has only 1.

afbodydressshiny_silver.package  has only 1.

OK made the ambodycowboychaps_bluetan & greenblack as Recolors, binned to EAxis made with the Original EAxis Textures.

@ Lord Darcy is it possible to make the recolors show up along with the originals ? Could you look into it please.

Is is possible to explain where I went wrong?
You forgot to fix Text List 0x90 (Model - Bones), which the game uses to find matching blocks in the CRES.

Quote
The most important values of any type are S2 and I9. If S2 is 0, it will take the XYZ offsets from F1,F2,F3; but it is generally not done this way. The way it should be done(and is in most cases) is to have S2 have a value of 2 which tells the Slot to get the offset from the Resource Node. When it is using the resource node, it uses the I9 value as an index to Text List 0x90, reads that string and finds the block in the resource node with that name, and uses its offsets.

I was using a resource from a mod that enabled slots on maxis dessers that originally didn't have them.
Can you give me link to that mod? I have a similar unfinished mod which enables deco slots on 1-tiled OFB small dressers (like FFS and Pets dressers) on my backburner.

Or is their a tutorial on this somewhere?
Not exactly a tutorial, but this article (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=146440) will be helpful.
Thanks!  The mod is from TSR by Anoeskab it is called  maxis morefunctional dresser addon and maxis morefunctional superset.  There are two.  I got it from the booty.   There is a seperate file for each Maxis dresser within the RARs.  I pulled the slot file from one of them.  I didn't realize you had to do anything other than just replace the slot file. I'll read the link you provided, see if I can learn something from that.  Thanks again!

The bed works in my game though (with all EP's). What exactly is it that's not working for you?

thanks for all those that are doing this! it's great to see and I hope MaxoidDrea enjoys the angina - like many I'm looking to be hacking the clothing meshes apart / pillaging the textures to make better maxian clothing from it all but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm before I DL any of it if Jelenedra's suggestion of packaging a sim with the clothing on it post-pets EP has made the separate clothing meshes get packed up too?

for those of us that haven't DLed directly from the EA store we don't have the psuedo-stuff pack location in our EA folders that simpe could potentially reference the gmdcs, gmnds, cres and shpes from or anything like that, so I'm thinking this is possibly the only way we'll be able to get our hands on the meshes to manipulate?

^ Just plop them in your folder like normal downloads. No, you do not have to have the EA store manager. We got it now?  :P

Also, I have seen perhaps two or three things I would have downloaded if not for the fact that EAxis wants all of our monies. Because clearly $300 for each Simmer wasn't enough.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: wetninja on 2008 July 04, 02:19:46
Thanks Kazzandra,  I figured as much but with my luck I would do it that way and it wouldn't work because I wasn't suppose to! :D

I agree with the whole money thing, however (and please don't throw eggs at me) games like WWC and other PS3, X-box, PS2, games charge you for extra maps.  But with those they are working maps that do not require gamers to fix them before playing with them.  I don't like the idea of them continuely charging us out the nose for every little thing.  And to top it off, they don't work, and we get a nasty little malware with it.

I guess what I am saying is I can see both sides of the fence.  I just like it on this side.

I'm having some trouble with the clothes now. I've been downloading clothes as they were posted and they were all showing up in BodyShop with no problems but now that I've added more to my game, some of the outfits that were showing up, no longer are. Like the teen female clothes, the only outfit that shows now is the Brown Pottery Pattern Dress. The last time I was in BS before that, I had all the clothes for teens except the Pink Celtic Cutie and the Choker dresses. I'm missing several of the female adult outfits now and for the guys, I'm now missing two of the Hipster Jacket outfits that were there before. Anyone know what's going on?

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it. Somehow I ended up with single package files of certain outfits (like the African Skirt & Top outfits) that were also in those combined packages that have multiple outfits in one package file. I deleted the single versions and everything showed up.

Thanks for the link. Glad that I'm aware of other similar mod before I go on posting it to MTS2. No doubt some idiot will waltz in spouting "stealing codes from other artist's hard work" nonsense. :P

I updated Deco Dresser again, to allow more small objects without moveobjects cheat on. In my first version, I enabled it only to be equal to other small dressers like the ones from OFB or GLS. I forgot to modify private BHAV, as in my unreleased mod I lifted the weight restraint of dresser deco slots on the semi-global level. If you've downloaded the previous version, please get the updated version attached below. You may have to sell and rebuy Deco dresser for it to pick up the change.

Good that you have modified those items! EAxis let the community modify their items, right? So, it's absolutely alright to share them here. :)

The bed works in my game though (with all EP's). What exactly is it that's not working for you?

EDIT: Added fixed curtains.

Goggalor thank you for your fixed Diagonal Courtain but you have removed the lead tile of the Straigt version this causes no one could place anything in front of the Window with the Courtain on it.
However i used your fixed diagonal and have build the Courtain from scratch it works now straight and diagonal and you could place something in front.
I have also fixed a mistake on my side with the Deco Window what caused if you have used the Eyedropper Tool on the diagonal Window you got a Openme Window not a Deco ones.

I have added the attachement from my first Window and Coffeetable fix and added the fixed Courtain also.

Edit: Attachement removed


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Goggalor on 2008 July 04, 10:00:06
Actually that wasn't the problem, the problem was with the semi global. And there's a fixed one on the last page ;).
The lead tile isn't necsessary on a one-tile object if you change the 0x00A and 0x00B fields in the OBJD to 0.
EDIT: In the case of the curtain this is true. There may be other objects that references the lead tile in the code I think.

EDIT2: Nevermind I was sure when I tried the fixed one yesterday that it was working but perhaps I should have just gone to sleep.
Download Havelocks curtains people!

Katratzi, I don't see anything wrong in my game with the bed recolors, and nothing that is obvious in the file either.

Hehe, actually all straight curtains I try to clone actually have that "urtainGlobal" Silly EA.
After more tries it seems my fixed version works after all and you don't actually need that lead tile but since yours work too there's no need to reupload it.
I was wrong again. Oddly it works on some walls in my game but not on others. Well well...

Was the problem with the ground/wallshadow fixed in your coffeetable?

Hopefully all of this is fixed now. Let me know if you find any problems with these files.


Okay, so I have problems to put anything in front of the deco-window and the deco-curtains. and the big deco-bed doesn't work in any color, just in the buy-mode, but not in the play-mode sorry :-(
but great work thanks a lot.

I tested the deco items in-game today and had no problems with placing items in front of the windows or curtains.

Good about the bed. If you downloaded the set today in the post on this page then the curtain is the fixed version by havelock. If it's from an older set I suggest to re-download, I had varying test results myself with the older one I did.

Thank you for sharing the objects and fixing them.

I looked at all objects in da game and everything is great but
1.  Bookcase is not recolorable (cubic)
2. We have a cubic barstool but may be better having matching sitting chair for the desk? Why barstool without the matching bar or island? I will try to convert it to dining chair :)

take care

You have to alter the last bit of the Product string in propertyset from 0 to E if you have Freetime or D if you have the latest patch or the store Edition installed. Its impossible to make the Hair for every Game configuration therfore the asterisk. So everyone could use it.

Jase, the 3 Cleopatra dress showed up for me, but, instead of everyday like The Sims 2 store says, they only show up in formal.

Is it possible that EA put them in wrong section of the store ?

Because they are really ornate like something someone might wear to formal event.

Apparently the sims store didn't appreciate my temp files being full as when I emptied them last night and attempted downloading the stupid mariachi files again they worked, (I know it's so exciting to get moar fugly ensembles yah?) and as such here they are.

Yay thx Loki have you tried the Cowboys also? But only if you not have to pay because we have the Recolors. BTW had you to pay for the mariachi clothings or recogniced the shop them as broken.

Um... I'm wondering if there are the pre-modification versions of the hair styles since I really don't want them to bear the tacky custom asterisk icon. I bet there are also people who have installed Store Edition and can therefore have the original hair styles show up bearing the "Sims Store" icon in game.

Thx so much for sharing again!!!  ;)

You have to alter the last bit of the Product string in propertyset from 0 to E if you have Freetime or D if you have the latest patch or the store Edition installed. Its impossible to make the Hair for every Game configuration therfore the asterisk. So everyone could use it.

I understand there has to be a modified versions. But if I really need the original versions, who should I ask? Thx for helping...

Hmns.....no I've not checked-I'll look right now and see.I'd paid for the mariachi things -shrug- my daughter got some points and told me to spend them after she got a couple things she wanted  ;) Let me check the cowboy junk real fast.

Post by: Loki on 2008 July 04, 17:02:30
Two of the cowboy outfits don't show up as empty packages-the other is just permanantly screwed up I guess cause I emptied my temp files before redownloading them just to be certain.

Forgive me if I've missed this somewhere, but, are there any color options for the Cubic bookcase? I'm only seeing one color in-game, and the rest of the set has different variations and woodtones. Just thought I'd bring it up, incase something got blocked somewhere. I'm using Richeif's FT enabled bookcase and TV, if that helps any.

I looked into Cubic Bookcase if there are any hidden textures, but no. EAxis typically disables recolor option for the objects with only 1 color (hence CEP).

I made it recolorable, based on the 7/4/2008 version of Goggalor's collection. Choose only one file, Pre-FT / FT version.

ETA: Attachment removed, now included in the collection.

Are you sure that old versions aren't lurking somewhere in your Downloads folder? File names were changed in the new version.

I can't delete my old versions since I have Store installed and they will be incorporated into a package file called "SCObjects.package" under Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Packed\Objects ....

Maybe I explain a little bit more about how Store Edition works... EA requires you to download the EA Download Manager and then that manager will download The Sims Store Edition which acts just like a stuff pack. You have files just like those on your game disks... And then the manager runs the AutoRun.exe and install a new game called "The Sims 2 Store Edition". If you don't have FreeTime, you can actually play the game by running The Sims 2 Store Edition.... And inside the game, when you go for the credits, you will be able to find "The Sims 2 Store Edition" and you can also find the corresponding collections in Buy mode. I'm not sure if you've got the picture of how it's like or not. Intuitively speaking, The Sims 2 Store Edition is just a Stuff Pack but it is not completely installed unless you pay and download everything from the Store website!

Well, what I did with my store items downloaded here is to put them under Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Downloads\Objects or Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Downloads\Skins and then these downloads will be incorporated into "SCObjects.package" under Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Packed\Objects or "SCSkins.package" under Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Packed\Skins and a list of downloaded items will be kept track of under a file called "uContent.xml" when I run the game (I guess it's the incorporation process that makes the new FT patch required). Actually, the download manager just does the same.... So, there is not such a folder known as "EA Store" under Drive:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins

But for the fixes I just got, I put them under the ordinary downloads folder. Hypothetically speaking, the files under downloads should override those under The Sims 2 Store Edition... So, I am confused whether the fixes are not overriding or I got the wrong files.


NB. Alriite, I'm now conducting another experiment to see if it will work for me, for any other users who have stupidly installed Store Edition like me....
Well, the experiement is like this:
1. the SCObjects.package will be removed
2. all the object files of the latest versions will be put under Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Downloads\Objects
3. the game will then be run

If it works out, a new "SCObjects.package" will be generated with the fixed versions incorporated into it.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Lord Darcy on 2008 July 04, 18:34:11
Try moving fixed files where SCObjects.package is located, and rename them by adding z- prefix. It's the same way I was overriding outdated Stuff Pack objects prior to FT.

Do you have FT? As of FT, overrides for Stuff Pack objects work from FT bins folder.

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins

Not sure if it works for Store craps or not though.

Yea I have FT and the latest patch w/ no-DVD crack.... FYI if you haven't read this b4: a new no-DVD crack for v1.13.0.161 (the latest patch) of FT is available at GCW... It works perfectly for me even though I have Alcohol and other CD burning stuff.... SecuRom can just do me no harm when I have the new crack.....

Back to the chase, I have tried putting them under "Catalog\Bins" under FT but only the curtain does the override, Darcy... I guess the only way I can solve this shit is to remove the SCObjects.package and let the game regenerate it  :-\


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: SiuPang on 2008 July 04, 19:16:22
OK... here is my test result... the game will incorporate new items into SCobjects.package/SCskins.package only if you have modified or simply deleted the uContent.xml file....

And now I can play with the fixed objects perfectly! Thx for all who helped!

The effects while music is playing is working now i think, however there's another effect in the other stereos that is visible in the broken state.
I will look at that one tomorrow.

Try this out in the meantime.

EDIT: New version available in Lord Darcy's post further down or Kabutos collection.

I didn't notice anything like that with the hair when I took pics. I didn't try the red hair though, but unless each color has a separate mesh, I don't think it's a mesh issue.

OK, one bad news here: A New Bug Found with the Cubic Stereo!

*sigh* The EAxis Store team responsible for all this LolPayShit don't have much understanding in object structure of Sims. They originally built it based off the FT vintage stereo, but forced it at the last minute into the clone of GLS Luxury stereo to make it compatible with Pets, when they should have used the base game stereo format. (They fucked up IKEA preorder dresser in the same way.) While GLS Luxury stereo looks similar in size and appearance, it actually has a very different object structure from FT/base game stereo. Luxury stereo uses its unique FX specifically designed for this stereo only (notice the sonic vibration in the center on the speakers), unlike most 2-tiled stereos cloned from the base game one. The target slots and CRES are all wrong.

I fixed it to use the base game stereo FX, with notes and sonic vibrations at the correct height.

The morons behind this LolPayShit really need to get themselves down to MTS2 and read the whole section of Modding Infocenter (http://www.modthesims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=333). >:(

Oh, forgot to tell you that metal part is now recolorable as well in the fixed version.

ETA: New version is posted in this post (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,12303.msg350347.html#msg350347), this time with repair FX added.

Thx for fixing the stereo, Goggalor and I will continue to test the rest of the objects... But I don't quite get the rest of the part, what are the problems with other stereos? Do you mean stereos from other EPs/SPs? So far, I haven't seen any bugs in them....

Yours is still  better with the recoloring enabled , I'm just curious what I did wrong?

There are some flaws in one of the lolpayshit hair meshes. Since I have zero meshing skill points, maybe someone else'll fix it.

*** SNIPPED PIC ***

This thread has gotten too long for me to scan closely, so if this has already been mentioned, whoopsie. Feel free to poke me with sticks.

that's not actually a problem with the hair, it's a problem with your graphics card - are you on a laptop with a chip or a desktop with a crappy graphics chip / card in it? on my laptop with it's little graphics chip that could, the K&BI Stuff female hair with the bandanna wrapped around it looks like someone had sex with a power point when I view it in bodyshop (same problems you're seeing but way more extreme) but when I go into the game itself, it's seamless and how it should be.

Nothing wrong. The missing broken FX is normal, as Cubic stereo is based off FT stereo, which lacks broken FX as well. I thought I added broken FX in my first version, but it turned out I was wrong. So the only real difference between yours and my first version are slot height and recolorable metal subset.

I posted a new version, this time really with repair FX added back just like base game stereo. Though you wouldn't be able to see this FX in normal gameplay anyway, as the game disallows Tinkering for all stereos except for two base game ones.

Ah, thanks. I did a version with that slot and child node in the cres, but gave up when I saw that there was no debug option to break the stereos. So I wasn't sure what positions to put in.

I have a personal fix to bypass GUID check for Tinkering stereos, which allows Sims with low mechanical skill to break Cubic stereo by Tinkering. Though this fix has a side effect to allow Tinkering to all stereos, even for boomboxes and jukeboxes which lack repair slot, resulting in object error.

Ugh. I can only imagine the horrors of the objects and sims in The Sims 3.

Sadly the nightmare will soon be reality. Remember the bloopers from the base game? They'll be unintended game "features" in The Sims 3.

I've just spent an hour sorting through all the EAxis downloads (thank you Lord Darcy and simsbaby) and have yet to see ANY of the lolpayshit. I'll check it out now.

EDIT: Noticed a few things. The first is this particular hair, that appears to come with a normal and coloured streaks variety. The problem is, the normal version is only avaliable in black. The other three hair colours only have the streaked hair.
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/thecallumus/hairshit1.jpg)

Also, most of the hairs aren't appearing correctly for elders.
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d113/thecallumus/hairshit2.jpg)

Another observation is that all the clothes seem to appear between Bon Voyage and FreeTime outfits. Was this intended or not? It seems a bit strange, is all.

It IS indeed intended, as Store uses the previously unused product number (0x0D) which is between Teen Style Stuff and FreeTime. Basically, Store is treated as yet another SP released between TSS and FT.

Some of this stuff IS nice. But I sure as hell wouldn't pay for any of this broken crap. If I were one of the naive fools who wasted money on this, I'd be pretty pissed, but they should be forced to live with their foolishness.

I did notice they only included one colour 9black) of the normal hair of afshortasymmetrica. I know aboslutely zilch about recolouring hair, so I don't know whether anyone can make normal variations for the other colours and a grey version for elders (why would they not include a grey version)?

so far i've enabled the hairs for Elders the only problem hairs were....

afhairshortasymmetrica no gray texture so i just removed property set for elders

afhairpulledbackglam worked but as you can see it has gap where the hair meets the forehead only apears with elder hair ( i'll let someone who knows how to do such things fix it )

Thanks so much for enabling these! I did notice though that the hair with the tiara still doesn't work for elders, it just shows up as the long straight hair. All the rest are fine.

EAxis_Store_Clothing.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/?mumoydg2yjy) (via Mediafire) :D

This contains a lot of individual files AND a 5MB+ SC_Hair_Outfits.package AND a 5MB+ SCSkins.package. Since the individual packages are clearly all recolors, I assume that at least one of those large packages contains all the meshes, but some more info on what's what would be peachy.

Ok Tasha it seems I have fixed it in game and now it's showing in BS thumbnail and everything.But the elder mesh looks kinda funky for that hair I see gaps on the side and in the back by the barette,but other than that changing that number like Havelock said seemed too work anyways.
I have all EP's installed except for Pet's,Bon Voyuck,Freetime.
So it's up too Seasons with H&M crappack for me.This might be why it's not working that great who knows,but I seemed too have fixed it for now anyways.
But as usual after playing the game for a while i'll find out i messed something up i'm sure lol.

Thanks everybody who shared ;D I really appreciate it.

Anybody can tell me how can I separate the bundle packages to individual packages? I mean the clothings? I'd love to have separate packages for each outfits :)

I seperated the two clothing bundles ('scskins.package' & the 'SC_Hair_Outfits.package') into individual packages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following .RAR file includes 60 files in total: 32 Adult Female clothing, 15 Adult Male clothing & 13 Teen Female clothing files.

Download Link 1: TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar (VIA Mediafire)
Download Link 2: TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar (VIA 2shared)

Remember to delete the 'scskins.package' & the 'SC_Hair_Outfits.package', since the clothing in those bundles are included in my 'TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar' file.

(You don't want duplicates do you?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT:

My 'TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar' file DOES NOT include any hairs, only clothing.

To get the hairs, go to the 1st post on this thread by Simsbaby.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made this to stop the confusion about 'what's in this and that bundle'.

as you can see it works on my end  :-\ 
[image snipped]

This makes me wondering why. The Property set is wrong the entry override0resourcekeyidx for hair has the number 5 should have 2,
override1resourcekeyidx for bangs has 6 should have 3, only override2resourcekeyidx for tiara is correct with 4

Since I don't see it posted in the thread yet, I just thought I'd upload a version of the top bun with bangs and crown with the elder fixes for the SimPE-phobes. Thanks to knightguy for the original work, and Havelock for pointing us in the right direction (as always).  :D

Would anyone be interested in a separate mesh package for each outfit? I'm working on them right now, and if you'd like I can upload them when I'm done.

It's just separating the mesh from recolor package, that way if someone wanted to convert them or something they wouldn't have to dig through the package to find all the parts.

Download: TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/?ynm2qxdymwy) (via Mediafire)

Thanks for separating all the bundles into individual files, but for some reason, I'm unable to download it.  I keep getting an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" page after I get the "Your download is starting..." message.  I'm not sure if the problem lies with MediaFire or something else, but I'll keep trying.

EDIT: It's working now?  Sort of.  It's telling me that it's going to take about 3, 4 hours to finish the download, which brings me back to my old dial-up connection days.  So it's probably a MediaFire problem then, right?

EDIT #2: False alarm.  Maybe a whole bunch of people were trying to download it yesterday, too.  I dunno.  It works fine now.

I do have a question about the items. Can you delete the ones you don't like (IE: Hairstyles and colors) or will everything else disappear? I saw one or two I'd like but I am desperately fighting to keep my Downloads folder from exploding and it's a losing battle.

Thank you to everyone who contributed.

The clothing included in the 'scskins.package' & the 'SC_Hair_Outfits.package' are included in my 'TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar' file.

If you downloaded my 'TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar' file, delete the 'scskins.package' & the 'SC_Hair_Outfits.package'.

IMPORTANT:

My 'TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar' file DOES NOT include any hairs.

You'll have to get that from the 1st post on this thread by Simsbaby.

With my 'TheSims2_EAstoreClothing_Complete.rar', you can delete any file you want and it won't bork up your game or the rest of the files.

Well,

if the items are all fixed, I post all of them in this Stuff Pack  ;D

http://www.mediafire.com/?jzzzd3vzzxt

Thank you for this pack. I am just checking to make sure this is the most recent for hair and furniture. So many things to download!

I do have one more question regarding Lord Darcy's option to place them in the bin so they don't show as custom content. Does this mean I make an EA Store folder within the bin of the most recent EP and place any and all items from Maxis there (IE the pre order goodies, etc...) and they will work? Or can I ONLY place the items from this thread in the EA Store folder and the rest in another folder in the bin? Also, once I buy the new EP do I need to move the folders into that bin?

Sorry for all the questions, but I wanted to make sure I understood what I needed to do. Thanks again!

Only objects will work there. Clothes don't, but as they are already de-customized they won't bear Star of Shame even in the Downloads folder. Although delete button may be enabled like any other cc. Not sure about hairs, never tried.

Or can I ONLY place the items from this thread in the EA Store folder and the rest in another folder in the bin?
Doesn't matter. Store items are not much different from preorder stuff. You can put them all in the same folder, if you like. Make any number of subfolders in any name as you like.

Also, once I buy the new EP do I need to move the folders into that bin?
Yes.

Making some use of that worthless Store Edition folder in program files...
http://www.mediafire.com/?dblyl9xgc19

Extract to C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition

Highlights:
-retains EAxis instance IDs (no bodyshop recolors!)
-retains proper LIFOS and mipmaps (textures)
-retains EAxian clothing categorizing
-retains original meshes
-shows up in bodyshop (most useful for multiple users on a pc)
-includes all clothes and hair in original sort order
-elder hair fixed (missing material definitions)
-missing elder female "graygreen" texture replaced
-shoe sounds fixed
-extra crap in 3IDR removed

Planned?
-Objects
-complete hair families ala alien & zombie fitness fixes
-create normal recolor set for AF streaked hair (extra black is disabled due to conflict; currently available set is too faded for me)
-preorder and other misc skin fixes


RTFM RTFN: If you're going to put this in downloads, do not use the delete button or suffer a BFBVFS.

I have taken all the fixed, elder enabled hairs and decustomized them. Basically just removed the annoying star.

(http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p168/pandora4co/Untitled.jpg)

They will show up between FreeTime and Bon Voyage if you have all EP's.  I did need to CTRL/right click on the elder thumbnails to get the pic to display correctly but the hairs work fine. 
Note credit needs to go to HystericalParoxysm for the 5 head fix on the longwavy hair and Knightguy, Havelock and Roux for elder enabling.

All Maxis Downloads are flagged as hacks by Cleaninstaller. The Cleaninstaller thinks they are Global Overrides but they arent. Nothing to worry about.

@ Lord Darcy

HCDU detect possible conflict between "Armoire_Deco.package" and "LdDarcy_SP6TSSArmoireAnimFix.package" on the "Function - Init".

Is it a problem ?

NO.

Several people told me that Hack Conflict Detection Utility (http://www.simwardrobe.com/) reports a conflict between this mod and Store Deco armoire. It's because this mod fixes wrong animation of Store Deco armoire, as I already said above. Just ignore the conflict, it's harmless. Make sure that this mod is loaded after Store Deco armoire to fix the wrong animation.
It does not conflict with my decorative slot mod (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,12570.0.html), either.

any 3rd party hack which affects Store objects will be automatically reported as a conflict, because the game treats all Store objects as global hacks if they're found in Downloads folder.

We may be able to repair the decorative objects even chairs may work. But the wedding cake will give problems. Cake needs Celebration SP. Thats wy downloading at the store creates a SP to update your Game with the needed funktions.

I'm confused over afhairshortasymmetrica, seeing as there are so many different versions of it. Which one has both normal and hideous streak versions for all colours and adult and elder ages (and is descustomised)?

Also, once I buy the new EP do I need to move the folders into that bin?
Yes.
Weird. I just put in the base game folder and it works perfectly.

I'm confused over afhairshortasymmetrica, seeing as there are so many different versions of it. Which one has both normal and hideous streak versions for all colours and adult and elder ages (and is descustomised)?

At the moment, there is no real complete set of streak and streak-less afhairshortasymemetrica. There is a recolored version of it without streaks on InSimenator.net linked earlier in the thread, but these do not match the colors of the original textures. I have a package that replaces the textures for blond and gray but does not touch red and brown. Eventually I plan on creating a set like you've described with the streaked versions under the custom category in change appearance, but hidden in bodyshop and CAS (just like the Maxis hair).

Weird. I just put in the base game folder and it works perfectly.

I have several subfolders under the Bin folder, which are full of EAxis-made official stuff and hacks with OBJD overrides. I move all of them into Bin folder of the newest EP, just for principle, in case something in the newest EP overrides anything. (Especially hacks with OBJD overrides, like my Celebration cake fix.) But I guess Store objects work fine under the base game folder, as they are not likely to be overridden by any subsequent EPs/SPs anyway.

It's highly likely that I won't change much, if I end up doing it at all. I'll probably end up packaging them all into one file and change the diagonal guid for the curtains to one of the ones that was dropped (Havelock said he created a new one?) They all work in the bins folder and there's nothing wrong with them that I've seen, so I don't see a reason to.

Making some use of that worthless Store Edition folder in program files...

Extract to C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition

Will it work in Downloads? I can't be arsed to remember that I have things in a location outside of My Documents when I'm backing up TS2 stuff, so I very much prefer not to PUT anything outside of My Documents.

Funny, I just noticed that end table thing last night, too.

Anyone else having trouble with the lamps? They provide a little light, but are basically worthless for lighting a room. I noticed this last night while decorating a room with the cubic collection. I'll post a picture later, if I can remember to. Pictures added. (And I do not have any lighting mods in my game, it's Maxis default lighting.)

Edit to add pics. (Click to enlarge)

Deco window is fine with normal Maxis light, but because its technically a custom light it is not supported by radiance light.

Are these replacements for the streaks or in addition to the streaks? Also, I may be pelted with a thousand stones at the hand of that bald guy floating in the corner for asking this but, are you planning on doing a blond version without streaks?

There are new "spooky" themed items in the store. Weird. I had a feeling there would be something new today, and sure enough "Let us con you with shiny NEW storeshit". I get the feeling that this is supposed to be our lot of Makin' Magic-style stuff. I suppose the outfits would help with Asylum Challenges, but I am not looking foward to hundreds of Zombie townies in my tranquil little burg.

Evidently, this is where the 30 hairs ended up.

Would someone please be kind enough to list all the downloads for the store stuff all in one place? I tried following the links and ended up with a whole lot of open windows and no idea which ones to download.

ETA: It seems to me that after 20 pages, things have gotten mixed up a bit. Some of the links I clicked were edited to say that someone else fixed something...so it's easy to get confused. Personally, I don't care about the hairs and clothes, but someone else might. So, if someone could make an updated list...thanks.

My OFB two story column has been missing since I installed Free Time, so it may not necessarily be completely the fault of these spook objects that it is missing (though I find it interesting that it is using that catalog description... me thinks EAxis made a goober in Free Time to prepare for the TS2 Payshit site)

Are you sure you're talking about the Simply Round Column 2 Floor Edition? Cause the smaller one, that's 1 floor high shows-up normally for me too.

Furthermore, the small Column and the Door that brzburns provided turn to 96-byte files after you run and exit the game which means they are corrupted, I remember people getting that when the Store first started, some of their downloads would get corrupted like that and they had to re-download.

It's confirmed, these all work. The huge door is really cool.

Things that might need fixing:
  • The 2-Floor Column uses the catalog description of the Simply Round Column from OFB.
  • The Gargoylite wall lamp costs only 1 simoleon.

Thanks Richief, a question though, does the Cubic chair show up for you without any problems? It seems to have some missing textures (?) or is it just me?

Baaaaa, either way. :D (I'm just bored while waiting for the washing machine to finish so I can hang the clothes to dry before going to bed and so I lurk here to see if any new objects come up and then I instantly check them in game. I'll check how this is progressing tomorrow!)

Thanks for putting these up.  You did the whole nine yards.  No custom content star and everything.  However, I noticed that while they are enabled for elder use, the mesh doesn't seem to support it?  It just goes to that default mesh-less stand-in hair when I click on it in Bodyshop.

EDIT: While it was nice for EAxis to include toddler and child versions of this hair, they totally left out teens.  Blah.

Yes you can just put them in your downloads folder.  You don't need to unzip them or anything.

Enabling the elder version is currently beyond me.  Perhaps with a bit of time I could figure out how to do it.  There was the same issue with the previous Store hairs as well and I know someone enabled the elders on them.

The cubic chair is messed up in my game too - I'd fix that texture that's missing, but, I don't know how to fix it - I hope somebody who knows what to do could.

hopefully the chair can be fixed maybe EA/Maxis will catch it an update the chair....   (i sent the issuse to EA thru their customer Support "they claim i'll hear something in 24 hours)

an i'm enableing the hairs for Elders  ::)  once again the textures are there but they failed to enable it  >:(

Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Argon on 2008 September 03, 05:47:30
Someone will have to remake the higher resolution textures, find a file that has the missing LIFOs, or delete the references in the TXTR and use the remaining mip map textures (think Numenor's LS object conversions, it's the same thing he did and that's why the textures were so lame).

Finding the missing LIFOs is the preferred option but highly unlikely.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Andistyr on 2008 September 03, 07:04:16
I agree with you Dudeus - it's frustrating that they expect everybody to pay for their crap that's messed up. 

Edit:  I just now contacted them and mentioned to them that the chair is messed up.  I took a picture of it in the game just as proof.  As soon as I get a response, I'll let everybody know what they said.  They better fix it.

Thanks so much Havelock.  I got a response - here's what they said: "Response (Yves M.) 09/03/2008 11:35 AM Hello,

Thank you for updating Electronic Arts Technical Support. I understand that one of the items you purchased from The Sims 2 Store has corrupted graphics.

Please try re-downloading the item by performing this procedure:
- Please make sure that the game is not running and you are logged out of EA Download
- Open My Documents
- Open EA Games
- There should be a 'The Sims 2 Store Edition' folder; Please rename that to anything.
- Login to your EA Download Manager; It should start downloading the items again
- Start The Sims 2 Store Edition to start the game

Should you require further assistance about this or any Electronic Arts game in the future, please visit our website and review our extensive Self Help Knowledgebase (http://support.ea.com).

Thanks,

Yves
EA Technical Support" 

I love the way they made it sound like the fault lies with me.  I sent the report back in with this response and saying that it isn't my fault and they have to fix the chair - I'm suppose to get a response within 24 hours.  I'll post what they say when I get another response.  This is so frustrating. 

Edit:  Since Richief uploaded the missing texture, I told EA I didn't need and answer to my question.

I just have one question - I hope somebody can answer it - how do you enable hair for elders?  Edit:  Knightguy, I downloaded your 3 hairs.  I purchased that afcornrowbeads - which I was going to enable it for elders before I posted.  I looked at it in SimsPE and it says its for elders too, but, when I looked at it in bodyshop, for the elders it's the straight hair.  I had an adult female sim with that hair and when I made her an elder, that hair was the straight hair.  I have no idea what to do.  I'll go ahead and upload the hair and somebody with knowledge can enable it for elders.

Here's the link for the afcornrowbeads hair - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1vdn0gosrty

Edit: Thanks Knightguy for enabling it for elders.  I don't think I could have figured it out - one of these days I need to learn how to do stuff like that.

the Elders hair textures are usually in the file but missing the base txmt, 3DIR gray hair needs editing, nmap txmt needs the gray base one added, the gray hair property set is usually messing up too

You need a decompressor that supports .7z files, here is one that is compatible with Macs: Download (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19139). It also supports .zip files.

It was EAxis who has broken the Chair, they wrote this in tsDesignModeSlaveSubsets                 frame=(String) fabric, metal
which caused the game not to recognize the metal part as a slavesubset in designmode            frame=(String) fabric,metal  is the corrected string you see a simple space caused the metalpart not to update his color when you switch the Chair design.

i believe it current

the toddlers, childrens zombie hair, mummy hair, mummy outfit are or can be made to be uni-gender   so if you get those you only need get one gender

even the adult Pumpking Heads are for both genders so you only have buy them once not for both male an female

That rar file is the one I uploaded and that SCSkins.package came with those clothes.  I just kept it together because I thought the SCSkins.package was needed.

Edit:  I took out the SCSkins.package out of the rar file since I'm guessing it actually wasn't needed in there.

   Normally, my Goofoo skills are half-way decent, but i've not been able to find the answer to this question. 
   Has anyone fixed the Cubic Bookcase to enable AL skills yet?  (aka - Fire Safety, Physiology, etc)?  Those skills are showing in my regular bookcases, but of course, EAxis failed to enable them for their own custom ones.
   If someone has fixed them, then i will gladly submit to P&L and multiple pokings with sharp, pointy sticks.  (As long as i'm directed to where they are).  :)

I already fixed Cubic bookcase to be compatible with FT. Once updated to FT, it should remain compatible with AL as well. It's included in the collection from the first post.

     <<< Presents himself for pointing and laughing and poking with sharp sticks.   And here i thought i updated every time i saw fixes posted.  Re downloaded and replaced (even tho all files were showing the same size), it works now.  The only reason i can think of for my not having the most up-to date fix is i don't have FT, tho i have no recollection of making a conscience decision not to download.   GayJohnScarritt is thoroughly chastised and humbled, my thanks Lord Darcy.

OK here is the Female Child Zombie hair

Here is the Zombie Toddler hair. It appears EAxis has already enabled this for both male and female already. Shocker.

puhairzombie.package

I didn't bother to compress them (more like forgot  ;D) so all you need to do is put them in your downloads folder. 

I would have enabled the cfhairzombie for males, but I don't know how, sorry.

Thanks for all the store stuff!!  Without you guys the closest I'd probably ever get is window shopping on the EA website.

I am having mixed results with the downloads.  Everything in the first set shows up in my game but the two recent chairs and good deal of the spooky stuff doesn't.  The showing spooky items are the multi-story window, pig gargoyle, street lamp, and wall lamp.

I downloaded the spooky items from the link provided by ZDiablo and the chairs from Richief on page 21.  I am on a Mac so don't have any software from the store on my machine, have all the expansions through Bon Voyage but no stuff packs, and have re-downloaded the files just to be sure.

Thats because we made the first patch of stuff base game compatible. But there is a problem most store stuff has Code from pets ep or higher so this would not work proper in a game without pets. The pig gargoyle calls a Seasons Bhav as an exemple he would error if in a game with no seasons code.

The stuff provided by ZDiablo is flagged Basegame should be visible. The chairs from Richief ar flagged store edition so the would not show up.

Havelock would it be safe to clean all the gray hair references from the children an toddler hairs?

Better left them in for now maybe somone more awesome than us could recover them as Custom Color.

Thanks for the reply Havelock, really appreciate it.  Didn't know that the new items exclusive only to the online store would require certain expansions in order to show up.

It's not really quite like that.  If you install anything from the Store, it makes what is essentially a Store Stuff pack on your computer, which updates your game code to the Pets engine.  If you bypass the Store installation and the resulting issues, then you don't get the game code upgrade and can't use most of the objects in a pre-Pets game.  On my other computer I only have expansions through OFB, and I can only use the Store objects found in Body Shop, surfaces, and decorative.  i could probably use the other things if I installed the free objects from the Store, but I'm not going to infest my computer with the other stuff it comes with.

Which of course also means that picking up one of certain stuff packs on the cheap or by torrent would probably have the same result, but someone else will probably have to identify which pack(s) would do the trick.

Seriously is that it? The property sets of the recolors correct? Would that work for any hair?  Would it work for the afhairlongwavy.package if I wanted that to appear for males?
Would it work on a custom hair that has a separate mesh file?

I'm still learning all this stuff.   :)
Edit - and apparently I also Phail at using quotes.
Edit Edit - Ok I already tried it and see that it doesn't work for adult hairs - their are gaps in the "male" version of the hair when I tried to enable the female wavy hair and the short cut for both sexes.   Perhaps it only works with toddlers and children i'm guessing because their heads are the same size?

it works for children an toddlers because they have the same head an body types   but teens an up are a differnet story   they need a custom mesh since the shape would be differnet

thank you for that hint. I tried scrolling all the way back to the game only items, but maybe I missed seeing the clothes and hair back there. Maybe I'm blind.
Also, I have all ex packs, all stuff packs installed, so I know I'm up to date. Do I still need to put the skins and hairs in the Sims Store folder or right in my downloads folder?

All objects show and are usable, but the clothing and hair are no where to be seen.

I remember having the same problem with previous store stuff,
but moving the clothing and hair from catalog/bins to my Downloads folder fixed the problem.

This time, when I moved the files to Downloads, they still didn't show up in either BodyShop or CAS.

I deleted groups.cache, restarted, and all are showing correctly now.

I also tried "spooky.rar" and got only a fiew items to show up in my game. I can't get the chairs from deco and cubic either. We are also unable to get the free items like the deco lounge chair, the cool mirror, the vase etc... (I know that the last two where items of stuff packs, but I don't want to buy that party set). Could someone please help us? Even if we download the furniture from this website, it still doesn't show up because we don't have the simsstoreprogram. I'm sure there are a lot of people who have the same problem. And I'm sure that there are a lot of people out there who can help us. I would really like those cool cubic and deco chairs! Please, please, pretty please (pretty please with sugar on top)?

Thanks a lot everyone!

Sorry 'bout the shitty mesh for the "bride of frankenstein".  I can't help much with stuff like that.  

Its not your fault, its EAxis who made you pay for a broken Mesh. Its a shame but they dont care.


Title: Fixed Storeshit column
Post by: Alex on 2008 September 07, 14:29:22
I fixed the Column of Duplicate Doom. It was, unsurprisingly, an EngUK localisation error that was causing the incorrect text to appear. All other locales have correct translated text however.

Also, the file name was wrong. EngUS had the correct one, but not the others (understandable as this BETA is only in the US at the moment). I have corrected this for all locales other than Vietnamese (which was empty, so I've left it that way).

Y'know Kaos is my friend.  He delivers milk and great cheese every day*.  But sometimes he's just not welcome.

What I'm trying to say is that I have no idea which files to download and which not.   Could someone come up with an icon set to put in posts for things like:

Put in EA store folder in TSBin
Put in downloads folder
Fixed
Not fixed
Latest version.
Box.com download link which gives a "no such file here" response
Dead link
Needs sacrifice of two large goats, one small virgin and a CPU

Thanks.  I know you're working like crazy to get this stuff out, but this thread is 25 pages long.  And half of the posts are "I'm lost what do I do?", which doesn't help anything.  Me, I've just downloaded three different versions of the Spooky Set Objects and I have no idea which one works.

Thanks for the heads up about dead links Lerf, I hadn't checked that subfolder on box.net for quite some time and it turns out those files are gone.
There's no use in replacing them either since there are more updated downloads now.

Removed the links from my posts.

Hey everyone,

it has nothing to do with the amount of EP's you have. It's because we don't have the "sims store" folder and the matching program. The same problems occurd with the deco and cubic set but some people could fix it. Thanks in advance!


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: jriggs on 2008 September 07, 18:00:28
Many of us dont have the "sims store" folder or matching program and the items show up just fine.  I am one of them.  I have all of the expansions.  I have all of the downloads that have been put up here and they all work just by putting them in my regular downloads folder.

Post by: Sigmund on 2008 September 07, 18:30:40

i have created a sims store folder, but i don't have the ea download manager. and i'm afraid of having it because of securom and everything. besides i'm not from the us, nor canada, and well, even though troglodite said we can download things from sims 2 store even if we are not from the us or canadá, i don't feel comfortable downloading that program... can't securom mess up our computers sometimes?

That's an understatement, yes. If you've read the Securom removal thread and don't feel comfortable getting it off your computer, I would strongly suggest you avoid putting it on there in the first place.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Thalia on 2008 September 07, 18:43:03
I chatted with Pescado about this in grah.  The objects are not showing up for people who have not installed the EA downloader because it creates a sort of Stuff Pack for them.  To use the files without the downloader, they must be converted to a base-game code.  It's easy: load the file into SimPE, open the OBJD, and edit field "0x0040" to say 0x1 instead of 0x1000.  Commit for each OBJD and save.

I'll upload the fixed objects once I have all of them done, and anyone who wants to can distribute them again.   :P

So that was the problem with the sollution for the previous objects... But I didn't understand a word of it because I'm clearly not as good with computers as BastDawn and other hero's on this forum. Does anyone have a clue? Thanks a whole lot!

Hi everyone!  I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the problem I'm having with my EA Store items.  I downloaded them directly from the EA Store and now they have disappeared on me.  My game crashed when I was in CAS, and when I loaded it back up none of the hair or clothing was there.  My EA Download Manager said I had 17 items in the queue to dowload (which I thought was odd but whatever...) and I let them redownload.  I did this three times, and they never did show up in the game again.  Now it's not even showing that I have items to download in the EADM queue.  *headdesk* 

I paid for the crap, and darn it... it ought not to just disappear like that.  *grumbles*

I tried deleting the groups.cache and the accessories.cache and no luck.  I've also sent a help message to EA, but haven't heard from them yet either. 

Do any of you have any insight or suggestions?

Thank you!

Edited to add: I do have the EA Store main program downloaded, and had actually been using the EA Store items in my game with no troubles until this problem happened.  It's very confusing.

Post by: Celtic Sweetheart on 2008 September 07, 23:03:29
Hello everyone!  First of all a big THANK YOU for everyone who has posted these files to share!  I have a question though.  I've been going through all of these pages on these downloads and somewhere got lost along the way TRYING to make sure that I got them all.  I was going to buy a few and donate them as well.  Anyhow, in my extreme denseness, I got lost and have no idea now what has been fixed, what hasn't, where to put the stuff in my game, do I NEED to store thinger in my game, etc...

So, in case I have missed something, because I now have a migraine trying to look through (at the time) 26 pages, has anyone uploaded ALL of the objects in ONE big file?  If so, can someone please post the link?  And, if there are still files needed, please let me know which ones so I can go get some and donate them as well to share with everyone. :-\

Also, I have ALL of the pre-orders, if anyone needs any of those.  That doesn't go here, I know, but just so people know.



Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Celtic Sweetheart on 2008 September 07, 23:18:44
Thanks for the info!  One more question.  Are all of the objects from the store available here in one big download that are fixed?  Because I REALLY got lost looking through them and which were fixed, etc. 


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff

Hi Celtic Sweetheart,
Page 25 post# 612 has the up to date list of items not yet aquired. As far as having all files in one dl has not happened yet, as TashaFaun stated. I'm sure eventually it will... maybe when all items are finally posted and fixed. It took me one evening to read though this whole thread to find the dl's.. so I understand where you're coming from.

The spooky.rar (p. 22) and the ts2StoreCubicDecoChair.rar (p. 25) files have been fixed per the above instructions and they did not work for you. Your only option is to install the EA Store if you want the stuff.  See page 24 post #575 for a better understanding on how the EA store items work.


Hey ZDiabolo,

Thanks for the information and your efforts to make this stuff work for everyone. It's weird that the furniture doesn't show up however, since all of the previous furniture did (after someone had fixed them that is). I have all the other cubic and deco items and they work just fine in my game. There are also (like Braziliangirl said) a few items of the spooky set that work too, but not all of them. If anyone has a clue of how this is possible, please let me know! I also want to thank everyone here for sharing and giving me information!

Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: bzrburns on 2008 September 09, 02:10:26
I solved the problem of the Spooky skin stuff not showing up in the game by extracting files to both C:\Documents\Eagames\The Sims 2 Store Edition\skins and to another folder I created C:\Documents\Eagames\the Sims2\Dowloads\Store Stuff.   Also do the same thing for the first set of downloads from the Store as some of that stuff may go missing or get corrupted too.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Cappuccino on 2008 September 09, 03:01:03
So, has anyone seen the Mummy Head Wraps for toddlers in their games? That's the only thing not working for me, the file shows that it's only 2,18 kbs so I guess it's corrupted.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Celtic Sweetheart on 2008 September 09, 04:28:18
Wow.  This all makes my head spin.  Maybe because I am so dense. 

So I went and looked at the list with the missing items and was in pursuit of investing, then read a post that said "here are the rest of the skins."  So I am confused.  AGAIN.  Does that mean that ALL of the files from the store are available here now?  I don't want to buy anything if they are already here.

I'm going to wait until EVERYTHING is fixed and in one spot I think.  Like I said before, I got really lost trying to find everything that was fixed and not get duplicate files etc. 

And thanks again for sharing everyone.  I really wish I had beat whoever it was to getting all of the pre-order things here.  I kinda feel like a mooch or something...

I've updated the main post with what I think are the latest downloads, if someone could check them out and confirm that it would be great.

I just skimmed through it but they seem to be all up-to-date.  That is, except the Cubic TV, which doesn't seem to be updated to Freetime.  I don't know if that has been fixed anywhere else in this thread, or if it's supposed to be a DIY. 


EDIT: This collection has an updated TV:

http://www.mediafire.com/?uj3nfxe5ss7

My link is http://www.mediafire.com/?jzzzd3vzzxt

Television_Floor_Cubic.package in that link does not have FT functions, but TelevisionCubic.package in the older link does.

The first link doesn't work (at least for me).  Nothing downloads, but the second one does.  I really want that updated tv.

Ooh!!!  People talking about bitching out EA tech support!  Been there did that but only in e-mail.  It took me THREE WEEKS to get a problem with my game solved and then their solutions, (yes, I said solutionS) still didn't work.  I ended up figuring out the problem and fixing it myself.  I swear they have idiots working for them.

And while I am bitching, I may as well bitch about them actually selling items.  I was a bit more than shocked when I saw their store.  Everyone there is against people selling custom content items and then they do it themselves.  That totally blew my mind.  When I mentioned it at the TS2 forums, I got a lot of nasty hate mail in my BLOG there and my post got deleted.  I got a nice warning from the moderators.  Guess I am too obnoxious and sarcastic...a smart ass of sorts.  Oh well.  So I am opinionated.  At least I said what I thought before I got "punished."

Someone else here suggested putting all of the fixed files here in one big rar file since it is so hard to find them all.  I guess, by what I am reading, they are all here now, all that are available now, but I agree, as I stated before, it is very hard to go through 27 pages to find the fixed stuff. :o  UGH.

Hey you. This is not your personal request forum; there is a search button right there in that handy row of blue buttons, we have a 'Where can I find' thread, and the thread actually STATES what is here already, if you could READ. You don't quite seem to understand that you're not paying anyone here for services. Also, using the most recently modified file is not that confusing or difficult when you get the files for FREE. EA expects you to navigate an entire store FFS. Cappuccino even did the work for you. Damn kids!

first off, i wana say how much i love all the stuff here (especialy watching the bathroom controler chase sims out or into my bathrooms..im so glad it still works with Apartment Life)

mainly de-lurking to
a: thank everyone that has shared the EA-trash to be fixed and made usable, for being so generous and not falling into the usual 'its mine, naff off!' put that alot of people seem to be in, and
b: ask, i did the usual, placed the files into the EA Store folder in the hard drive and all the items are showing up but....body shop are not. i've take everyhitng out of the sub folders and moved them all into the EA Store folder, but if the clothes and hairs ect are still not showing up, do i need to move them to just a folder in the downloads or beat them with the Fugly Stick?

one new folder called Lol_pay_shite comming up in my DL folder then. *cheaky grin*

thats just the clothing / hairs / accessories though, since the furniture and build ect are showing up.

hm..i wonder....if you build a lot with these items in, do they come with the lot, or revert to a lesser item if you didnt have the item in the folder if its uploaded?
(i know alot of my recols that i DL sneak into my builds, i would clean them out but the Clean Installer stopped working for me once seasons and BV arived and im told its not going to be updated *sulks*...ah well......less for places like Mts2, and more for places like Maty and Insim :D)

Sorry, I ran out of money before I could snag the Your Not Welcome Door.

Oh, don't mention it, you got enough already. :)

The door and column don't work in Bins either (and I don't have an EA Store folder, I thought the 3rd patch for FreeTime created it?) and I *think* the big column, which does show up, overwrites the Simply Round Column from OFB. (Simply Round Column is gone, and the new one uses its catalog description)

(http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/4674/columneg6.jpg)

My OFB two story column has been missing since I installed Free Time, so it may not necessarily be completely the fault of these spook objects that it is missing (though I find it interesting that it is using that catalog description... me thinks EAxis made a goober in Free Time to prepare for the TS2 Payshit site)

Hmm I don't have that problem.

I see it listed as "column of duplicate doom" in my game with the correct description. The "simply round column" still shows up in the columns section.

What EPs do you currently have installed? Just wondering to see if my theory is short of the mark.

Yea... I just checked. I have all EP and SP installed and even the nasty Store Edition... And my OfB mulitstory column is missing even before I install the Spooky Column.
Well, I am now starting to wonder how many more objects are missing with FreeTime!? >:(

Yes mostly because Numenor restored the broken Column with CEP.

Not really.... Or maybe I am wrong... Anyway, I made a test, cloning the OfB column: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=bd1e0df125bd94deab1eab3e9fa335ca5ca6a50f8e59e1a3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=bd1e0df125bd94deab1eab3e9fa335ca5ca6a50f8e59e1a3)

Simply unzip the .package file to X:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins

At least this made my column show up again.

Well, besides, I've also checked the news and details list of CEP and found there's another missing item, the Garden Rock from Seasons.
Anyway, I guess the fix can also be obtained by downloading the CEP manual installation version and look under the Extra folder. Remember to follow the instruction for installation otherwise you will end up having the awkward custom asterisks with your objects.  ;D

This folder seems to be empty according to my browser... anyone else experiencing problems? I would really love to have this lovely hunk of EAxis concrete back in my game if only for nostalgia's sake.

Sorry, I ran out of money before I could snag the Your Not Welcome Door.

Oh, don't mention it, you got enough already. :)

The door and column don't work in Bins either (and I don't have an EA Store folder, I thought the 3rd patch for FreeTime created it?) and I *think* the big column, which does show up, overwrites the Simply Round Column from OFB. (Simply Round Column is gone, and the new one uses its catalog description)

My OFB two story column has been missing since I installed Free Time, so it may not necessarily be completely the fault of these spook objects that it is missing (though I find it interesting that it is using that catalog description... me thinks EAxis made a goober in Free Time to prepare for the TS2 Payshit site)

Hmm I don't have that problem.

I see it listed as "column of duplicate doom" in my game with the correct description. The "simply round column" still shows up in the columns section.

Sorry about the empty folder... I'll look into that later and I will probably re-upload the file.

BTW, Numenor did mention the lost of the garen rocks. When you download the manual installation version, there is a folder called CEP documentation and you choose the pdf about extras and scroll down the slides and you will find a page about the missing or bugged objects.

Just a heads up, if you have Apartment Life installed.  The problem with that version of CEP is that it isn't updated for Apartment Life yet.  While you might restore the column of OFB, this outdated version of CEP causes the recolors to of some objects disappear.

Ok so I have created a Store File in the programs files area (previous address from another post- just can't remember where exactly)
And then I put the files in both the downloads area and that other folder...

At first I had some of the hair show up but now just 2 of the hairs show up and none of the other stuff shows up in BodyShop.

I downloaded the files from the main page here & also the files from the other thread... I'm not sure what to do from here to get everything to show up.

I have most of the ep's except Holiday & Ikea...
I have looked through several pages to find the answer but couldn't find the info & the info I did come across I've tried.

So could we edit the first post in this thread or in the new thread to address this issue & how can I fix this??

Also thank you for making these files available.

-Note: I do not have the EA Store installer so should I install it & does it have SecuRom on it?

Any idea?


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: seelindarun on 2008 October 08, 21:04:30
Most objects, clothes and hair have been fixed to require just the base game.  HOWEVER, some objects rely on later game code.  This is why the legit store uses an installer.  It attempts to upgrade your game engine so it can use the new object you bought, even if you didn't get the full EP on which it depends. 

It is quite impossible for the generous people, who gave their money and their time to get these objects, to also go and test the EP/SP requirements for every single fucking chair, dress, window, etc.  If you would like to volunteer your time for this effort, please do, otherwise STFU.

Maybe this needs to go in the lead post, because it's just so goddamned tiring to read every noob come along and whine...

Well, I reinstalled FreeTime to test the jewelry rack and can confirm that it's only apparent function is to add the missing three color options to the existing EP's jewelry rack. Turned out that the OBJD didn't even need modifying for it to do that. I'm still not sure if it should have more functionality, though.  :P


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: SiuPang on 2008 October 14, 16:55:31
Here I have another craptastic store item to add to the collection; The SparkleMaster Jewelry Rack. Ie. the jewelry display from Bon Voyage. I've edited the OBJD 0x0040 field from the original 0x0400 to 0x001, 0x004, 0x002, and even 0x000 to no avail. It will show up ingame using all but 0x000, but, has no functionality, if I'm lucky enough that it doesn't cause the community lot my sim is visiting to reset to build mode or crash my game to a bsod. Ugh.

The version of the game that I am trying to use it in only has up to Seasons installed with all Stuff packs minus KBID and is running on a PC that does not have the piece of **** EADM installed on it. I am posting the file here with the hope that some kind modder will take a look at it to see if, and how, it's borked. Cheers!

*Edited to add: O.k. I may feel a bit silly here, but, if I do it's EA's fault for their lack of description for this object. After I posted it here I thought about the fact that it only had one OBJD entry and it occurred to me that it may literally only be a "display" rack meant to add to the jewelry display rack appearance options of the other two EPs that already have jewelry in them, FT and AL. If that's the case, and this does not even expand the jewelry collections of those two EPs to what BV has, then that's just pathetic. I would appreciate it if someone could confirm this theory for me. Thanks.

I dun quite understand. So this file just add some missing color options to the jewellery rack? It would be cool if there are pictures of them. :P
Anyway. "TS2 Store Stuff" here in this topic means items downloaded from thesims2store.ea.com. Maybe you have misunderstood the topic. But I do still appreciate your creation! :)

Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: Mellisenda on 2008 October 16, 21:59:34
O.k. ;) The Bon Voyage jewelry stand has the three color (texture) options you mentioned here, Paradoxe. The FreeTime and Apartment Life EP jewelry stands do not, though. They only come in the mountain one. Therefore, this Sims 2 Store jewelry stand may only add the missing three color options to games that do not have Bon Voyage installed, but do have FT &/or AL. That's what EA/Maxis left out of the Store object's description, though.  :-\ They do not specify, at all, what the stand does. Due to that, it appears as though it may do more, like add the jewelry feature to games that do not have BV, FT, or AL installed.

Post by: Paradoxe on 2008 October 17, 01:52:14
Oops ! It was a version shipped with AL ? I see, it's like the pet stuff added with this EP. It's a bit lame to sell the item for just the missing colors. They could add all of them from the start with AL. That couldn't hurt. :-\

I can confirm that the exe is exactly the same size as the original one I downloaded from EA in 2005- it's an executable because it applies like a patch, so adds the items and clothes to the basegame objects and 3D files. It also adds the New Year Party, plus NPCs Baby New Year and Father Time. The Mini Pack was an exe like that too- they combined both as a proper stuff pack (Happy Holiday Stuff I think).

Thank you Simsample for sharing this link.

As others noted above, the download was not a pack of loose holiday objects and stuff from the TS2 Store.
It was for an exe installer file for the actual "Holiday Stuff" pack for PCs, not the Holiday objects from the store.


it's an executable because it applies like a patch, so adds the items and clothes to the basegame objects and 3D files.

I have an Intel Mac running Leopard 10.5.4.
AFAIK, .exe format is an installer for PCs.
Is there any way an Intel Mac user can get the Holiday Items from the above file in OSX; WITHOUT partitioning the hard drive, installing Windows, installing a windows version of TS2, and running the installer through Boot Camp / Parallels? (which is not an option for me on our shared family computer) Because even if I could do all that and install the PC Holiday Stuff Pack, I'm not sure I could "transfer over" whatever does get installed to the Mac version of TS2.

Or better yet, back to the original question that was asked earlier by CountessGutter -- Are the holiday objects from the TS2 store available anywhere?

Thank you in advance.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: seelindarun on 2008 December 22, 18:37:58
No, and no, not that I'm aware of.  It's technically possible to extract objects and clothes from a PC installation, and bring them over to your mac, but I think it would take you until the new year to learn how to do it and execute it.  It's a tedious process, even after you've figured it out.  Unfortunately, buying the Store objects isn't an option for us, either.  Sorry. :(

ETA: If you can find a co-conspirator partner with a PC and the TSStore client installed, you can send them the money to purchase the objects for you.  They'd have to upload the objects, and then I can alter the files for your mac.  (Alternatively, if your partner is versed in SimPE, the changes aren't difficult to apply.)  This would be perfectly legal since you will have purchased the right to use the objects.


Title: Re: TS2 Store Stuff
Post by: bellynn on 2008 December 26, 17:23:22
Thank you for the information, seelindarun. It sounds like while TS2 PC-2-Mac object conversion is possible, that it's such an overly complicated process I don't have the time to attempt to learn right now, even if I did have a PC to attempt it with.
Yes, I know you can't buy objects at the TS2 Store if you have a mac. That stinks. :( I don't know any PC simmers well enough to ask them to shop for me.

In the end, I found a torrent with some shared EAxis downloads, including some items for Christmas like a tree, a wreath and a lawn reindeer. That did a good enough job of helping my sims decorate for a Merry Christmas.

Thanks again for the helpful info.

knightguy is correct, the first one is in the Asian Fusion collection and the second is in the Art Nouveaulicious collection. They are probably looking at the store and at the hair itself and seeing them and not looking in the collections to see if they are part of one of them.

You are right. They belong to exisiting collections.
