This works for me. Though when I use the tree of prosperity, it won't let me pick the fruit. I think that might be more on my end though because it sounds like people are having glitches with it too and I have a few mods anyway.

EDIT: Actually, I'm a moron and missed the packaged fix (that was on this page no less). Everything now works perfectly with the fix and that world- tested it for quite a while.

By big kids I mean the hipsters that hang out at trendy smoothie cafes and such- not very big but very kiddish. 

I did do that with objects, but I was hoping to find a way to do it with the new neighborhood (aside from doing it the unbelievably complicated way). There's a guy on demonoid who is still updating each month, I was just trying to see if I could get it before he gets around to incorporating it in the March update- oh well!

Also, thank you for not responding with, "Here's a fix, buy a decent computer." I'm in art school, and the big kids make fun of the PC users.

I neglected to mention that I'm confined to a mac, and as far as I know, there aren't any decrapifiers for macs.

I'm sure this has been asked here before, but I've googled, gone to many forums, and checked the last few pages here and have yet to find anything. What is the fix for when you install something via the launcher and it goes to the installation window but says, "Installation failed: Make sure you have the latest software updates and try again." I only get it when I try to install Sims 3 Store content from the other thread in this forum.
