TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: If you REALLY want to use Launcher to install Sims3Pack with 1.8/2.3

So then I proceeded with the TS3EP01.exe from the "working launcher" folder to play the game. It goes past the startup screen to the screen where I can now select the game I want to play then it starts to the load the game but then it crashes half way through. I really want to play the game and I don't feel like reinstalling because I believe this is an issue I should be able to fix. Please help!!!!
I had the same problem, so now I use the TS3EP01.exe from the World Adventures folder. The instructions only state we should use the Launcher from the "working launcher" folder. But I could be wrong; you might want to wait for someone with more experience than I for an answer.

I keep reading here that Prima Guides are crap, but the guides for TS3 and WA are being shared. Is anyone willing to share the guides for TS2 and its expansions? I might find at least some useful information.

One of my Sims just got inducted into the Secret Society at Le Tour. Would putting any of the career rewards in his inventory be a VBT? Would the game regenerate them at the Secret Society lot the next time my Sim visits?

BlueSoup said in another thread that we don't need to keep the stuff in the Downloads folder. But I wondered: if we ever reinstall our game, will we need those to reinstall store items with the Launcher? Or will we just be able to use a backup of the Sims 3 folder?
After a Vista update killed my computer the other day, I had to reinstall all of my software. In preparation, I backed up the Electronic Arts folder and moved it back after reinstalling the game, and everything was already there. Oh, good. Thanks!

That does indeed and it sounds fucking retarded. Well, at least we now know how to get rid of the EA made presets. I'll poke around with that "feature" and see if I can figure out what the default files name is, and where it needs to be put in order to get the Ea made ones back.
I already reinstalled the game. But that would be great, in case I make other fuck-ups.

It's kind of difficult to explain. I clicked on an EAxis made recolor and stupidly clicked "Save as Custom Content." The EAxis recolor then had a custom content icon on it; there was no duplicate made. Does that make more sense?

In CAS, I stupidly saved an EAxis recolor (formal sportscoat) as custom content. I tried removing the userPresets.package from the Documents folder; it deleted the EAxis recolor. Anyone have an idea how to fix this, besides reinstalling the game?

Flicker with new ATI cards is not unheard of. I have a HD 3850 and don't have the problem. There's many cases where new drivers break things that were fine in earlier versions -- ask anyone with an nVidea card about that. It's possible ATI broke something again. You can download older driver versions from the ATI website, so download the 8.10 drivers, uninstall the 8.12, install the 8.10 and see if that fixes it. If so, great! If not, there's another issue going on. Try rolling back the drivers. In the thread this post is from, apparently jsalemi's advice was good. I'm going to try to roll back the drivers. My graphics didn't flicker before I updated them. Then I'll keep trying to find my bad custom content.

I don't think you want your card running at 125. As for operating temperatures, mine is operating at -58 C, which is much better.
One tool read the temp at 0 degrees Celsius, the other at 42 degrees Celsius. I don't know which one is right. Do *you* know a reliable GPU sensor that works with Vista? (And yes, I know you think Vista sucks. )
