26  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Decrapified Store content missing in downloaded lots on: 2011 June 07, 20:49:18
Strangely, decrapified Sim and world Sims3Pack files that contain pay store content work just fine, so it seems like lots would be the same way. I tried poking into the library files at one point but didn't get very far. Decrapifying did change some values in the file but the objects still wouldn't show up.

I enabled the floral stencil for the second preset and used a blank stencil for the third, matching the other castle objects. It's acting rather finicky, though. When I picked the second and third presets straight from the catalogue and plopped them down they still showed the flag stencil but when I entered Create-A-Style and selected them there they had the correct stencils. Kind of inconvenient but it'll do until I or someone else figures out how to make it more permanent.

No picture, objects affected are King Launergan's Royal Bunk Bedding and King Launergan's Royal Loft Bedding from Generations, both §1200.

Edit: Ugh, had a Stupid Moment and did the blank stencil in an inefficient way. Redownload to save yourself 80kb. Or don't, it works fine either way.

I've been fiddling around with the new Buy/Build filters and there's an annoying issue with the basegame one. I put some objects back in Mods\Packages and the custom filter works--only shows custom content. The store filter (even for decrapified content) works--only shows store content. But the basegame filter shows base and decrapified store and custom content. I assume it's because all the filter is looking for is an EPFlag value of 0x00 but it's strange that EA wouldn't differentiate it more than that. Even for people with crapified store content it would still show custom objects along with base objects, rather defeating the purpose.

HugeLunatic already unlocked and fixed that file here. There are decrapified and unmodified versions to download.

I've been checking every month and there hasn't been anything hidden lately. EA seems to be wising up or just not bothering to make any alternate stencils.

There's a new SimPoint bundle up... for $160 US. Which includes several things you already get in the less expensive bundles and one new shirt for adult males. The deals, they just keep coming.

Oh, whoops, I thought you meant you had all four at the start there. I'm not sure where 3 is from, it's an Exclusive Lounge that looks like this:



The style seems EA-ish, lots of empty space inside.

The Hope Hills sign was a preorder bonus from the EA Store in some regions. It's a knockoff of the Hollywood sign, promo pic here. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been posted before.

Building 3 is new to me but 1 was definitely in that retail set. Can you upload 4 as well, pirat?
33  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled - Added 1/6 on: 2011 January 08, 17:50:29
Where did you get your merged packages? There was a problem on page 1 with people who got them from a source that changed the instances of the OBJDs. If you're not sure how to check, upload one of your packages and I'll see what's going on.
34  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled - Added 1/6 on: 2011 January 06, 20:37:34
EA astoundingly managed to figure out the stencils for most of the objects on their own this month. The only thing missing I could see was the rabbit painting.
35  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled - Added 12/2 on: 2010 December 03, 15:10:12
Awesome, thanks for sharing. I try to be thorough but if I miss things feel free to request or post it yourself. Along those lines, I found something else I missed from way back in the Tiki set. Two new stencils are now unlocked for the screen.
36  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled - Added 12/2 on: 2010 December 03, 02:17:02
Done (Sherlock sigs get you faster service). There's actually only one hidden stencil, the other one is the decal on the side.
37  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled - Added 12/2 on: 2010 December 03, 00:49:48
Updated for the new Woodland set. Hope you like cows!

The top for Elder females is old but there is a new one for YA/A (and possibly Teen) in the bundle. The hair is slightly different from the HELS one. Clearly worth $80US, right there. People must be lining up to buy it.
39  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled - Added 11/5 on: 2010 November 05, 20:57:40
Updated to include stencils for Moroccan sofa, loveseat, coffee table.

nosoupforyou, I'm afraid I don't know what could be wrong. HL said in the comments that it should be working now for people who have the sims3pack installed. Maybe try downloading the non-decrap file again and putting it in a Mods/Override folder instead of Mods/Packages? I had no trouble with the mod myself.
40  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled - Added 7/15 on: 2010 November 03, 16:11:20
Do you use extracted packages for your store content? HugeLunatic uploaded another version of the mod for people who don't decrapify. It should work the same way as mine, just put the mod in an Override folder.

Once Late Night comes out it would be worth a try to sign up for a new account, set the birthday to a couple days later, register the expansion on that account, and check the box to receive emails from EA. I read that some people were able to register new store-accessible accounts using only an EP/SP code for the refer-a-friend thing.
42  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: The TS3 Store: post your questions, updates, and tech help here on: 2010 September 25, 19:53:44
Some people on MTS and the official forums have reported receiving the birthday set. You apparently have to have "I would like to receive info on The Sims/EA products, community news and activities" checked in your My Account > Site Preferences section. The set only started being sent out in August so if your birthday was before that you have to wait until it comes around again.
43  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: The TS3 Store: post your questions, updates, and tech help here on: 2010 September 24, 00:39:20
How it works is that someone with a registered account (A) gives a referral link to another person with a registered account (B) who has never bought SimPoints before. B then buys a point bundle of $10 (to get the Quarterback/Cheerleader set) or $20 (to get the Divalicious set) and the set shows up in both A and B's account histories to download. A also gets a bonus of 100 SimPoints (for the $10 bundle) or 300 SimPoints (for the $20 bundle). Then A has to refer another person who has never bought SimPoints in order to get the other set. It's really quite ridiculous.

Can't reproduce this problem, works fine for me.

I can reproduce this very, very inconsistently. Initial placement always works fine for me, it's grabbing them with the hand tool afterward that's the issue. Sometimes grabbing any of the three racks or the garage door will lock up the game. Sometimes it's only one. Sometimes they all work fine. The only thing that is consistent is that when it freezes, it keeps freezing under the exact same conditions (e.g. only when I try to pick up one specific rack) until I either shuffle things around in my Mods folder or delete the cache files. That seems to reset whichever one (if any) is locking up the game. I haven't had it happen yet in an AM-only test, but adding my mods back in bit by bit until it's the same setup where I previously had a freeze always results in no freeze or a different freeze. Bizarre.

Hi all

I'm trying to minimise the size of my files and I've deleted the THUM parts from my packages files using S3PE, which I read on another site (the site said that even without the THUM parts, the game will automatically create thumnails). My query is, can the same be done with the DBC files in my DBCCACHE folder?

Thank you for your time.

Yes, it can. This actually works out well because with decrapified files, the thumbnails included show up as too large in the catalogue. Deleting them from the DCCache DBCs forces the game to generate normal looking thumbnails instead.

The one side effect is that you won't see any thumbnails for the objects if you're browsing them in the launcher. I never do that so it isn't a problem for me.

You want the new sculpturePartitionModernAsian2x1 file, not the AsianFusion one. It wasn't a part of that set so I didn't include it in there.
47  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled - Added 7/15 on: 2010 July 15, 19:04:48
Added the Modern Asian screen. It's not a new store item, I just forgot to check it for hidden stencils before.
48  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled on: 2010 July 07, 12:47:04
Oh, how puzzling. I myself have recategorized several of the objects in these sets (which I didn't realize until after uploading, so sorry if things appear in a different place than you're used to!) without issue, so it must have been a method I'm unfamiliar with. At least you figured it out and it works now.

jaldeer, I downloaded the CastleInterior.package dated 3/10/10 found here and tried it in my game with the unmodified version of the CastleInterior stencils. They showed up just like they should. Are you sure there's nothing else in your Mods folder that's modifying this set? Try taking out everything but the store package and the stencil override and see if it works then.
49  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled on: 2010 July 06, 12:43:16
Having two overrides modifying one merged package isn't an problem--it's something wacky with the set itself. The instance numbers for several objects are completely different from what they should be, which is why neither override is working. I'm not even sure how this can happen through the regular method people use to extract these packages. Where did you download it originally? I hope it's not the most popular version of the set in package form because it means these objects wouldn't show up in any houses people download with them and this kind of mod wouldn't work and they wouldn't know why.

I would recommend downloading a different Animals_Fullset2.package or extracting your own after running the sims3pack through s3rc. After that the unmodified version of the mod should work. For anyone using store stuff in package form who is missing every object from a given set, instead of some but not others, try using the version of the mod (unmodified/decrapified) you hadn't used before first. If it still doesn't work it's possible the set you downloaded needs to be redownloaded from another source.
50  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Pudding Factory / Re: Store content hidden stencils enabled on: 2010 July 06, 03:37:31
This is stumping me. I removed all traces of decrapified content from my game, cleared caches, ran Animals_Fullset2.sims3pack through s3rc, extracted to package, and set up my Mods folder similar to what I described using the unmodified version of the override. The desk and wall light both work fine for me including the added stencils. Can you upload your Animals_Fullset2.package somewhere so I can take a look?
