I had to check to make sure, but yes, the file is decrappified. I also tried without decrappification, with the same results. I've downloaded a newer/older version and still had the same issue - which is why I'm almost positive it's an embarrassing pebcak issue.

Sounds like there's a hitch somewhere.

I realize I should ask the creator this question, but because the opportunity presented itself here (and I generally forget the issue unless I am using the program) I am going to proceed with my question to you. The process to remove the unwanted files is to uncheck those specific files, correct? Then go to 'File' and select 'Save'.  However, I invariably get an error every time I try to open the "new" Sims3pack. Obviously, I am DOING IT WRONG. Stupid Pebcak.

Please to enlighten.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who backed up personal info to that site. Luckily, it's stored in my fubarred net drive. Yay.

'em er some slim pickin's thar, I tell ya'! Seems mighty reasonable if granny wants ta go to tha prom. hurr (craptastic!) har!

Does this only happen to extremely shy teens (or animals)? Perhaps it's a TS3 programmer's experience written into the code? Or, a glitch.

I heard somewhere that Pescado has a kick-ass recipe for some-type of incendiary device which includes some special, not-for-the-plebian-masses, vodka. A pixelated version of that could be some interesting gaming! A non-pixelated version of that could be some interesting times, especially around the holidays when mixed with volatile fambly members.

You were incredibly, but kindly directed here from another thread in order to find what you requested. I believe every item in this thread is included in a post just a few above yours. It is incumbent upon YOU to search and find what you want.

eta a but.

Thanks for the up, jmtmom. Do you know if the clothes work, or have they been wonkified from Pets-patching snafu? If the clothes files managed to make it past the pets-patching problem, great, but if not, will the Granthification method work on clothes? I'm asking because I haven't heard of any issues with borked clothing rigs, but I haven't searched for the information yet, either, since I haven't gotten around to checking how the cc works in the pets patched game.

 O rly?

I only install store stuff and worlds via the launcher. I convert all other cc to packages. Also, if content is showing up as being installed by the launcher, you'd think the stuff would show up in it. The content being cloned from a store object makes sense for the icon showing up in game, but any ideas of how to track down the offending crap if it's not showing up in the launcher? Is it possible for the cc to have a store icon in game, yet be installed as a package if it's cloned from store content?

That's hilarious! Isn't it a feature? If not, I think it should be.

As the title says, I have TSR cc showing up in game as store content. Not only did I NOT download this stuff, let alone install it, but I always "custardarize" any lot I download and convert to a package before dropping it into the library folder. Obviously, I missed something, somewhere. That is irritating enough, but the fact that TSR shit has an icon indicating that it's store stuff demands an explanation! WTF? Aaaared store shit doesn't even show up as store content. Even more frustrating, when I go to delete the offending shit via the launcher, none of the unwanted crap shows up there. I would really like to know how to nuke that shit outta my game (hopefully without having to delete the dcdb files and reinstall all my store crap) and why on Earth it shows as store stuff.

You really should read this thread again and try comprehending what the posters have written. After reading the interchange between Moryrie and jeromycraig, I google searched, and voila - a linky-poo to the information appeared!

I was wondering if installing the separated counters with the full sets installed would overwrite or duplicate the files. So, if I am understanding correctly, installing separated counters doesn't duplicate, yet causes missing strings in buy mode - but they work. Hopefully, the same is true for the fences. It seems I spend more time trying to get content to work properly than playing the game.

Does this mean you can have WA installed (and use the objects) without having travel destinations? Love this idea for "Terra Nova" type scenario - you can't go home!

The original owner of the brothel was caught doing all kinds of illegal stuff (imagine that), and govco took over. I imagine once Govt. began managing, health concerns for both buyers and sellers became more important. However, govt. didn't manage too well, and ended up auctioning the brothel. It seems to me that govt. is more experienced at screwing. Hurr

Perhaps you were thinking of the Mustang Ranch? ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCOX8gXclyE] 

Did you try the store files here?

Are you still neglecting your shift key?  Even 12s know to capitalize "I" when referring to oneself. You don't need to be perfect, but at least try to communicate like an adult.

Thanks for the files. I don't know if it will even work, but there's (probably) no harm in trying.  Wait a minute. Are you watching me through mah cameraz?

Edited to add:

Well, It seems that when you open the launcher and get the 'there is a patch available' message, the magical launcher will install a contentPatch folder for you, even if you don't select an option to install. The folder is empty, but just in case you're gonna want to install the patch later, most of the work is already done.  Ta Da! 

I don't use the launcher to start the game, and I never let the launcher phone home. Is there a workaround for this yet? Are the fixes even worth using it?

Kissing Toast, would you be willing to share the file so I could see if it would work if installed manually?

There's a fixed spellbook on this site, and if you search there are a few posts explaining what to do with it. I don't use the 3viewer to install content, so I don't know if it decrapifies or not, but a quick search will give you specific information on how to do so, so that your store stuff will show up in your game.

I don't use the woohooer, but do you even need it with AM?

I thought it was redundant to compress prior to merging files since they are compressed in s3pc.

What is the benefit of moving the dbc's to the package folder? I'm assuming installed this way, they show up with the custom content stars?  I'm really curious.
