My last reply is just there to tell Electric Arts Inc. ("EA") how I feel personally and now I want to tell Vineeta Gajwani the followings and I believe as you mentioned you will be monitoring this *site* (indeed, this is a forum and I am not sure what the law in US states but I strongly believe a website and an online forum are different, please refer to the Law and check the difference!) and so I guess you are reading this thread too.

1. People here only *linked* to those files in Schedule 1. Those files were uploaded to a hosting website or server owned by MediaFire but not More Awesome Than You.
2. Moderators or Owners of this online forum did or do not encourage any infringement upon any copyrights owned by Electric Arts Inc., no matter it is about The SIMS or not.
3. Moderators here can delete posts suspicious of infringing upon intellectual properties but they cannot stop people from saying they may have discovered those supicious contents on the web and posted a link to them.
4. When EA produced the game and in many of the commericals by EA about The SIMS, they have stated clearly the ability of customization of any content of the game is a feature of the product. EA also further stated clearly in their EA TOOLS END USER LICENSE that end user can create custom contents using any content from the game or any associated The SIMS intellectual propety, including The SIMS 2 Store. Members of this forum have posted customized contents, including fixes of the bugs that EA has included in their The SIMS content, of The SIMS but not for commericial purpose shall never be considered to be infringing on EA's intellectual property rights.

I am not a moderator or the owner here in More Awesome Than You and I am not writing on behave of any of them. But you better get to know more about EA's policy about The SIMS in the past, the player community of The SIMS and the web before issuing that letter to More Awesome Than You.
When EA stated the EA TOOLS END USER LICENSE, they are indeed signing a contract about what to offer to The SIM players when these players come to make the offer of buying the game. When EA suddenly changed the EA TOOLS END USER LICENSE, it is indeed EA themselves breaking the law. And the all The SIM players reserve the rights to claim their damages through any legal procedure.

Nononono, the one I wanna fix is the Asian Fusion window from Store. Not the OpenMe Window.

I still believe the files we linked to here are different to those offered by the Store! Theirs have glitches but ours haven't. Maybe just like someone mentioned early, we just add in the declaimer that thoes links are only for people who have owned the properties already and are willing to fix those stupid glitches that EAxis brought to them. If under that circumstance those EAxis jackasses still bother us, then does that mean Sim players can no longer make any custom contents based on stuff made by EAxis? Does that mean even a recolor of their* objects is illegal? WTF... Sims 3 gotta suck if that's the case! To be frank, I have no interest in Sims 3 at all, thanks to those uglier Sims in Sims 3, EAxis's intervention of my collecting of exclusive stuff and also those "only-3-installations" or SecuRom! BTW, anyone thinks sims in Sims 3 are way uglier than Sims in Sims 2? 

Now I am wondering what will happen when Store come out with new contents next month. They will definitely be milking the Store even after Sims 3 has been released. I really hate that when I fail to find the exclusives I want. I have failed to find the Elle Woods NPC for Sims 1 Superstar. Now they are telling me I will not have those Store exclusives for Sims 2 (I am outside US or Canada). Once, I really enjoyed completing stuff for Sims provided that I would find them in the end. If now it is for sure no matter how hard I have been trying, I won't find what I am lookind for, I would rather not play Sims anymore. Since 2000, I have been paying for every genuie copy of Sims 1 and Sims 2 franchises. Alright, EAxis, you are losing me as your customers for Sims 3,4,5..., and I believe there are many like me who will be making such a judicious decision too (and indeed I have also given up to play many other EA games like Need For Speed, Medal of Honor... because of SecuRom)

I looked into the way MaryLou fixed the OpenMe Window and found that it has something to do with the GMDC and GMND, i.e. the mesh of the windows, which I completely have no idea how to modify. Anyone good at that would not mind looking into this problem here

The Asian Fusion Window from The Sims 2 Store
And luckily Havelock you are around. Do you remember you fixed those Life Stories Rug before? I guess one of the M&G rug has the same problem too.

Will there be a fix for M&G's rug?

Is there something I have to do with the Lighting (Spot Light) or the Light Override? Thx for telling.

This can be easily fixed using SimPE to copy the catalogue description from English to UKEnglish.
BTW. Are there any more inconsistency incatalogue description

Excuse me, am I missing something? Why do those lamps need to be fixed?

Is there an update for AL yet?

I guess it'd be better to have Czech-speaking people to contact them. I tried contacting XZONE and some other Czech users at TheSims2.ea.com in English but so far none has replied me. Maybe they don't feel like sharing the contents, maybe they dun have the bench or maybe they dun understand English.....

We really need someone who can speak Czech to help.

You guys are awesome! The collection is finally complete. Thx to all contributors and all the "problem-fixers"!!! 

Do you mean all the M&G hairstyles have become missing or just some of them? 

Yo Jaldeer, I can't find the other two broken packages. Would you please help find it out and tell us what they are here?

The following are already known to be broken
ambodyvestedjacket_purple.package - nicklovesllamas
ambodyvestedjacket_blue.package - nicklovesllamas

Nicklovesllama, it seems that these two files are broken. Would you mind redownloading them with EA Download Manager and then upload them again?
And Knightguy please update the list of the 1st page to indicate that these files should be updated. Thank you all and happy Simming!

We haven't even completed the collection. Be patient!

*Contributers, please redownload the broken files. Much appreciated!*

Actually those broken items can be redownloaded by EA Download Manager....(in case the files are only broken due to some problems encountered during the dowload; if not, that means EAxis created broken .package files and in that case the broken files cannot be fixed unless EAxis upload the updated ones)

Method 1
Now, go to C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition and cut and paste "uContent.xml" somewhere else....
Open the EA Download Manager... Not finding the uContent.xml file, EA Download Manager will automatically download everything you have paid for at The Sims 2 Store.
Then you go to C:\Users\Vic\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Downloads and then "Objects" or "Skins" and you will find the .package files.
Upload those files that you think used to be broken previously.
Run the game and those newly-downloaded non-broken .package files will be incoporated into SCObjects.package and SCSkins.package automatically and you should find them showing up in game.

Method 2 *Faster*
Every step for Method 2 is the same as that in Method 1, except:
Do NOT move "uContent.xml" unless you will redownload everything from Store that you have paid for. If you have paid for say 100 items, Download Manager will start to download all the 100 items when you run it next time. This could be time consuming!
So now, instead, we open "uContent.xml" with and edit it with WordPad or NotePad or Word.
Find the item that you think is broken and remove its whole line. Of cox, before editing the xml file, I strongly recommend you back up the original copy first..
After the editing, run Download Manager and follow those steps to find the relevant .package files as mentioned in method 1.


So, we people can save money from buying something that have been bought. Hope this help.

PS. forgot to mention one thing. I guess some of the files are broken just coz they weren't uploaded properly. Would someone please find out all those broken or empty packages and make a list here so that we can contact the original uploader ASAP?? Once again, thank you all who contributed!

Nooo! That's not the truth here . If you put it that way, one day those Maxoid Donkeys will come to compell us to remove all the Store items!!!
The reason you can find Store items here is we are fixing those problematic stuff EAxis created. Our versions are different from theirs. Coz we are MORE AWESOME!

Kaspersky for sure.... Seldom fails people... Always able to remove virus (if not, go to Safe Mode)... Powerful firewall! Easy to use!
Although these sound like some commercial puff stuff, I really like Kaspersky!

I dun understand.. Why should those be re-downloaded? empty package? broken link? Who posted that before and on which post?  *so many questions*

Does anyone know if the CS one and the BV one shares the same GUID? I really hope so as this can mean the item can still show up in those families who have bought it even after I have deleted the custom .package I created.

OK. Checked, same GUID.

Thx for trying to help. But the code let us download something we already have.
Just wonder if it is possible to use Java Script to test the code for the bench as it should be XYGMANXY, X is a number and Y is a letter, the two numbers may not be the same, neither may the two letters.

There is a list on the 1st page... Post #5 or #6. Hope this helps

You can still have them shown in the game even if you don't have The Sims 2 Store installed. Simply put them under Downloads folder under MyDocuments(Documents for Vista)\EA Games\The Sims 2

However, you may not have skins showing up in CAS if you have any game versions before Apartment Life unless you use SimPE to modify those skins so that they bear the "version info" of original Sims 2 game.

I agree with you. Actually I am from Hong Kong and I can tell who is Japanese, who is Korean, who is mainland Chinese, who is Hong Konger and who is Taiwanese correctly by just a glance most of the time.

And those playable sims, such as the Goth family? They are the same... I just added those Chinese face templates after I have installed and been running my UK English version of the game for years.
But I guess even the newly-installed Traditional Chinese version of the game will have the same Maxis playable sims as those bundles only alter face templates but nothing else.

Shown above is an object I extracted from Sims Castaway Stories long ago. But last night, when I checked out the Katy Perry Hot N Cold Sims Version MTV, I found this object in the video. I thought this object was not supposed to be in original Sims 2 games. It was supposed to be exclusive in Castaway. In Castaway, this object can be found by combing the sandy ground. But now, I wonder if this is a collectable item in Sims 2 Seasons or Bon Voyage or whatsoever. So if anyone has seen this in Sims 2 series (not stories series) without downloading or creating a custom content of it, please let me know. Thx!!!
