Thanks, yes, I know those but I am looking for the official guides.

I googled and used several torrent search sites but was not able to find reliable DLs of any Sims Prima Guide after LN (which I already have besides base game, WA and AM).
Has anybody the other guides as pdf?

Your ccmerge fix in DCBackup folder or Awesomemod didn't fix it but ccmerge fix in overrides did it! Thanks again. 

Thanks for your quick answer. I deleted the "ContentPatch" folder and so the Store patch installed again. Unfortunately the spellbook was still not fixed --> same error (Sims jumping back when comleting learning a spell).
I should mention I have the store stuff as extracted non-decrapped package files.
What am I doing wrong?

I have a problem:
I did't play Sims for some months but with the new expansion I returned to the game and installed the addon with all CC/mods removed (also the spellbook and your fix, which worked until then without problems). I also installed the Store patch. After that I put back all my CC. Now my Sims jump back when completing learning a spell from the spellbook, with and without your recent release of your StoreFix. With the "old" version of your StoreFix (I kept it as backup) the spellbook workes fine.
I guess the problem is that I applied the Store patch before I put the CC (in particular the spellbook) back in the mod-folder?

I searched/googled but there seems to be no way to rerun the Store patch manually to update the spellbook. So I am rather clueless what to do...

I tried the (then cancelled) interaction with a Sim standing directly beside the mailbox, but not yet with a Sim beside a chair/table. I'll try that next time I load up the game.


May be the fact that there was no wedding party the reason behind it? I just made an "instant-wedding" somewhere in the middle of the street, so there were no guests = no presents? 

With the newest Test-version of AM there is a bug with the "write thank-you-card" (playing the game in German, I don't know the exact English expression, sorry  ) at the mailbox after a wedding. The action is immediately cancelled. Without AM the Sim sits down at a table and writes the card.

Also, before the option to write that card appears at the mailbox, the Sim can take out a present box (=wedding present), but nothing new is added to the inventory and no message appears in the upper right corner. I am not sure if this is also a bug (or a feature  ).

DLed and tested -> everything's working fine. Great job!
Thanks alot for your effort and for sharing. 

I have exclusively the store items uploaded by Moryrie (those in 9 big package files). I assumed they are already decrapified...?

@Howabominable:I put your collections in my game and the collection folders DO appear, but most of them are empty and some contain only a fence and/or fireplace.
Maybe some language-dependent issue for I play the game in German?

There is a problem with the leaf pile bed. Having the ACR-Hack installed I always get an error message ("too many iterations") when the leaf pile bed is on the lot an an adult sim (I testet it only with an adult an a child) clicks on another adult. Probably some whoohoo-check?
No problem with any of the other CS beds.

Errorlog attached.

I discovered another inconsistency in the German telephone menu:
"Anrufen...Vermieter...Kakerlaken melden" (report cockroaches to the landlord) is correctly in the normal "Call..." menu but "Anrufen ...Vermieter ...Reparatur anfragen" (ask landlord for repair) again has two times an incorrectly inserted space and thus appears as an extra menu option.

So if you get to fix that along with the other mentioned errors I really will adore you for the rest of my life.   

Thanx, thanx, THANX!!

The messed up pie menues in German always annoyed me to death.
But one question: is the fix compatible with the official patch? The magic cauldron was updated so it has the new "Weiter (...) herstellen" (Continue crafting (...)).


I noticed even more errors in several pie menues in the German language, I will list them here in the case you have the spare time to fix them 

- the self-interaction "Unterhalten...Breakdance vorführen/Breakdance für Trinkgeld vorführen" (Entertain...Perform breakdance in English ?) is not in the same menu with "Unterhalten...Rappen" oder "Unterhalten...Feuertanz aufführen" (Rap and Firedance) due to an additional space right before the three dots

- the new kiss in AL ("Küssen...Abknutschen") (suck face) is not in the same menu with all the other kiss-interactions (again additional space thing)

- the "buy potions"-option in the matchpaker menu is messed up: if you choose the number of potions you want to buy they are spread across different menues (hm, is this comprehensive?)

With this fix the dating presents outside an apartment are pickable, but the genie lamp from that gypsy woman is not.
Is there a chance that this will be included in future updates?

Same problem here. No Mummy "hair" at all. 

Something is wrong with that upload. Everytime I try to download it I get a file with 0 kb!
Could you try to upload it once more, please?

And btw thanx for sharing with us. 

I ran the game (Belladonna Cove) in windowed mode and checked the neighborhoods/E001/characters directory:
every time my Sim went from one comm-lot to another 2 new character files were created. And upon returning home, 1 additional was created.
I already have more 520 files in the character directory  --  without any CAS Sims or subhoods!


This is far more than "what is necessary to populate your apartment buildings" I think?

I play the game with a variety of hacks from the FT-directory plus the NoNPCrevert from MTS2 and everything works fine. 

I cannot confirm somthing like this. My Sim produces several "Topflappen" (being German I do not know the translation) in a row without interrupt.

I noticed that too. I vaguely suppose that only the first minutes sewing the Sims get talent points. Maybe stopping after some minutes and restarting sewing speeds up the accumulation of points? 

Never encountered that phenomenon. Guess, it must be a conflict with some hack or other game modification... 


This happend already before FT. Fortunately those leaves dissolve after some time.

Ok, that must be really annoying.


I read in another forum that the Insimenator is responsible for this bug. Never using the Insim., I cannot prove whether this is true.


Sorry to say, but it was never fixed by EAxis, not even with the 2nd patch. 

I have a problem with the converted craft bench:
my game is installed in German and when I click the bench I only get the options of the normal toy bench. The new things that came with Castaway do not appear in the menu. 
Also no robot-related options.

Could you check this?
