I have base game only and have been happily using this tool for speeding up loading and fixing some (store) files for use with the launcher. I noticed the game was getting a little slow, so I ran all my CC through it and now the game will not load unless I take CC folder out. The only thing which changed between my last use and this use is that I installed the latest base game patch. Okay, I searched and saw that you can do s3rc -d to undo what was done. I put s3rc file in one of my download subfiles to test if they would be fixed. I used s3rc -d *.package and got error message "could not stat" - I saw a thread in which Mr. Pescado said you could do *.package. So I tried it with just one file and got no error message. Like a dummy, I did not back up my CC before compressing because it had worked like a dream before. So, why will it not process more than one file at time? Why will it not accept *.package?
Flame me, do your worst, just tell me how to undo what I've done without having to do 3k+ files one by one.
Assuming you are using a Windows machine, do the following...
1. MAKE A BACKUP!
2. Open a command prompt window.
3. Use the CD command to navigate to wherever your packages are located.
4. Run the following command (including the quotes)...
for %f in (*.package) do s3rc -d "%f"
5. Test The Sims 3 - if it runs, MAKE ANOTHER BACKUP!
Edited to a command syntax that should allow for package file names with spaces in them.
