His point was that he'll get to it when he's good and ready and no amount of begging will make it happen faster unless you do it yourself. Be patient.

Yeah, of course it can "handle" TS3. Read conversations between members here, however, and it is obvious that your specs play a major role in how well the Launcher functions. My computer's specs exceed those of your own in several respects and it still can't handle Launcher installations as well as some better machines can; ask Witch. The Launcher is shit and simply does not work as well as you seem to think it "should" unless you've got a really good machine.

And yeah, there's a reason why you're not supposed to download decrapified files. I don't *think* decrapifying them again will help if they were already decrapified using an outdated s3rc (correct me if I'm wrong, someone). Just download the raw files like everyone else. If we're misinterpreting and you *did* start with raw files, then PEBKAC still stands as the most likely issue. Make sure you're using the proper tools, and using them correctly. The instructions are right there.

Previous discussions on this topic indicate that higher end machines can and do install everything at once, and have no such limitations on the size of the resulting dbc's. The problem you're describing is the result of the limitations of your hardware (and, to a lesser degree, to a badly coded Launcher, which nevertheless works alright if your computer does not suck).

As for stuff not showing up in-game, sounds like you've got PEBKAC gumming up the decrapification process.

Click link, click button. Not really all that complicated. It worked fine for me earlier, also using Firefox, and I just tested it again without trouble. I can't tell you why it's not working for you, but the problem is definitely on your end.

Doesn't AM's droptrait command work?

It depends on your computer's specs. Nobody here can tell you what your computer is capable of.

This is a known issue and getting a new copy won't help. Clara made a standalone fix. KT's store fixes package includes one as well.

Because inappropriate relationships are only inappropriate if they happen in public, amirite?

Just don't let teen Sims dabble outside of their age set, if you don't like it, or age your teen up and get on with it. The alternative is to suck it up and get a different mod that suits your 12-diddling intentions.

As for the "blatant sexism," don't you think it might have something to do with the age of the initiator and not the sex? I don't use adult/teen romantic interactions so I don't know what the normal behavior is with AM, but I would assume that a mod with anti-pedo features would probably find a romantic interaction initiated by an adult, toward a 12, particularly abhorrent.

I have a ridiculous number of mods combined into two packages, one in Overrides and the other in Packages. Around half of those are basic things like texture replacements, and the other half is made up of small-scale XML tuning mods, scripting mods, and a few large-scale mods like AM and much of the NRaas suite. So far I haven't had any trouble with combining them but I keep unmerged copies of everything on a flash drive, just in case, and I always scan them with the Dashboard before merging them.

The sort of mods you're describing would most likely be fine merged, but you can always keep an unmerged backup.

The casino is 0x1daa41b84d333ba7494cccbce03fb921 and should be placed in your Library folder. The rest of the files are the individual items from the set and can be placed in Packages, if that's how you want to install them. I've never had any issues installing Store lots as decrapified Sims3Packs, though.

For future reference, it's really easy to open the individual files with s3pe to see what they are.

Don't accuse the site owners of not responding until yesterday just because you didn't notice. They've repeatedly responded to posts regarding the file's absence. The comments aren't dated but having posted there myself, on this very topic, I am 100% positive that the responses were posted within days of the file being withdrawn.

As jezzer pointed out, it's even mentioned in the description of the set.

Just the config? You don't mention whether or not you have AwesomeMod itself. That would probably help.

Why can't it be both?

Just follow the MTS directions, as Eeyore advised. They're retard-proof.

I doubt such a thing exists, since it's a lot faster to install a ripped disc than to clone all the content. Just google the instructions. It isn't much more difficult than learning how to install downloads, if at all, so if you figured out how to use CC you should have no trouble.

There's a great deal of legitimate criticism regarding the Launcher, but I wholeheartedly disagree that the method described by Anach is "impossible" or that it would "take days" to set up. I've used extracted/merged store packages in the past and found it perfectly acceptable at the time (except for the misbehaving counters and sectionals), but chose to switch back to decrapified Sims3Packs as a method of keeping EA content and third party CC apart. I recently did a ground-up install of all the EP's/SP's and store content and although it took the better part of an afternoon, the vast majority of that was installing the game itself. The Store stuff only took about an hour. I did find that the Launcher started "skipping" files when I installed too many at a time (because, as you noted, it is a fucking piece of shit); when I started installing things in 200mb chunks, a number I chose rather arbitrarily because it's just a bit smaller than the average file in my DCCache, it was smooth sailing.

Read the thread, you insufferable idiot. Read the very first post from beginning to end. All those scary squiggly lines? Those are "letters" and they come together to form "words," some of which, when properly divined, contain the solution you seek.

For fuck's sake.

If you're using packages, the answer is in the posts that immediately follow the OP. All mods need to be in a location that's at a higher priority level than the files they modify.


You didn't have to buy anything. I got all my Store stuff and fixes here and everything works for me. As you were already told:


If something is fail, get one that isn't. I'm not sure how much clearer the answer can get.

The Launcher sucks and sometimes fails to put lots into the library. As jezzer and KT stated, you already have the file so you don't need anyone to upload it.

Move your .ebc files out of DCCache. Reinstall the lot, making sure a new lot package appears in your Library folder. Then move the original .ebc files back into DCCache, allowing them to overwrite the new one.

Beautiful house, pyry. It has a very impressive facade.


You may be referring to the note on stacked stairs mentioned here.

I don't understand the problem. You said you already found invisible clothing on SexySims2. If the categories aren't set as you want them, changing that takes all of 10 seconds.

What right do you have to tell him what he "needs to realize," exactly? Your computer and your game are your own, and their setup is unique. If he needs to be more understanding about you asking for help in a scenario that he cannot duplicate, you most certainly need to be more understanding about the fact that he's a modder and not a psychic.

There is a big difference between reporting bugs or asking for help, and barging into someone else's territory and demanding that they fix something when there is no solid evidence, as far as they can see, that it is even broken. If you want people to help you, consider the effect of how you speak to them.

For what it's worth, the mod works fine in my game, too.

The best way to find out would be to try (hint: yes, there's a way, and it's incredibly easy). I'm not really sure what other information you're looking for here, since you already described the method yourself. Just open the mod and compare the values to the original ones, then tweak the values you want to be closer to the default until you get to a balance that you like. Or is there something hampering the process that you have not disclosed?

Or, you could do a few minutes of troubleshooting and figure it out for yourself.

The same way you install anything else.

The package installation instructions at MTS are as idiot-proof as they can possibly be.
