Kukuchka,you could try reading through The TS3 Store: post your questions, updates, and tech help here,thread to see if any of the CC you want is on there.

 Or you could search for what you want,if you can't be arsed reading through the thread I mentioned.

OK, just this once, I'll post how to make your own .dbc files. I'll also add this to the first post.

How to make .dbc files in Windoze XP

1) Download the Windows TS3 recompressor

2) Paste this code in a textfile.
Code:
for /R %%i in (*.sims3pack) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
for /R %%i in (*.package) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
for /R %%i in (*.nhd) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
for /R %%i in (*.sim) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
for /R %%i in (*.dbc) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
@pause
Posted by Scaenicus here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15129.msg523441.html#msg523441

3) Save the text file in the same folder as the recompressor files, call it s3rcBatch.cmd

4) Put all the sims3pack files in the Downloads folder, then copy in the three files; decrapify.exe, s3rc.exe, s3rcBatch.cmd. Double-click the s3rcBatch.cmd file and wait. When it's finished, delete the three files you put in the folder.

5) Run the latest launcher you have, currently HELS for me. Let it install sims3packs as normal. When it has finished, take a look in your C:\Documents and Settings\witch\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\DCCache folder and voilą, there are the .dbc files, as you might expect.

6) You can delete the sims3pack files at this point if you wish. Unless you haven't backed them up of course.  Roll Eyes I usually delete the DCBackup files as well.

7) New content can be added later, as long as you have decrapified and recompressed the sims3packs before using the launcher.

Itz_kukuchka ,no problem. 

I take it you are having problems with CC showing in your game?  You could try uninstalling the sims 3 and all expansion packs,installing the framework from this website. http://sublimesims.net/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=01cf311b9b35db0eae0cc94f5a08a3ba&topic=1748.0.   Search for decrapifie and use Delphy's monkey installer to install your CC,you can find this over at mod the sims.

Other than that I would suggest making your own .dbc files,instructions in Witch' post.

@itz_kukuchka - Use your SHIFT key and go easy on those full-stops - one at a time will do - if you don't want your lips ripped off.

No idea, sorry. I just used the HELS launcher yesterday to install all the new content. It worked fine. Are you fully patched?

Method works a lot better than other ones. Cuts down the loading time in half, too.
Thanks

Cheers for that, I'm glad it's working. I find the .dbc files work way better than the package files, like you say, everything works much quicker.

I'm not sure about one of the kitchen islands in the recent (ultra?) pack. Apparently that isn't showing up for people, I haven't checked my game yet.

Although Pescado does not like thanks, I should point out that my method works only because Pescado has coded the decrapify.exe and the s3rc.exe files to re-work the sims3packs, so they install as they should. I just follow the instructions myself.

No. Don't touch AwesomeMod. Keep your bacteria infested, sticky candy covered little mitts AWAY from the AM. It's not for you.

If you would have read through the thread.. or even a few posts above yours.. you would've seen that YOU DO NOT NEED AM to get .dbc's to work. .dbc files are the files that the game (the launcher) creates when you install things  that are in Sims3pack format.

I'm having a problem with Riverview in HELS version 3.2.8. Sims 3 and WA are also updated. I copied the Riverview.world file to my GameData/Shared/NonPacked/Worlds folder next to Sunset Valley.world. It is not installed in any other folder. In game, there is no description for the town and all of the houses are named incorrectly. Pictures follow:  http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q130/Lyrishima/Riverview_error2.png

EDIT: I'm not having any problem viewing the dbc content or using AwesomeMod.
