THANKS THIS IS GREAT

The other problem with that method is how every name is displayed. They look something like like: Game/TS3/Worlds/Riverview/Sims/Don /Game/TS3/Worlds/Riverview/Sims/Lothlario.

Looks like that for every sim, lot, ect. Which is why decrapifying is better if you want the world instead of just the special stuff in the world. But, there's other quirks with decrapifying that one might prefer package format for. Such as: If you share decorated lots/sims. If you use crapified content, everyone can use your stuff. People who decrapify, just decrapify your files. If you use decrapified stuff, you can't share with anyone who doesn't also use decrapified content. This is probably why some MTS2 sims were pulled a while ago. Also. Decrapified stuff packages itself with your lots, which makes lot sizes larger than needed, and can result in duplicated content.

Unless there's a reverse decrapify method I'm unaware of anyway.

So what are the actual steps for decrapifiying, or when your saving the file do you save it as a sims3pack instead of .package coming from s3pe?

That's a moot point for me. I don't share sims or lots or anything like that. I have no interest in doing so. I play the game so that I can spend time in a pointless and mindless manner for a little while before getting back into the tediousness of RL.

er, what?

Decrapify is simple. Download file. Compress file. Decrapify file. Install file. Continue repeating last 3 steps until it works.

Other method is: Download file. Compress file. Extract file. Figure out what package is what. Drop world file in with Sunset Valley after changing it to .world. Merge other packages with whatever store packages you already have.

2nd method always works the first time in my experience, unless you merge things wrong. But it requires knowledge of S3PE, which might stump the lazy, or the incompetent.

EDIT

(After compressor) ok I found out I was completely using the wrong tool for decrapifiy, but when I use decrapifiy.exe do I just put the sims3pack in the folder with it and then run it?

So, is there any other solution for this BB problem than trying and trying or playing with strange named sims and lots?

Decrapify it properly, then double click it, the in game installer will install, then play the game. It's not hard. And just to shut you up I wrote a tutorial for a different forum HERE. Now remember, don't fuck it up and you might have to sign up to see it.

Follow instructions there. If you are still having trouble with the .world file showing up, then take the world file from the InstalledWorlds(even if it isn't showing up it is probable that it did install), go into your Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds and drop the .world file in there.

Maybe this will make SOME of the whiners shut up and go away.

Have you updated your decrapifier? Hmm? Well, have you?

Opps. Oh, well don't expect much better than that from me. I keep forgetting to check whenever EA updates the store and haven't been able to spend any points.

Well we do still need the 2 new bundle sets but how to get them is the Q lol, I think a person can get them without a refer but no idea if you also get the points free. I do wonder if we will get another bundle gifts for october or if this one will count as the bundle gifts for october.

How it works is that someone with a registered account (A) gives a referral link to another person with a registered account (B) who has never bought SimPoints before. B then buys a point bundle of $10 (to get the Quarterback/Cheerleader set) or $20 (to get the Divalicious set) and the set shows up in both A and B's account histories to download. A also gets a bonus of 100 SimPoints (for the $10 bundle) or 300 SimPoints (for the $20 bundle). Then A has to refer another person who has never bought SimPoints in order to get the other set. It's really quite ridiculous.

I'm probably just an idiot, but Barnacle Bay's icon isn't showing up for me in the launcher. I always decrapify before I move it to the downloads folder. Anyway, whenever any item doesn't show up, there is always an error when I download and it says it failed to install, and it says to be sure that the game is up to date. I know an outdated game isn't my problem because it isn't outdated..

Does anybody know what causes this iconlessness? It isn't blank completely, but it does show a box. I'm not sure how to get rid of that, or how to get Barnacle to work in my game. I'm kind of pissed because I read that the Caliente sisters would be in the new neighborhood, so it was probably worth checking out. I'm probably a disgrace when it comes to pirating, but I do have my share of experiences and I have read up about a lot (such as decrapifying) on MATY.

By "icon", do you mean "thumbnail"?

If so, sometimes decrapifying will keep the thumbnail from displaying in the launcher.  If Barnacle Bay shows up on your main menu as an available neighborhood to play, it's installed correctly, regardless of what the launcher might be doing.

I do. But my problem is that I can't get it to install without the thumbnail.. for whatever reason. I guess you don't need me to tell you the launcher is gay, but it is.



I have a feeling this one is going to give me a really hard time. Any suggestions?

Try decrapifying it again. Make sure you are decrapifying properly. It does work.

You do have to be patched all the way up to the most recent patch before you can install BB.  You are patched, right?
