Some people find the individual counters useful at least.

^Could you tell us which items you received? I'm not at my sims computer at the moment, but I probably have just enough points to pick up the other items and can post them when I get home in a couple hours.

I downloaded it + put into Downloads folder + run Launcher + I see this description: Jazz Age Living Room + Jazz Age Wear

So, it's combinatination of Jazz Age Set + Jazz Age Living Room.

I hope that I helped with this. Smiley

Well that's sad. The store's down, so I can't see how crappy the new stuff is.

The Jazz Age stuff is really nice, but man, that's one ugly-ass kitchen.  It looks like something Parsimonious would come up with after taking a hit of acid.

See, Spockblock was right. Now you have a new pet and we expect you to keep it fed, watered and to clean up after it. Congratulations

As long as they wont follow me around the house like a little lost sheep and that they must be house trained. Cheesy

Binkles,did you try seeing if it turned up when you played your game?   Going by your post I doubt you did. Roll Eyes

I have tried it... and no sign of the santa hats Sad

The...  Exchange?

Okay, I can overlook people who still like the Launcher, but I have to put my foot down over suggesting using the Exchange.  BURN THE HERETIC!

Ok.  I've armed my catapult with flammable tarpainted boulders and am ready to light them and let fly at EA.  Why?
IN June 2010, Store downloads broke on Windows 7 32 bit - I can't download from the store.  ****GRRRRRR****  I had a bunch of simpoints simpoints and 'purchased' stuff but it won't download to my game's computer. The download pretends to start, goes through the motions of downloading, creates a boatload of unuseable TMP files in the download directory and then fails, directing me to "See Log for details" - Said invisible log is hidden in an unknown location. 

Yea, I wasted hours going through all EA's steps of uninstalling the game, removing remnants from the registry, reinstalling TS3, to no avail.  The game works fine - Can't download the junk I bought.

Last November, I replaced my old drive with a new 2TB drive, format, new partition and completely installed everything from scratch and behold!  Store downloads worked again!  I downloaded a bunch of junk that was previously purchased and it worked! So I was happy for about a month. 

I was working on some base game buildings for a group CAW project at MTS and used the Anygame starter 3 so the buildings would be base game compatible and later, after stoopeedly spending $10 at the store to get some washing machines, I found that the ability to download from the store broke AGAIN!  *grrr*

I complained to EA again,  went through the uninstall/reinstall routine again, and it still failed.  I REFUSE to reformat my drive just to get rid of borked EADM download malfuntioning software. SO I demanded my $30 simpoints back and they said no.  We'll give you a coupon to buy stuff at the store.  *grrrrr*

So, thoroughly ticked off, I used my base game and installed that at work on my Windows 7 64bit workstation during lunch and was able to download my store junk.  I put that on a jump drive, took it home but the stoopeed launcher won't install it in the game.  It goes through the motions, but the content refuses to appear in the game.

So  I have  a bunch of SIms3packs, that I stoopeedly paid for, but which refuse to install on my game's computer.   How do I get these things to install?

Thank you for useful answers..  All others commenting on bad grammer/English, lack of ability to use search properly will be promptly targeted with flaming tarry boulders.

I only put up the link for those who convert the store crap to package. It was the only way to grab the lot without the rest of the set items. Since it didn't work when converted to package, there's no other choice but to use the launcher to install it.

True, but I have been lurking and digging for the answer to this problem and have seen lots of newbies get chewed up for asking questions to which there is an answer somewhere in the bowels of Trogdor but to which I have not found the posting.  I dunno if that was good enough grammer for some here..   I was just prepping.   and I spent time looking for that fiery battlefield!    Grin

p.s.  will share the junk if anyone needs it.

No, I suspect you just don't like the answer. Decrapify fixes broken sims3packs, but they can't be shared. It's also not for idiots, because it will break your game if you don't bother to read.

It's probably an issue with EADM. Try uninstalling, deleting registry keys, restart the computer and then do a fresh reinstall using your latest bought CD, and then update it if necessary. If it's any consolation, at the moment, after a fresh reinstall and no CC, the launcher works on my computer only if I have EADM open first, it otherwise crashes. I had issues before where I couldn't even download patches or download/upload things to the exchange or download the free things from the store if I installed any of the new EP patches that updated the game without having installed the EP as well. The download/upload issue would usually be solved after installing a new EP/SP.

That's very common with sims3packs. EA has less idea how their code works than some modders. Quite a few modders.

If you tried to install the sims3pack, don't. Use a package. There's one available in this very thread, or, if you're up to it, run the sims3pack through Delphy's Sims 3 Pack Multi-Extracter. It's available at Mod The Sims.

If you're going to be using mods or custom content at all (including EA store content) it will serve you well to learn how the game works and how to use some basic tools. Google, read, google, read, google, read.

The download/upload issue would usually be solved after installing a new EP/SP.  

Thanks. I've always thought EADM/anti-pirate crapola was the cause--and I have a legal, registered copy of the game. I have all EPs and SPs. I have uninstalled TS3, deleted the registry keys, rebooted, and looked at the registry again to make sure I got all of them.  I've reinstalled the game and patched them all - The thing that sucks in all this is the EADM always wants to download those huge EADM patches. I live out in the middle of nowhere on the back side of the Rockies and have satellite internet. It's terribly slow.  It kills my bandwidth to reinstall several times and get the same patches over and over again - But I've done that maybe 5 or 6 times trying to fix it. Unfortunately, I have to wait freaking 30 days for the bandwidth usage meter to roll off.  So I've used the computer at the university in town to download what I could. The patches work but not the store content.

The launcher does work for the older stuff I downloaded before the store downloads broke,  It refuses to download newer stuff.

Lacking the EP/SP is not the issue,  I have them all except the Outdoor Living SP.  I went to EA and downloaded their latest EADM and will see if their newer version fixes the store downloader.

I've also gone through MATY stuff today and downloaded the s3rc busted store pack installer....  And the info about securom.  I'll see what's borked there.  I think it's a borked security lockout because I have lots of CC in my game.

I will do the standard EADM uninstall, cleanup and reinstall, see if that works, if not,  I'll clear out the securom junk and see if the EADM corrects itself. Then I'll come back here and report what worked (if anything)  But it will probably be a few weeks because I live out in the sagebrush sea where only the rumors of high Speed internet are heard.

p.s. Sheeply thanks  ;0)
