Use .packages for all content except counters. You could install the worlds decrapified to avoid getting some major issues with lots not showing up properly and if dupes bother you, too bad, the only way to get it to work properly is to have it installed and have those dupes.

I have not had any issues with the .package files, except if a counter is in the set, which I install so using CAS on them works.

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Good evening to you all. This is my first post, so I'll try to be succinct.

I have all expansion packs up to and including Master Suite (updated to 11.0.84.014.017). Most of the .sims3pack downloads I have are from either icantbebothered or jeromycraig. (As an aside, thank you to both as it is nice to have these packs without having to give my credit card number to EA.)

After decrappifying the packs and installing, the items show up in the installed list as well as in the game. I am not noticing any glitches or problems with them during play. The next time I load up the game, the launcher says that the only .sims3pack items installed are the ones I used my free points to purchase or are the free ones given away as bonuses. Even the worlds disappear from the installed list.

I have tried several different attempts to repair this problem including deleting the DCBackup and DCCache folders, followed by re-installing the objects. I even went so far as today completely uninstalling the game, deleting the entire The Sims 3 folder from the Documents folder. Afterwards, I fully re-installed the game and the objects, but still no luck.

I was curious as to whether the update that was done recently where the game tries to sell stuff from the store might be interfering with my installed list. I blocked the EA programs from dialing home with my router as was suggested on the forum, as well as installing the .sims3pack in bunches of no greater than 50. Neither of those worked. Any other ideas?

I use decrapified sims3packs, and I have items missing from the installed list, but they are still present in the game. This has been the case for quite some time, not just since the latest patch.

This has always been my case with the launcher, as long as it tells you that it installed and you get the icon thingy you should be fine. Then again, you aren't so speshul and tardly that you didn't even bother to actually check in game as to whether or not the items were in fact still there before posting, right?

Definitely speshul, but not entirely. The reason it got my attention was the disappearing worlds. My sim is living in Hidden Springs, but when the world disappeared, I couldn't load the save game. I did try again using the base world with everything installed and showing the icon. The next time it loaded, I got the error warning me that some items were not available when I tried to start the save game. I made another sim then and found that all the items in the game excepting purchased items from the store and expansion items were gone. Now THAT is very tardly. I do believe the game is actually checking my purchases against the store and blocking them from being used.

I am currently reading up on how to use packages as I've never dealt with them before.

Oniichanaino, are you perhaps connecting to Origin and allowing it to connect? Also are you using AwesomeMod? AM stops a lot of the 'connection' crap that EA throws to see what you are doing in game etc. I have installed a lot using the launcher and sims3packs, but never had the issue you have explained, so perhaps it involves Origin, and the other part that AM disables (EA checking your game etc).

Witch confirmed the fruit worked using the package file. <- Skadi.... I'm sorry to say that it doesn't work for me. My sims stand by the tree and do nothing.

Patch 1.29 and awesomemod no other mods.

Any ideas?

Sorry to be such a burden

The package works IN ADDITION to decrapping and installing the sims3pack. Just in case people are thinking the package works all by itself.

You have to do both. It's getting a bit trickier to get this stuff working.

Has anyone else had a problem getting Lunar Lakes to work in their game? I've downloaded the Sims3 pack file from Skadi's post but can't see the new neighborhood in my game. I thought any neighborhood file had to be a package file to place it in the Library folder. I got Barnacle Bay to work by placing the package file in the Installed Worlds file. Does Lunar Lakes work for everyone as a Sims3 pack file placed in the Library folder?

I really, really hope you are just having a brain fart moment.

Kissingtoast: In my files, the package files appear as blank icons with the title of the file on them. The Sims3 pack files appear as the blue w/the green plumbob and the title. So they are two entirely different types of files and function differently as well. I tried placing the Sims3 pack file in my Library folder but could not see Lunar Lakes in my game.

I mentioned Barnacle Bay as a means of showing that while it is a package file, it also has a different suffix being a world file and so it resides in the Installed Worlds folder. I haven't had any problems w/different neighborhoods appearing before trying to install Lunar Lakes.

 Huh  I think you need to re-read what you have posted because your answer is in that as to why Lunar Lakes is not showing up.

Now all we need are the Katy Perry inspired items then we have all the "perks" that come with The Sims 3 Showtime. It's an additional sims3pack I bet.

Of course we need the actual game too.

Is that the one available on PB (it was listed as the Katy Perry collectors edition)? I saw it last night, but it was downloading at 0.3kb/s so I gave up.

How so? I read the comments and it stated installing it was a pain in the arse, but others have claimed it's working, there is another release out on a different site, but there is 0 comments and the speed was slow as too, the files were also in .rar format, and typically RELOADED don't do that.

I also keep the archive files in case I want to install it in the future if I uninstall it, and a proper release is the best way of having that occur. Not in a hurry either because Mass Effect 3 was "released".

Origin preorder radio works without Showtime installed. I extracted the files, and the radio shows up, the lot shows up, but it's not placable. The DJ booth probably can't show up because it needs the actual other booths in the game too. Maybe.

I have a question for you, I saw you uploaded some of the pre-order items, are those the items gained from the Katy Perry version? Or are items in there entirely different? The Katy Perry version was not made available in Australia (least where I live it wasn't).

The Katy Perry edition is a seperate sims3pack file. Preorder radio is origin preorder, limited edition (not the same as Katy Perry) is the ultimate venue, and the registration reward is the DJ booth. We're just missing the final piece of the incentives.
