I have tried these packages and I am still having problems with the rugs, the coffee table and the window? Only the curtain is fixed. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Are you sure that old versions aren't lurking somewhere in your Downloads folder? File names were changed in the new version.
I can't delete my old versions since I have Store installed and they will be incorporated into a package file called "SCObjects.package" under Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Packed\Objects ....
Maybe I explain a little bit more about how Store Edition works... EA requires you to download the EA Download Manager and then that manager will download The Sims Store Edition which acts just like a stuff pack. You have files just like those on your game disks... And then the manager runs the AutoRun.exe and install a new game called "The Sims 2 Store Edition". If you don't have FreeTime, you can actually play the game by running The Sims 2 Store Edition.... And inside the game, when you go for the credits, you will be able to find "The Sims 2 Store Edition" and you can also find the corresponding collections in Buy mode. I'm not sure if you've got the picture of how it's like or not. Intuitively speaking, The Sims 2 Store Edition is just a Stuff Pack but it is not completely installed unless you pay and download everything from the Store website!
Well, what I did with my store items downloaded here is to put them under
Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Downloads\Objects or
Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Downloads\Skins and then these downloads will be incorporated into "SCObjects.package" under
Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Packed\Objects or "SCSkins.package" under
Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\Packed\Skins and a list of downloaded items will be kept track of under a file called "uContent.xml" when I run the game (I guess it's the incorporation process that makes the new FT patch required). Actually, the download manager just does the same.... So, there is not such a folder known as "EA Store" under Drive:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins
But for the fixes I just got, I put them under the ordinary downloads folder. Hypothetically speaking, the files under downloads should override those under The Sims 2 Store Edition... So, I am confused whether the fixes are not overriding or I got the wrong files.
NB. Alriite, I'm now conducting another experiment to see if it will work for me, for any other users who have stupidly installed Store Edition like me....
Well, the experiement is like this:
1. the SCObjects.package will be removed
2. all the object files of the latest versions will be put under Drive:\Users\UserName\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Store Edition\
Downloads\Objects
3. the game will then be run
If it works out, a new "SCObjects.package" will be generated with the fixed versions incorporated into it.
