I've been able to install .Sims3Pack cc through the launcher just fine with 2.3. Just not the store stuff. But I was able to convert the new store items to .package files and those work fine. When there's a choice, I usually choose the .package format because it's easier to delete if needed, plus I have all my .package downloads really organized so I can find stuff really easy.

Problem with individual package files is the time it takes to load then all up, sims3pack puts all into a nice big file that reduces loading time.
Its true that package is great for a lot of things if you dont mind dealing with waiting for all of then being loaded up by the game.

I don't know how EA can justify a 4GB stuff pack. What the hell is even in there?
60 items, a couple of patterns, and patches, can't be anymore than 1~2GB.

I have the new patch without WA or the stuff pack, and all my .package files work perfectly fine, but there's a significant increase in loading save games/new games for me. The initial startup takes about the same time.

Again, the ARR'd copy is just the disk image of a DVD, always going to be 4.7 gb in size. EA just used a DVD when they probably could've used a CD. Of course, they're more flimsy and kind of out of date. The disk could also be bloated with old patches, as well.

A copy I found was about 1GB to download, and the directory for the stuffpack itself only takes up 266mb. Not sure if my .package files load or not, I gave up after 1 minute of loading, new patch/stuffpack has really screwed me over. |

An image file, regardless of whether it is a DVD or CD, would be relative in size to the actual data. A 10 MB file burned to a DVD would not create a 4.7 GB iso, nor an other form of an image. Something else is contained within that ViTALiTY release image, possibly previous patches, although they do not equate to the large size. |

It's the mac updates that are huge, that folder on the disk is 3.45 GB. Windows updates are 771 MB. The actual installed game folder is just 270 MB.

Everything operates normally here. Note that this version is an 01 region, although I had no difficulty installing it over an 02 region Base/WA. Keep this in mind for future patches, though.

Exactly, without the MAC updates there's just 1GB on the ISO. Without the Windows updates the ISO is just 320Mb.. \o/ I'm scared to install this... Don't want to crush anything in my game with the patches... |

And isn`t it great that all the stuff EA is releasing is packed with updates and patches, and not the content itself? HELS my ass, this one should be named "TS3 - We screwed up and you will pay for it" stuff pack. HELS? You know what, EA?  |

We must be gluttons for EA Punishment The good thing about having an on-going project that would be hurt by having new game objects available is that I'm barred from downloading right now. Cursing at myself for having to build on a 22x32 lot is preferable to cursing at the PtB because my game no worky. |

I'm still waiting on my download to finish. It's been stuck at like 96% for quite some time now because it's connected to 0/106 seeders. I guess it's not so bad because I'm planning on waiting on installing until I know for sure it's ok to install and will work with the mods I use.

EDIT: It does show in-game. Don't know about installing stuff, though.

Is it English only, or a Multi-language version?
EDIT;
Okay...English only. I guess, I have to wait... Great!

Do you have the NoMosaic mod from MTS? I know that causes the fish and probably other things to not show. |

Have you tried removing your mods and/or custom content and doing a test world and save? You need to narrow down all possible reasons why you can't save. |
