Snailsnot! Beat me to it! At least I hadn't purchased it yet...I was still purchasing points. Thanks!

[rum nate]

There is only one more pay set left, the Loud, Fast, Clash! - Bedroom + Attire. It is 1,800 points.

[brownlustgirl]

New stuff up today - got a gift set (for buying points even though I didnt LOL) from this link

http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:23602

Providing the link, I was able to download it for free. Maybe the other bonus stuff will download from a direct link, too.

  Thanx a lot

Every single one of these gives me the "please make sure you're updated" issue. Does that mean I need to decrapify them? I'm used to using the package versions but I don't wanna wait for someone to make them.

[brownlustgirl]

Need to be decrapified to use the Sims3Pack. I use the one file Motoki  provided, I think a couple of pages back.

Been waiting to get my grubby fingers on the LoudFast set.

[Claeric]

Can't get the loud fast set to work. Decrapifying gives an error that flashes by too fast to read.

Why not just convert them yourself? That's what I'm doing.

[Claeric]

Never had much luck with converting sims3packs and getting them to work properly.

Too late now anyway.

[Andistyr]

Claeric, give me a few and I'll put in a package today's update - I need to feed my kids plus have them take a bath - when I get back to my computer, I'll do it.

Edit:  I'm in the process of putting today's update in a package.  I will upload it when I get done for anybody who needs or wants it.

[brownlustgirl]

Nope, can't get the LoudFast set to decrapify and install either. EA might have fixed them?

[Claeric]

I did the decrapify-without-dragging too, no luck.

Sphinx sent me a .package version that also doesn't work. Very strange. And also lame because this is the only new set that I really want. D:<

[markjs]

Weird, I decrapified it just fine.

What are your parameters? Did you attempted to "fix" the s3pack before decrapifying?

Try using as argument for s3rc -fD "LoudFastFullSet.Sims3Pack";

[Claeric]

I have no idea what that means.

[markjs]

Instead of directly using the decrapify executable.
You should attempt to fix it with s3rc first, I remember Pescado said about this with some troubled Sims3Packs.

Simply run the following:
s3rc -fD "LoudFastFullSet.Sims3Pack"

[brownlustgirl]

Duh, got it to work, didn't clean my caches after my first attempt.

I got a command script from this site, I am pretty sure Motoki posted it. Followed the instructions and put it in the folder. That is the only drag and drop I use. I think everything is done at once.

If only I could find where Motoki posted that helpful tool.

[Claeric]

I'm lost. What do you mean by "run"? Using the run command? Or do I type that in s3rc (it doesnt stay open for more than a split second)? Or what?

D:

At this point I wanna just uninstall ALL the store stuff (sims3pack or otherwise) and redownload it lal because for all I know half of it doesnt work. I'm lost.

I've now lost track of the author's name, but it's on the site somewhere.

Code:

for /R %%i in (*.sims3pack) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
for /R %%i in (*.package) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
for /R %%i in (*.nhd) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
for /R %%i in (*.sim) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
for /R %%i in (*.dbc) do s3rc.exe -fD "%%i"
@pause

1.   Save this with an text-editor (Start > Run > "notepad" > OK, f.e.) to s3rcBatch.cmd
2.   The file icon has now (depending on your Windows-Version) something like cogwheels.
3.   If you copy this file f.e. in your Save-Folder TOGETHER with the s3rc.exe, and double-click on it, it decrapifies all .sims3pack, .package, .nhd, .sim, .dbc in every subdirectory (i.e. save-game) it can find.

[brownlustgirl]

That's it Witch. Using that is the only way I can get the Sims3Pack to work.

10 minutes later and...it still doesn't work.

It did make one file that didn't work before work, but that's about it.

[witch]

I just installed all the new downloads successfully. I suspect it's an ID10T error.

Dude, just use jfade's front end if you can't get it to work.
