The TS3 Store: post your questions, updates, and tech help here

[MegAnne]

Pescado took a look at the lot issue and updated s3rc.exe. You can now decrapify downloaded lots and have the objects show up.

To decrapify objects, followed by decrapifying lots, followed by decrapifying saves (anything else?) sounds pretty confusing, in particular reading this thread. I believe on KISS.

There's a new object at the Store: http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:38520&categoryId=11509&scategoryId=13062

Apparently the wind chimes make sounds and move like real wind chimes.

There's something that won't get old fast.

Actually it's pretty unobtrusive and it looks nice.

can't wait to play in it!

[icantbebothered]

Have it but its taking forever to upload to mediafire/4shared even with it zipped up so unless someone else uploads it you will have to wait

[itz_kukuchka]

I have been waiting for this for about 2 weeks!!!!  I think I can wait a little bit longer, and thanks so much!!!

I've been trying to buy it myself but all I get is an error of a baby in a dishwasher.

ETA: I changed the language and suddenly it's available. Not that it matters cause I don't have enough sim points.

[Dutchysim]

I can download in English and I am Dutch.

Hidden Springs
http://www.4shared.com/file/fHJpeqf2/Hidden_Springs.html

Thanks. But, how I can export this because it's unknown format for me? It worked for me if it's renamed as .zip, but I see here that it's renamed as .zipx

What of programs I need that I can export this .zipx package?

Thank you.

[icantbebothered]

.zipx is just a more compressed version of a .zip file used by winzip so if you have winzip or Im sure there are other free compression programs that you can get.  Or maybe someone else can upzip and reupload becaue I dont have time, took over an hour to upload.

[amystarr]

Tomislaw, 7zip worked for me to open the zipx file and it's free. hope this helps.

[Ange]

I was able to extract it with Winrar
Right clic > Open > Select program in a list > Winrar ^^

Thanks! It worked

Ok dont think im dumb for asking but every time i try to download the sims 3 store stuff from this site it says my game says it isnt updateded or some shit like that. So does anyome know what thats about, or how to fix it? 

[Izoray]

I don't know if its just me but every time I try to get the Hidden Springs from mediashare it messes up. I click start download and then is says downloading request then it reloads the page and I have to click start download again. Does anyone have another link for Hidden Springs I can try instead.

I'm going to take a wild stab and suggest that maybe you should update your game.

Try to remove mediafire cookies and reload the page.

It will work!

you have 3 ways to get the sims store stuff into your game

1) buy the .sims3packs
2) search for .packages of content you want or least how make the .sims3packs into .packages files
3) search for how and what to decrapify

I have tried 2 and 3 and the same is happening to me on two files I have tried to install today. I realize the World files must be installed as Sim3packs but I get the same error as the poster above, even after decrapifying. My game is up to date.

I have searched, I have downloaded before, and I have been able to get sim3packs into my game in the past. But Hidden Springs is not working for me. I believe I can still get the bundle to work if I package it and I do know how to do that. World files though cannot be packaged, at least according to posts here on MATY.

- Compressorize the sims3pack with s3rc.
- Extract the packages with Delphy's Multi Installer.
- The biggest package is the world, rename it to .world. Put it in the same directory that contains Sunset Valley.world. Hint: look under the directory where you installed the game, probably Program Files.
- Drop the other packages in the normal framework Install the remaining packages as normal packages.
