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

Is anyone aware if any fixes have been issued for the (TS3 $tore item) Infinite Flow Hot Tub? I've been building an Asian themed house lately, and when I went to test I realized that the spout doesn't work at all. I searched, but I only found one other mention of it (on TS3.com).  The person who reported it also said that the hot tub from the casino set has a broken spout as well. (Which it does.)
I was curious enough to check the rest of the $tore tubs. Everything else seems to work, except possibly for the tiki-themed hot tub. I say possibly because the water works, but the torches that the tiki idol holds don't give off any light—and I'm not too sure if they were ever supposed to—being unable to find a working picture.
Thanks for reading.

It looks to me that the Infinite Flow HT uses the wrong animation because it's there, it just doesn't match the tub. What's wrong with the casino HT? And I doubt the torches are supposed to light up since other lights are present.

The casino hot tub is also using the wrong animation. If you look closely, you will barely be able to see some water "flowing" at the base of the wall. There is a slit for the for water, however, between the King and Queen.

I apologize for the late reply. So there is nothing do be done, then? The objects are unfixable?

I'm kinda looking into it, it isn't as easy as I thought, and effects are new territory for me.

Thank you for taking the time to look into it.
Also: Damn! "So there is nothing do  be done, then?"  Jeromycraig will slice my head off before dawn.

The Grammar Police aren't really that fussed over single, obvious typos.

I was just curious how you get the skydiving venue from the ford thrill car. I can't seem to even find the thing no matter how many times I download the thing.

Are you looking in community objects on a community lot?

I am looking for a venue is it just a object?

Tis not a lot, tis a community lot object like the other rabbit holes.

If it helps you locate it, use the EP filter option on the catalogue so that it only shows Store content. Unless you're using packages of course then you would probably need to filter it to CC.

Ok but I have no clue what I am looking for when I just showing store items or what category its even in. Or what it even looks like. I have to many things in my download folder that are from the store from here. So if you could be more specific what to look for I would be grateful.

It's a goddamn rabbit hole, what else do you need to know?

If you ctrl+shift+c then testingcheatsenabled true, shift+click on a community lot, choose Build here, then click the Community category, you will find it in the first tab, among other rabbit hole building objects, like other shells, you just have to put it on a community lot for your sim to disappear into it to collect some skydiving experience pop up.
Without the cheat, I think you could go to Edit Town, then choose to build on a community lot.

Stranded on a foreign planet after their spaceship became disabled, the survivors utilized homeworld technology and newly-discovered crystal tech to survive at the edge of space. As the generations have progressed these intrepid Sims built roads, developed agriculture, and established a thriving colony. Where will you take their explorations next?

"You should sign up or login to download this file" Really? There's no way to dismiss the window and no way to download the dang thing. Can you upload it to Mediafire please?

Edit: ! Indeed. Thanks Phthon. That is the most stupid sign up I've ever seen. Why force a sign up if there's no check anywhere, Doh.

[Phthon]

I just made up an email and password. The email doesn't exist. It let me download it just fine.

[Roobs]

Well it all works fine except for the damn crystal tree, which my sims can't seem to pick fruit from. The interaction just drops out of the queue.

[lilith]

Confirm the interaction gather the fruit does not work, I tried to improve your skills to the maximum but nothing.
 Will need another fix.

A few of us have had success with the .package file.

I'm sure this has been asked here before, but I've googled, gone to many forums, and checked the last few pages here and have yet to find anything. What is the fix for when you install something via the launcher and it goes to the installation window but says, "Installation failed: Make sure you have the latest software updates and try again." I only get it when I try to install Sims 3 Store content from the other thread in this forum.

Your google-fu is completely fail.
Try searching for decrapify. And don't post asking how you do it. It has been COVERED TO DEATH.

You're lucky I'm in a good mood.

I neglected to mention that I'm confined to a mac, and as far as I know, there aren't any decrapifiers for macs.

[Skadi]

Well now, that makes all the difference.

You will have to stick to using .package files and pre-decrapified counters. They are available in a torrent which is complete up to Nov last year. The newer stuff is currently being sorted.

I did do that with objects, but I was hoping to find a way to do it with the new neighborhood (aside from doing it the unbelievably complicated way). There's a guy on demonoid who is still updating each month, I was just trying to see if I could get it before he gets around to incorporating it in the March update- oh well!

Also, thank you for not responding with, "Here's a fix, buy a decent computer." I'm in art school, and the big kids make fun of the PC users.

[jezzer]

That's weird.  We make fun of the people who spend $1,000 more for the exact same computer with a different OS and an apple slapped on it.

Well I'm a big kid and a self-employed Graphic Designer and I HATE MACS! I use a PC. Tell the big kids to go fuck themselves and think about buying a REAL machine.

[AlfredFinch]

By big kids I mean the hipsters that hang out at trendy smoothie cafes and such- not very big but very kiddish.

If anyone wants to point me to a guide on breaking down the world files I will be happy to upload it. I have had someone test a .world file from my game and it doesn't show. I have extracted all the objects and the premium tree.
