Nope, PC..and the sauna is still showing up red...

Check to see if the sauna costs more Simoleons than your Sims have.  If that's the case, use a cheat to give your Sims more funds.

I bought the items from the store and still had the same problem. The Sauna wouldn't place anywhere. When I took out the files with fixes for store items, the sauna finally worked. I believe one of them conflicts. Sorry that I don't remember which one. The answer to your problem might me within the fix files.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but, apparently there is a issue with the teen version of A Little Bit Fishy dress from yesterday's update.  The teen version is missing 3 stencils (2 flowers and a blank version) while the YA/AF version has the correct stencils.  This was reported  at the forum on the Sims site with pictures (here is the link to that thread if anyone wants to look at it - http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/592332.page).  When I saw that, I did check in my own game and sure enough it was true.  I was hoping kissing_toast or someone else who knows how to could fix that?

I had the same problem before. Now, after installing SN and updating AM the sauna suddenly works. I have no idea what happened.

This probably has been asked before, but there are like over 100 pages. I cannot get anything to download off of UploadMirrors. Everything I click on takes me to some stupid ass downloader that doesnt even have the download sims3 file in it or.... i-fucking-Livid.. everywhere. Somebody pretty please just tell me how to get the stupid file to download without... ILIVD flashing images in my brains.

Thanks

Given I just did them all again in the last 2 weeks - you try each mirror and discard the livid pages, always ensuring that you actually click on the right link on the page.

Do it again and do it right this time.

Or, conversely, if your poor widdle bwain can't cope with a little extra work to get something for free, you could always go buy the store stuff and not have to deal with all of this horrible, horrible frustration.  You know, like the people who went to all of this trouble to share them did.

Additions to the Upload Mirror list I posted a few months back. All files included are original, unmodified files.

I have been unable to find the "Renault Positive Energy Pack" (released March 2012), and was hoping some kind soul might be able to assist.

The official EA-GB page has long since been removed.
icantbebothered's upload link from 23 March is no longer valid.
It is not included in any of the updates (first two posts) from the official downloads thread.
I have even checked all of rachelstoolbox's "unofficial" updates.

I am specifically looking for an unmodified Sims3Pack. Thanks!

According to that thread, the dress stencils issue has been fixed.  However, an extra copy of the dining chair was added to the set which renders the chair unusable.
I'll wait a little longer to see if the issue is resolved before re-downloading and re-uploading the set.

Check the download section, it has been posted there.

Does anybody have the Leon's Fountain of Youth unmodified .sims3pack?
Thanks.

Thanks.

I don't think anyone posted it separately, It did however come with Hidden Springs, you will need to look for the link for Hidden Springs.

According to SimGuruMegan, they fixed the wrong thumbnail for picnic table (in buy mode) & missing stencils to the Drifter's Desire Set and the extra chair issue to the Mid Century Modern Dining & Style Set - could simmeremma redownload the Drifter's Desire Set and reupload it and beansontoast redownload the Mid Century Modern Dining & Style Set and reupload it please?

I can't believe they didn't make a bar stool for the MCM set.

Apparently, the store will be selling the Serenity Retreat venue tomorrow (the 18th).  There will also be a limited-time Simpoint bundle for Halloween.  Link here:  http://simsvip.com/2012/10/17/tomorrows-store-content-sp-bundle-bonus/

And in case no one else has noticed, the Store has removed almost all of the holiday sets.  The official word is that "The seasonal sets are being temporarily vaulted and will return for limited periods of time during the appropriate period."  Assholes.

Both the simpoint bundle and the retreat have already been released. I'm pretty sure that some of the hairs are old ones from previous Store sets.

That's probably code for, "We're going to wait until everyone forgets they were originally free and then charge for them."

Actually some of the old Halloween sets were already re-released? So basically they took them away just so it seems they are giving us free items for each holiday? As far as I can tell the sets are exactly the same.  I'm done trying to get Ea "logic", my brain will probably start hemorrhaging.

ETA: Maybe they added coding to the items so they'll work with the festivals?

Surely that's just stupidly wishful thinking?
