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

[coolkips]

Does anybody know why I have problem with downloaded files from TS3 store? Many of them can't be installed, program tells me "your game isn't updated, please update it". But it isn't true, I have the last update and most downloaded files from Store still can't instal.

Maybe you need update the Store Content Patch to latest version: 2.2

I'm asking if someone has Roullete table and Poker table (not black jack table) as separate sims3pack untouched. I have LuckyNSOSet. My set is decraaped, so I don't know if I can export the objects and the exported objects will work independently if I install them (after uninstalling the set)

I discovered that the objects of set don't appear in gameplay files. Black jack table is installed as separate objects (sims3pack decraped) and it appear in gameplay file. So I need to try installing the other two objects separate, because I need an instance that now don't exist.

Really, I 'm a little confuse why the black jack there is, and other two there aren't....

You're doing it wrong, that's why.

No, I¨m doing it right The problem was because many of TS3 Store downloads were blocked only for the one account at EA. I use the Sims TG for unblocked it and now is averything allright 


But I have another question - what does it mean "untouched" and "decraped" files? Thanks

TG Unblocked is to decrapify file.
Untouched is the original file from EA store, not decraped.
If you don't take the sims3pack from EA, you need to decrap the pack.

Can someone (re)post the Business as Usual Bistro? sethsoul's links actually leads to The Coffee Bean Hipster Loft set.

Not true. I downloaded the set from the mediafire link and it shows up just fine. Mega link has at least the correct file name. Maybe you're confused because the Hipster thing is called "Industrial Loft" and the Bistro is called "Industrial kitchen"?

My bad, you're right. EA must be out of inspiration for the sets names.

That or they must not be feeling like they're getting paid enough to make a good name for shit. It's probably likely to get worse around TS4 time. I already see rushed out and even more broken shit than anyone will imagine, confusing file names galore and all accompanied by wonky worlds out the ass.

Edit: Post Beta 2.0. Now with Moar Grammar

Double Edit:

I just noted, but if you happen to look at the Nautical set or the hipster loft, you will find a wonderfully copypasta description all across the board in buy mode. Just love the subtle advertising and the EAxian hilarity in them and they are so damn creative

[jezzer]

They haven't even bothered coming up with unique flavor text in the catalog descriptions for individual items of a set in a really long time.  They just use the text for the set description for all the items.  How long before they stop naming them altogether and just call them "Set Item A," "Set Item B," etc.?

[Madame Mim]

It will not happen. If they were so simply named it would be too easy to spot the blatant repackaging and reselling by a simple name comparison. Failure to clearly describe or truly uniquely name has always been a function of this marketing strategy.

[Levini]

That's a marketing strategy? I'm quite surprised. It didn't sell me on anything but to just pirate the shit for the lulz of laughing at either the lack of creativity, the borkishness, the odd looking stencils and/or the strange categorization. I surely didn't spend much money. Besides, anything in the store can pretty much be found somewhere else (or the same style of item) and with much better quality and playability.

The Business As Usual Bistro doesn't seem to come with the actual Industrial Stove...

It does come with the Industrial Stove. There's one on the lot itself and also in buy mode. Yours has probably been replaced with some other stove due to installation issues.

[youarehome]

I've re-done everything and the stove appears as a grey sphere. No idea what's going on there...

[notouching]

The gray sphere can appear when the game is unable to find the resources needed for an object, which makes it sound like it could be an installation problem. Try re-naming your Sims 3 Folder and installing the set just so see if everything shows up properly. If it does, there's something wrong in your old folder.

Also, how are you installing the set and have you tried deleting the caches?

[youarehome]

So the files are simpacks, I've deleted the caches and decrapped the 'untouched' files. I opened them and they've installed but I fail to see the individual installed items  in the 'installed content' tab in the launcher. I've even tried converting them to packages.

I had the same issue, however I use this site for the package files - http://freesims3.tumblr.com/archive.  The stove for me had a square box thing, I used the fix from here and it works like a charm.

Thank You 

Ooooooh look minge is back!

[Starler]

so one rule for one, another rule for another, whatever 

By jove, you've got it! See, you've proven yourself to be a lazy, moronic tard, and we don't like tards of any stripe here. Their posts tend to end up in the 'Dome. Quite shocking, no?

Now, be a good tard and FOAD. The soup should be delicious if prepared correctly.

We're not tech support for Rachel and her box.  If she denies anything is wrong but you're still having problems, either get your files from another, more supportive source, or admit to PEBKAC.

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with the "Milkin' It Dairy Corral" object.

When i click an interaction it freezes my sim, and i can't even cancel the command.. (without cheating)

Is there anybody working on a fix? I have KTs fixes up to date.

[notouching]

There's a temporary fix for the cows in KT's thread.
