Is anyone else having Launcher issues?

My launcher crashes when I launch my game but the game continues to run smoothly.

All of my .package CCs work fine but the launcher is dicking around with the Sim3packs.  It tells me all the content (including Sims 3 store items) is installed but when I run the game, none of it shows up.  So lame.

I contacted EA tech support almost 2 days ago and still no answer.  Apparently, they've been been ignoring everyone with said issue.  What a joke.  Instead of trying to resolve their customer's needs, they're busy launching crappy laundry/Morroccan store content.  I'm so mad, it makes me wanna kick a puppy.

This is why you don't use sims3packs or the launcher.

lol fair enough.  I could always just convert the sim3packs and bypass the launcher.  I find that my game freezes when I convert my store items to .package.  Is this an issue on my end or does EA do something to their store items so that we can't convert them?

There is a way to combine the packages to make the game smoother. There are quite a few threads around the place discussing it.

The program you use, s3pe, actually directs you to the thread on MATY and makes you click "I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MATY THREAD" from a drop-down menu before it'll let you start merging packages.  I lol'd.

Repack or decrapify or whatever.
