What will you find in this thread?You'll find a log of issues with the
Sims 3 store content and store content
only. The first post will be updated with current fixes while the second post below will contain information of past issues that already got fixed or aren't fixed yet. You'll also find links to these fixes. If you have any issue with the store content please post it in this thread from now on.
Current fixes*Premium content fix by Kissing_Toast:Issue: There's a conflict with various premium content from the store such as the magic items, the Fountain of Youth, the Tree of Prosperity and the Hypnotizer.
Arred version: His fix works for both decrapped items as package file conversions.
Download: This thread.
Notes: These files are now updated and include many fixes, please read the instructions in KT's thread.*Asian Hot Tub fix by Kissing_Toast:Issue: Infinite Flowing Hot Tub doesn't display the proper animations. The water wasn't flowing from the right spot.
Arred version: Works for both decrapped content and package file conversions.
Download: This thread.
Notes: See original thread.
*Exclusive Pet Store Register fix by Kissing_Toast:Issue: Decrappifying the register causes it to break and you won't be able to buy items from it.
Arred version: Decrappified content.
Download: KT_StoreFix_UnAwesomeNotes: There are other fixes for this problem. Using
AwesomeMod ought to fix the register but some people reported that it didn't allow you to buy the exclusive items. You can also use the comrpessorizor (not the decrappifier!) on the sims3pack file and extract it using delphy's tool. You are then able to use S3PE to find the register package, extract that and place it in your mods folder.
*Missing Fences Fix:Issue: Certain fences wouldn't show up in-game, this is a very old issue.
Arred version: Decrapped content and package file conversions.
Download: Update your
decrappifiying tools.
Notes: Pescado updated the s3rc tools and it's been fixed since then. If you're still having issues with fences make sure you have the latest files.
*Counters/Sectionals/Islands Fix:Issue: These store items would revert back to default when placed in corners and Create-a-style (CAST) wouldn't work at all for those who use package files.
Arred version: Decrapped only.
Download: Update your
decrappifiying tools.
Notes: Since an update of the s3rc tools these items have been working fine for those who use the decrappify method. Those who use package file
still experience these issues.
*Generations Registration Reward Phone fix:Issue: Decrappifiying the phone causes it to break. (Missing Resources box, no handle)
Arred version: Decrapped content.
Download: Kissing_Toast's fix. (The download file is the same one for the premium content fix I linked above.)
Notes: Please take into account that EA did not make custom animations for this phone. Sims will use the regular animations they use for their modern phones.
MOAR Fix: You can also extract the package file yourself and place it in your mods folder. This should also fix the issue.
*The Ambitions Registration Reward fix:Issue: You get additional items you're able to sculpt or invent. Although you are able to buy these through buydebug, the option for actually making these items on their corresponding "workbenches" are missing.
Arred version: Decrappified content and package files as well.
Download: KT's
KT_StoreFix_UnAwesome.
Notes: Originally uploaded by Rothchild but
AwesomeMod makes this mod obsolete KT's fix is for people that don't use AM.
*Female Sportwear fix by Clara:Issue: Apparently the clothing file is referencing a file outside of the package that needs to be undecrapified.
Arred version: Decrapped content only.
Download: This post.
Notes: Make sure to delete your cache files so the game can generate the right thumbnail in CAS. Morphs are still borked with this fix.
MOAR Fix: Install the set as a package file. DO NOT decrappify, use s3rc only and Delphy's tool to extract the files.
*Dr. Pepper Lagomorph in Neon lamp fix by Clara:Issue: The lamp is using the wrong texture.
Arred version:Decrapped content.
Download:Clara's
post..
Notes: A fix was also created by Menaceman but unfortunately it conflicts with the Christmas stockings. His thread is still around but please use Clara's fix instead.
*Fireplaces fix:Issue: Several fireplaces would not show up in-game even when converted into package files.
Arred version: Decrapped and package files.
Download: Update your
decrappifiying tools.
Notes: This issue was fixed by a s3rc update. Please make sure you're using the latest s3rc files.
*Tree of Prosperity pixies & fireflies lightshow fix by nonamena:Issue: There's leftover code in the object for pixies and fireflies to appear but it requires an object that's not released yet for them to work.
Arred version: Decrapped and package files.
Download: Modthesims.infoNotes: This is a purely aesthetic fix, the tree will work properly without it and it won't conflict with Kissing_Toast's Premium Content Fix posted above.
*"Romanza Bridal Party" dresses fix by Kissing_Toast:Issue: Sims would wear the dress during pregnancy despite it missing the appropriate mesh/morph.
Arred version: Decrapped and package file.
Download: Kissing_Toast's blog.
Notes: The file is called
CASP_NoRandoms and also fixes the Barnacle Bay and Riverview clothing so sims won't use them at random.
*"BahHaus" windows fix by Aussome:Issue: Two windows in this set would create a gap in the wall next to them when used diagonally.
Arred version: Decrapped and package files.
Download: Aussome's post.
Notes: None.
*"Edwardian Kitchen" counter top fix by Kissing_Toast:Issue: If you have a dishwasher or trash compactor in the counter, when you open these the counter can still be seen.
Arred version: Decrapped and package files.
Download: Kissing_Toast's thread.
Notes: See original thread; this fix consists of two files as of 07/19/2012.
*Kissing_Toast's StoreFix_Awesome:Issue: Several borked windows, several borked and conflicting premium content, routing issue with Banquet Fan, borked Rotary Phone.
Arred version: Decrapped and package files.
Download: KT's thread.
Notes: Kissing_Toast included several fixes in the same file, please read his first post to see what fixes are included in the file.
*Cellar Arch "fix":Issue: There's a
gap issue when it's placed on a wall and one person reported it even crashed their game.
Arred version: Decrapped and package files.
Download: Fresh copy.
Notes: This object got fixed by EA themselves but you'll need to install the new file for it to work. As far as I know this is an untouched sims3pack file so you'll need to decrap and convert it to package file yourself.
*Antique clock from the Storybook set fix by Havelock:Issue: The clock can't be placed on the fireplaces' mantles.
Arred version: Decrapped and package.
Download: Havelock's post.
Notes: None.
*Sizzle Baby Pro Deep Fryer and Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine fix:Issue: They produce no food for decrapped versions of the item. There's also a buff conflict with other premium content.
Arred version: Decrapped and package.
Download: KT_StoreFix_Awesome.
Notes: Kissing_Toast adds all the premium fixes into one easy downloadable file. Make sure you have the
latest version.

Arred version: Decrapped and package.

here.
Arred version: Decrapped and package.
Download: This
post.
Notes: Use jaldeer's re-uploaded version of the "Once Upon A Time" set. If you have this issue in your game you need to locate the set and uninstall it first.
*Retro Model T Dining Chair from the Mid-century Modern Dining & Style setIssue: Chair is unusable because it gives a routing failure error.
Arred version: Decrapped and package.
Download: KT store fix.
Notes: EA borked the chair while fixing a missing stencil issue reported below. KT's fix works for both the old and new file.
*Missing stencil teen dress from Mid-century Modern Dining & Style setIssue: The stencil is enabled for ages YA and up but is missing for teens.
Arred version: Decrapped and package.
Download: KT store fix.
Notes: EA fixed this but the new file broke the chair that comes with the set. This fix works for both the old and new file.

Important: As of 07/05/2012 Kissing_Toast rearranged his fixes into new separate files. Please read his firs post for further instructions.I also have two fixes that are packaged with the files from the downloads thread. It's a hair and a steampunk top. I have the fixes in my game but I have no clue what they're supposed to fix or who made them.(Work in progress. I will update this shortly.)
