TS3 Store Content Fixes (Updated 11/20/12)

You might want to turn BuyDebug on and see if there are any spawners on the lot. Junkyard spawners will spawn broken items like that.

LOL, I was just coming back to say that's what it was, but you beat me to it. Thanks again everyone...everything is right as rain again.

I don't think there is a golf ball. Have you tried cleaning the dirty furniture? And as far as that phone goes, you need to uninstall the old broken one you have installed and then find and install the fixed one that EA released.

There is one, update your game to 1.34 and download the no mosaic on MTS.info and it will show up.

Miss Malevolent, don't double post. Edit your first post instead.

I realize this just came out but is there a way to fix the blackjack table from doing this?



And you can't see the cards or the chips on the table.

This thread is for store items. I believe this was already pointed out to you so please make sure you search first in the right place instead of cluttering up this thread.

@Tia: I believe KT's latest update of his store fixes file has a solution for this problem. I haven't tested any of the new items in my game yet so you'll have to check it out for yourself.

That doesn't look like any object glitch I've ever seen.  That looks like what happens when a video card is on the fritz, or drivers need to be updated.

Nah, that's an object glitch. You can reproduce it yourself by trying to use the table without KT's fix. The same thing happens to the de-crapped generations reward phone. If you place your cursor over the white box, you will see a tooltip that tells which resource the game is looking for and cannot find.

[brownlustgirl]

Has anyone looked at the resources for the blackjack table? I have noticed that inactive Sims do not come to the blackjack table, so if only one sim from a household comes to the casino, they are the only ones playing. I just wondered if there was an autonomy for inactive Sims?

Umm no I updated my driver. So thats not the cause. And I can't get his fix to work.

[virgali]

The thread is now thoroughly updated. I added the list of clipping items KT posted to the "current issues" list. If I missed anything and they are already fixed please let me know. If I understood notouching correctly, the weird gamble table glitch only happens when people don't use KT's fix? Which means I won't be adding that to the list.

The missing icon for the gambling skill fix won't be added yet. I'll wait and see how long it'll take KT to add I to his own fix first. I really appreciate the quick solution nototuching provided though and it can be found in KT's store fix thread.

[Painkiller]

Ditto for the lack of autonomy with the blackjack table, sims will never use it on their own. It should be easy to fix, hopefully.

[kissing_toast]

It's most likely something in the itun files, I'll take a look at them tonight. No promises though because a lot of those are complete gibberish to me. Do they use the slot machines by themseves?

[Painkiller]

Yes sims use the slot machine autonomously, they're even drawn to it like bees on honey.

[INateYou]

I had my sims use the blackjack table for an entire sim day and none of them gained a single skill point in the gambling skill. Is that just me or are other people having this problem as well?

Just you? I was able to max out my sims' durring testing with no problem. I call ccmerged.package fail.

Hmmm... I'll redownload ccmerged and see if maybe when I was updating everything I forgot to do that one.

[Painkiller]

Don't replace your ccmerged file with KT's one, put his in the override folder. That worked for me anyway.

I tried replacing it and putting it in the override folder. Still won't gain the skill. They can play fine, and the chips and cards show up with the updated fixes, but they just won't gain the dang skill. I haven't seen any of the moodlets either besides unlucky and lucky which have always been in the game.

[virgali]

My test sim gains gambling skill both from the table and slot machines. I simply followed KT's instructions.

 I'm having an odd phenomena in my game though. The voodoo doll won't bind to sims unless my test sim has a high relationship with them. At first I though it's because she's evil but she lost that trait when the FOY backfired on her and now has a childish trait instead. Yet the doll won't bind to sims unless she has a "high" relationship with the victim. Does anybody have a clue why this is happening?

[INateYou]

In KT's instructions, it says the fix assumes all premium content was installed the same way. Well I use packages for all of mine, but I have a legit version of Hidden Springs installed, so my FoY is installed via the launcher. Would that be the problem?

No, you probably don't have a legit overrides folder. Try making a new folder in the folder you keep your store packages and put my fixes in there.

[INateYou]

I have all that done though, that's why the fixes work for my other premium items. I guess I'll just be going on without the gambling skill.

KT set me straight already, but thanks for the information, again. Also, I always search first.

Is anyone else having issues with the Deep Fat Fryer?  The Fryer *was* in my game, but now it's disappeared; everything else is still there.  Most of my Store CC are installed as decrapped .Sims3Packs.  My ccmerged.package is in the DCBackup folder, intact (I did a reinstall).  The ccmerged_decrapped.package and Store Fix are in the Overrides folder.

Is there something I'm missing?

I haven't experienced it myself but according to people at the TS3 forums the fryer uninstalls itself occasionally. I'm pretty sure they acquired the item legally so I don't think that the frying being arrr'd is the problem. Nobody knows what causes it or how to fix it.
