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

[magnetic]

My chocolate fountain works well now with the fix, but I have none of the 5 moodlets linked to its use.. Maybe there is something more to add in  the fix

Maybe go back to where you found the fix and read everything there carefully.

Thanks for the advice.. the issue is fixed now

I lurk the store section on the BBS sometimes.

The Botanophobic's Nemesis Sculpture from the Technophobe no More set is missing its texture file, meaning it doesn't have a default patterns list and therefore can't be recoloured.

It's all overlay, object is simply not CASTable. Works as intended, it just happens to conflict with how you want it to work.

The Artful Adobe Fireplace when downloaded through the dashboard is also an incomplete file. It's missing a catalogue file which means unless it's installed using the complete set file, it won't appear in the catalogue.

It's part of a set so who gives a fuck.

The Helipophobia Harm Window from the Technophobe No More set has the wrong sized transparency file so shows a gap next to the window...

Might actually get off my ass and fix these tonight

Other than the telescope this is all working as intended. What it does and what you want it to do are two different things. Telescope is broken though, will look into it.

^ Orsum, KT.  If you ever feel so inclined, is it possible to make this window, from the Sweet Escape Nursery (Compilation April 2011) recolorable?  I HAET YELLOW.

I think what this refers to is that both cannot be repaired or upgraded. Any attempt at doing so will cancel out with a route fail bubble.

BTW, is the Fountainof the Sphinx from the WA registration award set also working as intended? It has three spouts but no water coming from them.

[kissing_toast]

Most of the fountains, hot tubs too, that come out of the store have no custom water effects. Which means EA built them, with places water is supposed to flow out of, but never bothered to make the actual water effect. So technically they work as they are supposed to according to what's in the package file. It's a shame when we have third party CC sites with better quality control than they do. I'll have to look into how to make an object repairable.

@Capitaine Marie - I'll see

Looked into it, I can't make the stencil recolorable but I can remove it for you if you want.

Thanks, that would be great!

[virgali]

There's a mod at MTS that removes stencils.

Doesn't this work? http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=478307
Admittedly, I haven't used it since 1.36 came out, but the creator has updated it and it may be worth a shot.

ETA: Post above was posted while I was searching for the mod. I think it's the same one.

Thanks.  I'll give that a try.

It doesn't matter where the sims3packs come from, as long as no-one has fiddled with them and decrapified or otherwise amended them. You need vanilla sims3packs. As far as I know, all the packs in our store thread are clean and pure and harbour no evil thoughts.

They work just as well with decrapified sims3packs and both types of packages as well. As long as you use the correct fixes, that is.

LURK MOAR.

[jezzer]

This has all been covered before.  Repeatedly.

[jezzer]

We don't need a tutorial post.  There have been multiple tutorial posts already.  The fact that you're still here nattering on about it shows just how effective tutorial posts have been.  And the last fucking thing we want or need is a "newbie ambassador."

[jezzer]

SEARCH MOAR.

[coltraz]

I'm surprised Jezzer can even offer you the advice to search moar. Personally I can't even understand what you're asking about, because of all the typos.

I'm sure it has butt is spread thinly across loads of threads and posts.

Whose butt is spread thinly? Yours? Why?

The search feature help buy it can't show the proper order to do these things in.

Buy what? This stuff is all free.

I ado understand either.

[Madame Mim]

I couldn't care less about what you think of my spelling, grammar or typing abilities (or lack of),

An admirable sentiment, I'm sure, but you came here asking for help. When you ask your mother to tie your shoes for you, do you start with insults and unintelligable mutterings? Or do you find she responds better to lucid conversation and clear statements?

May be if more people actually helped rather than hiding behind playground mentality then more people would come here to get the Store stuff,

You seem to be under the misconception that we are here feeding some need to be of service. You are wrong.

[moar boobs]

If you can all help me fully understand I all of it I will gladly write up a tutorial post and act as Newbie Ambassador!

Bwahahaha! Even my first post wasn't that stupid!

[jezzer]

Let's not get hasty.

[Madame Mim]

This would be a reasonable argument had I been offered any help in the first place.  The often used "SEARCH MOAR" is not helpful.

It's clear and concise. It used to drive me insane as a child when my father would tell me where the dictionary or the encyclopedia was rather than simply answering my questions.

 Just complaining over petty spelling mistakes is frankly childish and pathetic, especially when many of you long term posters are just as guilty of it.  (Since when is MOAR a valid spelling of more?).

A more reasonable question might be 'where'. As far as spelling goes we're not singling you out. Any mistakes I make will get me pulled over the coals as well. This is a forum which has official Grammar Police. Did you think they were just for decoration?

Considering people are here, well the helpful ones, to share files and fix problems with the game (such as the wonderful Pescado)

You probably won't be interested to know that I've been considered 'one of the helpful ones' in the past. I am absolutely certain that it will not fit your world view when you discover that Pescado is the originator/instigator of MOAR FIGHT! Do you often find yourself asking for services not provided? Is it a shock when the library doesn't serve beer? Or the foot ball club doesn't take in laundry?

[jezzer]

If it would read the FAQ instead of swanning about, clutching its pearls and whinging, several of its questions about the forum culture would already be answered.

[runesong]

I have often wondered about the Grammar Police as well...I don't think MOAR is correct, it's not in the dictionary.  However, it does seem to be an acceptable word for this forum.  Decrapified isn't in the dictionary either.  On the other hand, if the rules of the forum state that proper grammar is to be used, then I will try to abide by those rules.  As they say, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" and giving a "bad time" to those who provide us with content and information are a blessing to us!

[jezzer]

"Moar" is considered a meme and a staple of internet culture.  MATY tends to allow -- if not encourage -- internet memes and lolcat language if they are used sparingly and are obviously meant to be humorous.  Grammar police tend to overlook the occasional typo, misspelling, or wayward comma.  These can happen to anyone, even the strictest Grammar Cop.  Grammar Cops also are less strict with ESL or ETL posters who are at least making an effort.  Where we tend to Lose Our Shit is with someone who is ostensibly a native English speaker, but whose every post resembles the lunatic ravings of a bored 12 year old girl doodling on the back of her notebook with a fuzzy glitter pen while her biology teacher drones in the background.

needs to be updated for 1.42 ? (to know if I can use for 1.42 - sorry for my english)
