More Awesome Than You!

  1.My computer is having memory problems again and I would like to know how to fix this without reinstalling the game or moving around my downloads.

  2.My clean installed is borked.  I don't have problems installing sims and lots.  However, when I check my downloads for duplicate, none of the duplicates are highlighted.  Can I fix this on my own?  I've reinstalled this program multiple times, but that doesn't help.  BTW I brought up this problem on the clean installer board, but I haven't gotten a response in two months.

I was going to ask about Free Time, but I'm not buying that game for a long while.

Other than the obvious reinstall suggestions, nothing comes to mind. I don't recall Clean Installer was ever responsible for dupe checking, anyway. It just installs.

However, Delphy's Download Organizer DOES check for duplicates, if I'm not mistaken. Try that one instead.

If you use the compressorizer, back up your downloads first. My experience with Delphy's programme is that it quite often corrupts compressed files. YMMV

Lum, I've read that BV packaging bugs Delphy's problem doesn't always read duplicate files well.  I lost a few files that way.

Witch, I was unable to move or delete some files when I used Delphy's problem in the past.  Does that mean those fiiles may have been jacked up? 

Ooh, I did not know that. Never had any problems, but then again, my downloads are 350mb or so, not as big as some folks' at MATY.

It actually does a form of dupe checking -- it'll highlight dupes in a pinkish color (if memory serves) and you can easily find them by sorting on the MD5 number.

What do you mean by 'jacked up' in this context? Compressed? It's possible. I don't know, I just know I tried Delphy's Organiser and had too many anomalies each time I used it. I use the Wardrobe Wrangler if I need to sort clothing now.

1. Sims2Pack don´t do a lot of things people thinks it does. It´s only a installer that allows you to check what you are adding to your game. The rest are lies and propaganda.

2. Deplhy´s organiser is cool but is not awesome. Sometimes don´t find all duplicates, confuses what is orphan with what is not orphan, so basically if you don´t know EXACTLY what are you doing you are on your own.

3. The best tool to check real duplicates is SIMPE. SIMPE not only check duplicates by filenames, what, as the last resource you can do listing folders and visually checking anyway, but check the internal GUIDS, and this is the real information.

4. If you have memory problems there is no solution but
a. remove downloads
b. buy more RAM

That´s it.

Does anyone still use Sims2Pack?  The Clean Installer is a different program, and it does check for duplicates by GUID -- not when installing, but when scanning.  It also will show a preview picture of the texture inside the package, which is very handy sometimes.

I mixed the names, my bad, english is not my best feature.
Replace where I pointed "sims2pack" by "clean installer" and left the rest is the same.

Well, then you're still wrong -- clean installer can be used to manage your downloads folder quite nicely.  In addition to previews and scanning for dupes, it's very handy for just turning hacks on and off if you have some you only use occasionally (like, say, zombie apocalypse for only some hoods and not others), and for identifying packages and organizing them (i.e., moving all walls to their own subfolder).
