More Awesome Than You!

We'll start by looking at the Choppy Haircut for Men (http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:17216&categoryId=11959&scategoryId=11974&pcategoryId=11973&ppcategoryId=11960&gender=male&startAt=0). If you look at the page you will see an image of the set (look below).


Left click it and then click Copy Image Location. Paste that into your browser.


Copy the red text and paste it in place of "Thumbnail_300x300". Then replace "png" with "Sims3Pack" (without the "").

So this is the link you should now have:
Open the link and save it, do not open it with the Game Launcher, instead open it with this: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15129.0.html


There ya go:)

Doesn't seem to work with all files. I tried it with the maxi dress and I am getting a 404 Not Found.

Security by obscurity.

EA: it are profeshunal.

i already proved it, and the first time doesnt work but it was because i just putted sims3pack at the end so you have to be carefull and put Sims3Pack to work.

Thanks Joe for share

It does apparently not work with every item. For example the Mandarin coat:
Image URL: http://na.llnet.sims3store.cdn.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/sims3store/skins/ambodycoatlongmandarincollar/Thumbnail_300x300.png
Item URL: http://na.llnet.sims3store.cdn.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/sims3store/skins/ambodycoatlongmandarincollar/ambodycoatlongmandarincollar.Sims3Pack (404'd)

It does not work for me.

Oh well. Almost everything is up in the Store thread already, anyway.

Yeah, it didn't work for the Tiki fullset either.  I chose something random since I have it all anyhow, I just wanted to see.

I'll play around with the links then.


It doesn't work with sets, you have to download each one individually.

I'll see if there is a way.

I have to do this to get images from various image accounts for my fan site, alexzworld.com

You guys need to remove direct links especially when posting links that are from ea themselves, since it'll showup on their referrals leading back here.

Yup - use tinyurl

As far as i know their server is case sensitive.  A while back one would get a login box when trying to access the exchange page however if you used a capital for the E in exchange you could access it without logging in.

Perhaps those that aren't working need a capital in one place or another?

I coded the links.

I guess it only works with hair "/ That's all I was downloading anyways.

I think most of us use the refcontrol addon anyway.

Or we simply don't give a shit.

Well, that last thing is kinda easy.
I think we already had it in the previous days. Type this in address field: sims3://download/?assetId= and put in the ID of the Sim or Lot. You can look it up on the Add to Game Button by right clicking on it and looking up preferences. There's for example javascript:downloadAsset(27317);.

I tried this and it didn't work. The launcher just pops up. For this method, is the launcher suppose to connect to the internet, because I have it blocked.

Then it's senseless to complain if you block it. Allow it to connect, because there ain't anything to fear. I don't think they supervise you.

i got FREE EA Porn...Gnomes are involved...HURRAH!

Check Torrents...the whole HoopLALA is out there.

just download it using torrent.. you can find it @ TPB

absoutely nothing will work with me... >:( why doesnt someone just do it an post everything somewhere to make iteasier for the blonds like me??

Someone has already done that. You have to either use the many torrents available or use the mediafire link as seen in http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15100.0.html (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15100.0.html)

Spell check is your friend.  So is your space bar and apostrophe key.  Literacy is a plus here.

Please excuse my ignorance but don't understand how this would even work. ???

Because EA sucks at everything. Plus it's just a url edit I'm guessing(Haven't tried it) and the site is a dud at hiding things. I was the one that uncovered the whole put capitals in the first letter of every word and it unlocks the pages, back on the 16th(?) when the site was leaked.  They are terrible at everything :pp. XD

Didn't work here either... the server IS probably case sensitive as a lot of Web Servers are Linux based.
