Title: first close to desktop bug Post by: Indiasong on 2009 June 20, 22:51:10 When I try to click on geometric in CAS.
What do I do now? If it is a simspack problem, where is it, how can I find it? I downloaded a few, and some where not packages, easy to round up. Title: Re: first close to desktop bug Post by: kutto on 2009 June 20, 22:58:37 Here, this link should help.

I can't even change style now, if the object I try to change, like a bed, has geometric pattern. How can I find where the game stores the installed files? Or alternatively, how can I delete what I downloaded, that is not in mods? Title: Re: first close to desktop bug Post by: J. M.

Title: Re: first close to desktop bug Post by: Zaphod Beeblebrox on 2009 June 20, 23:54:50 This is just a wild guess, but are you trying to say that you think you downloaded a borked recolored pattern from the Exchange? Hell, is that even possible? Borked mod, I can understand, but a recolor of a pattern?

Title: Re: first close to desktop bug Post by: Zazazu on 2009 June 21, 01:42:16 Uh...reinstall? That would be my suggestion, since I can't really understand the real problem. Either some file has become corrupted, or you downloaded something bad. I guess. Maybe. Perhaps there is a Sims3 forum in your home language it would be better to ask the question at.
Title: Re: first close to desktop bug Post by: Indiasong on 2009 June 21, 11:58:18 Yes, it must be something I downloaded, but probably something that was badly installed. I don't download from the exchange.
I tried using 3d viewer for the installation, but it keeps sending errors on installation, though last time it installed a few. But where? I deleted what it had not installed, and maybe a few it had from the download folder, are they essential there? The launcher only shows what it installed, doesn't it? I solved my problem, sort of, trying to do the 50% method with the files in the package folder, I had 15 of them, those I installed myself are in the patterns folder. Well it doesn't crash if half is in the package folder, 2 in the probation folder, 6 in the test folder. If I lump them together again, crash. How is that possible? Title: Re: first close to desktop bug Post by: Rothchild on 2009 June 21, 12:13:42 I don't think files in the probation folder get loaded, so one of those two files are probably causing the issue.
Title: Re: first close to desktop bug Post by: Indiasong on 2009 June 21, 12:27:03 Yes, you're right, I found the problem file and deleted it. Good to know, thank you.
Questions: What is the use of the download folder? Is it just so the launcher can see the files it installed? Where are the files that are installed? Title: Re: first close to desktop bug Post by: Zazazu on 2009 June 21, 17:31:11 Yes, it seems that the downloads folder is just for the launcher. I dump all textures into "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages". Since I'm a texture junkie, I have a shortcut on my desktop for it.
