Title: How on earth am I using the decrapper+decrompressorizer wrong??
Post by: maddyt on 2012 September 02, 02:53:56
Basically, my only problem is with worlds (namely Sunlit Tides, Lunar Lakes and Lucky Palms as these are the only ones I want, I used to have Riverview and thought it was a bit shit :-\)

Even when decrapped using the guide for retards - http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,19170.0.html - I am getting the error about needing my software updating still... My base, Pets, Gen and HELS are all arr'd adn they are obvs the only packs/EPS I own. But yeah this error is starting to get annoying now especially as I can't figure out wtf I'm doing wrong and if it's obvious feel free to flam e- it's most likely my 4am tired ignorance causing me to be such a spazz.

Thanks :)

PS LL is a world and the other two are objects according to my launcher.

Redownload the neighbourhoods, and buy your damn games.

You've picked the wrong website to preach about buying games.

Buy my damn games?.... I hope you're joking. I calculated the cost of the 9 games (base&8 eps/sps) from a games retailed in England - on discount - £199 exactly! So no I won't - my education and driving is more important, this is a hobbie.

And Jezzer, should I redownload? I seem to be getting it with all store stuff but clothes I can turn into package files. Hmm.

It sounds like you're not patched.  Store stuff usually requires you to be patched.

Ohh?

Have you got a link for the patches? I thought I was patched but knowing EA they've patched like HELS since.

I'm not awake enough yet to be meen. Mod the Sims. Patch Downloader. It'll be your games new best friend.

Thanks for the patch thing, didn't realise it worked for pirated games as MTS aren't a massive advocate of it. And it was almost 2am you 'speeshul' person, I was commenting as I was about to turn off my laptop and sleep so it was convenience. Well thanks for the patch thing - patching atm not sure if I'll need to redownload the worlds, hopefully not but if I do I do.

ETA: Worlds have apparently installed however the new patch now means that it wants the game disc.... I'm fucked if I'm honest - I deleted the ISO aaaaaages ago and EAxis demolish all uploads of the Sims via NZB (I don't Torrent) within minutes :/ bugger.

Any advice? Googe has lead to the Sims forums but they're genuine purchases and it's 'contact our department blah blah'  :-[

Go to NRaas and get Twallan's No-CD mod.  Then boot your game directly from the .exe file, and not from the launcher.

Thanks, but I stayed up super late and found an ISO file on it's own :)

Thanks for the help people!

The no-cd mod is really a better choice than an iso. Download the no-cd mod once, use it forever. With isos you always have to have the latest one, which means expansions can be a pain.

The fuck? This person uses a bunch of smilies, asks dumb questions, says "thanks", says "it's" instead of "its", spells "hobby" with an IE instead of a Y, typos all over, and you two are patiently assisting it. Is everything okay? I'm genuinely concerned.

I suppose "not awake enough yet to be meen" has something to do with it. Everyone feels a bit out of character when fatigue kicks in.

Nah, it's pretty simple. Be helpful to your enemies sometimes. It confuses the hell out of them. :)

The Betatard souped.  Now is a time of celebration and merriment.

I hate to point this out, but it fails at souping as much as it fails at everything else. In light of the Betatard's return, this thread and Maddyt should FOAD, DIAF, GTFO, etc.
