Is there any chance you could fix the square window that came with Lucky Palms? I haven't personally checked it out yet since I just installed the world last night, but apparently it can't be recolored and the wall cutouts appear to be messed up as well.
I am working on that at the moment. For now here's a fix I found on the BBS that works. Before I add it to my stuff I want to figure out how it works and add the other two presets to match the other window. It also has a window mask fix that I haven't confirmed is needed yet, I do know the other window needs it for the diagonal. *update* I got the window to be recolorable on my own!!! WOOT!!! So proud of mah self!!! Such a pain in the ass I tell ya. Anywho, it will be a few days until I finish it and post it, real life stuff. Makes me think maybe now I can make default replacement fixes for those few stairs. |

Typical EA voodoo. The gay guy gets a female lover while the hetero gets a male one.  I've only played with the WW for a few hours and I've got already about 100 things on my list I'd like to change about it. First the game should summon a lover of the appropriate gender for the sim. Then I'd like to get rid of the "nothing happened" outcome. The wish should either fail or succeed. That's what makes the object fun. The pixies throwing money at your sim, the creepy evil kid arising from the well and the frog leaping out of the well. Ok, so maybe I don't have a 100 things on my list but these two issues annoy me to death. I would also love it if sims could sit on the edge of the well. That would make for some really beautiful screenshots. I've done some more testing with the frog thing and I keep getting females for male sims. Also I've attached an XML tuning mod to get rid of the "nothing happened" thing. I changed it to show the fairies about 50% of the time(from 35%) and fireflies 100% of the time if there are no fairies. And when it rains wealth upon you I changed the amounts from 50-500 simoleons to 50-5000 simoleons. This particular XML is worded very straight forward so it's easy to change what you need. |

I just threw your fixes into my packages folder and scanned with Dashboard and it shows that it is conflicting with Store Stuff Part 3. Is this something that is known? I didn't see any post about it.
I'm not entirely sure what this store stuff part 3 is. If there is something in there that the fix fixes than yes, it would show up as a conflict, but a good one. Wow Jezzer that was intelligent Sweetie, I don't think you would recognize "intelligent" if it held you down and teabagged you. This is just pure awesomeness, made my night. @Tia - No one here is going to do this for you. If you don't know what the ccmerge file is then I suggest you shut the fuck up and figure it out. You are on the goddamn internet for fuck sakes, use a search engine, any one of them. Might I also add that I highly doubt you even bothered reading anything from the OP, I only mention the fucking thing four times, yes, four times. |

Oh, good to know. They were rather vague about the car keys in the chat.
Yes, but they always spawn? Also hetero male sims beware. Wishing for love will always summon a male lover.
They(pixies) don't always, they're tuned to show up about 60% of the time. I just had a frog turn into a female sim for my gay sim while testing. |

Updated OP, haven't actually tried it in game yet, should be OK though.
Well I've been testing notouching's files but the bloody sim won't get the love wish fulfilled. I suspect it's because she already had it granted before I had the files and probably won't get the wish fulfilled now that she's already in a romantic relationship. So far I had no luck with the WW spawning the pixies and fireflies on the ToP either. I believe the chanc eof them spawning is rather low though. I've gotten the lucky coin and frog to show up. I have no ides what the car keys are for? Does it give you a car? Does the well get fairies too or is it just the tree? I have a question about the casino because even though I have the casino from the store it still doesn't have any of the moodlets or the gambling skills. I have run into a problem with the wishing well at least maybe because its from the store to.
Moodlet or skill problems are due to ccmerge fail. And that means? Sorry I have no idea what that means. Solve that problem and things might start falling in to place. |

I've just been waiting for someone awesome person to upload the new world, I will update soon as I get it. I don't think the "breaking" is on purpose. Decrapping changes a teeny tiny number value inside of the packages to make the game think they're not store files. When it comes to accessories that's a bad thing because the object is looking for XYZ, but decrapping turned it into ABC, so technically it's not there. I just turn it back into XYZ.

Hello all,
I was just wondering if someone could help me out. I downloaded all the store files in .sims3pack format and try as I might, I cannot get it to work! I am running all EPs up to Pets on a 2011 Macbook Pro. I am tried unpackaging them and placing them into downloads, but this somehow deletes all the game contents leaving only a few store items that won't even load properly. As for CAS items, CAS won't load with the store content in my mods folder. When I try to install it normally, the installer says that some of them have been installed (though about half of the items/sets fail) but upon refreshing or starting the game the items are no longer installed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might get this to work?
Go back and follow the directions. You're doing it wrong. |

You need KT's fixes to be set up as an override, which means the computer needs to read the files first before it reads the files they affect. In my "Mods" folder, I have a "Packages" folder and an "Override" folder. My "Packages" folder has several sub-folders ("Hair," "Clothing," "Hacks," etc.). Putting my cc into subfolders like that serves two purposes: it makes it much easier to locate individual .packages, and subfolders are automatically lower in the file-reading hierarchy. Anyway, set up your overrides correctly, double-check your resource.cfg file to make sure it's set to read all folders and subfolders in the "Mods" folder, and everything should work correctly.
ETA: The computer would probably read your "Overrides" folder before your "Packages" folder anyway, because of the Magic of Alphabetical Order, but I tend to compartmentalize a lot.
I tried everything, even making an overrides folder and putting the files in there, and still the same problem. I did get something to work though, I put the store fix files in my packages folder and put the ccmerged file in dcbackup, and everything seems to work ok, except one thing seems to be invisible on the blackjack table and my sim won't gain any gambling skill from it. Not getting the gambling skill is ccmerge fail, not getting the accessories for the blackjack table is just plain fail. Just an update, I got the icon showing up for the skill. I will look into the autonomous thing tonight as well. I'm also going to change the way my fix is set up again, sorry bout that. I'm going to split up the decrapped problems from the actual problems. As always any and all suggestions about things are welcome. Edit: Sims do use the blackjack tables. They just like the slot machines better. I set the lot to big park and removed the slot machines, sims kept pouring in to play blackjack. |

In KT's instructions, it says the fix assumes all premium content was installed the same way. Well I use packages for all of mine, but I have a legit version of Hidden Springs installed, so my FoY is installed via the launcher. Would that be the problem?
No, you probably don't have a legit overrides folder. Try making a new folder in the folder you keep your store packages and put my fixes in there. |

I had my sims use the blackjack table for an entire sim day and none of them gained a single skill point in the gambling skill. Is that just me or are other people having this problem as well?
Just you? I was able to max out my sims' durring testing with no problem. I call ccmerged.package fail. |
