If you can't find the test version, you shouldn't be using it.

Something EA got right by utter accident: The spiral stairs stack.

Missing files are in the file "S3S_U12_TheMissingFiles.7z" archive.

Fell behind a bit. I think I have everything, though. As usual, let me know if there's anything missing.

September stuff is still uploading. ETA 15 minutes.

Hey now, I use a mac, and I supply the raw files. Of course, I also decrapify using my windows install on parallels. The lack of technical intelligence of the vocal mac users just amplifies my opinion that macs shouldn't be widely used as a personal computer.


Uploading now.

The 4Shared has been updated to date with moar July items.

http://www.4shared.com/dir/7urUdJzW/S3P.html

I think I got everything that I've been missing since July 4. If there's anything I missed, however, please let me know and I'll address it next chance I get.

The reason I started my 4Shared in the first place was because there were too many forms of the package files floating around and I wanted clean files to do it myself. The reason for this? Half the package files were broken or made with old versions of the s3rc and had missing or broken items in them, such as counters or the fences. Since then, I've been decrapifying and installing sims3packs in the launcher anyway. It isn't particularly hard at all to decrapify using jfade's tools and it just makes more sense to manage them yourself rather than rely on someone else. Same goes for package files.

The 4Shared has been updated to date with the July items - two sets and one freebie. As usual, let me know if I'm missing anything and I'll address it as soon as I have a chance.

Replace ".exe" with ".dmg" and you have the direct link.

You can start by giving the ass end of those commas some breathing space.

They're labeled with the same convention as the first post in this thread, where I originally started getting the files. Therefore, you can generally use that post to measure what is in the archive. Example: U13 is the 13th update. It is all of the items from the 13th month since Sims 3 has been out, which also happens to be this month. It also happens to be a partial month, since it isn't over yet. All files to the date on that 7zip are present from this month's updates. I have them separated by major sets and everything else, essentially the same as the main update post does. Starting with items from July 1 and on, I will have a U14 folder going and updated as I have time.

Mmm. I must have been blind then. I was poking around looking for it the other night when it happened to me and didn't find it. I'll poke around some more next time I have the game running though. I eventually just said fuck it and nuked/replaced the lot. I stand corrected.

My 4Shared has been updated to date with the Dr. Pepper items. As usual, let me know if I'm missing anything and I'll address it as soon as I have a chance.

This is actually an eaxian bug. The solution, if you want to call it one, that I found on the BBS was to just nuke and redrop the firestation. Alternatively, the only way you can buy the Woo Woo 400 is to have a sim actually own the fire station's lot, at which point it automagically becomes available in the buydebug catalog.

The preference is to have untouched files so you know you're not getting one where, say, the counters in the Ultra Lounge Kitchen and Bath pack are broken from a previous version of s3rc. It is strongly suggested all over this site to decrapify the items yourself. It isn't particularly hard, and this way everyone knows that there is a clean version of the file available in the event something were to change again, or if they had to reinstall them for whatever reason x.

Oh, and no, they don't work in the launcher without being decrapified first unless they belong to you.

If you'd have read the thread, instead of jumping in with more of the same, you'd notice that he doesn't have Ambitions installed yet. We all determined the school being a park an Ambitions only issue. Logical leap? Wait til he installs Ambitions to bitch about it! Actually, don't bitch at all, everyone else has done it enough.

I'm going to have to agree with Shouty that the presence of Ambitions in our games is the missing factor here.

I imagine you have to log in on the launcher and/or from within the sims store. It is a nasty, and utterly pointless, piece of shit that EA decided to throw in to make sure we were paying attention.

It works when you have the directory right.

Thanks for the three files. I'm adding them and re-uploading now.

I see it on the alpha server, but the one on beta is still the previous version. FYI.

Yeah. I think I plopped them in June's stuff. I saw your post from the other day and it spurred me to get the damn thing updated.

I've updated my 4shared with vanilla sims3packs to date.
http://www.4shared.com/dir/7urUdJzW/S3P.html

I didn't include these because they aren't vanilla. If anyone has a copy of the vanilla sims3packs of these, I'll add them to the June 7z file and upload again.

These files are in the new June6 7z along with the Ambitions special edition bonus item.

If you notice I'm missing something, please let me know and I'll add it as soon as I get a chance.

I actually started the game up without that file anywhere after a functional test version of Awesomemod came out and discovered that you don't need the d3dx9_31.dll file anymore for core mods. AM is fully functioning without it.
