I was running (arrred!) Sims 3/WA patched up to 1.7.9/2.2.8 until my Awesomemod expired and I was forced to patch up to the most recent patches so I could install an updated version of Awesomemod. I figured since I was fully patching, I may as well install HELS while I was at it. So far so good.
Naturally, none of my (arrred) store content was showing up in-game, so I deleted all my DCCache files, the other four cache files, and everything in my Downloads folder. I ran some of my downloaded store .sims3packs through s3rc, and about half of them had no thumbnails in the launcher. Odd, but I can live with that. I then loaded up a new neighbourhood to test the objects in-game, and noticed that they had weird thumbnails, as if the picture of the object is too large to fit neatly inside the box. The actual objects seem to work okay, and I should be grateful that they're appearing at all, but I'm a bit OCD when it comes to aesthetic niggles like this, and I'd prefer to have them back to normal.
I've tried various combinations of the compressorizer, s3rc and decrapify, and I've even tried running it from cmd using the repair function, but nothing seems to work. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, so I'm not sure if it's just a side-effect of s3rc or if I'm just doing it wrong. Any suggestions?
