I keep getting Error message 9, which the readme tells me is
(I only just installed this)

I've tried several times but all within about half an hour - I know, I know, can't come running with an issue yet. But I'm just asking: does it run on some system of timing out? (Forgive my technical incompetence when it comes to matters like this.) Because I live in a wonderful </sarcasm> country where it costs a fucking fortune to have an open-line-connection and 20GB isn't enough for my grandma, I'm on dial-up speed, so I'm wondering whether that'll effect it? If it will, guess I won't be able to use it for another bloody week or so.

I don't know whether this is the right space, but I've put all of my Store-bought items in here along with the picture given on the store with the same name as the file.

I haven't done anything to the files, they're just as is (haven't even changed names or anything) so to use them I think you have to run through the recompressor.

All are either tops or hair for females, T/YA/A (I ran out of Points before getting to the other sections - oops!)

Here it is: http://www.4shared.com/file/ha55AmZc/chaucolai_Store_unrecompressed.html

EDIT: Just noticed that the name of this thread is "The The Sims.." With all the grammar discussions going around, surely I'm not the first one to notice this?

I personally don't get why this is so hard - maybe I'm thinking something different from the original posters :/

All I'm thinking of is at the beginning of the TS3 Store Download thread there be a small passage explaining how to download (from what I've garnered) the three download types (I know .package, but have no idea about the rest! .Sims3Pack I thought it reported back to EA & I have no idea what the other one is, let alone how to install it) and where to put it or whatever. A quick thing for dummies.

"Put the .package files in PF/EA/Sims/Mods/Packages after installing framework. .Sims3pack install ___________. .theotherone __________)



Okay, it does seem that's what the original person asked for (I only just realized the threads are below me - heh, can you see why I want a "For Dummies" guide?) but I honestly don't get what's so hard about this.. can someone explain?

I second the request! I've been trying to figure out how but whenever I do get another thread with someone else asking, mainly there's the "Search for it, noob".
But I have. All I get is a thing to search for it.
I guess I'll always be a lesser mortal :/ but in the meantime, I'd really love to learn how to install that stuff! I've also got a few Sim Store items that I can upload (if and when I find them!) My games so laggy atm that I'm lucky to play a decent game then have to reboot every time after I play a game - and my computer is brand spanking new from the beginning of this year!

I want to get the Sim Store content but not have it reporting to EA and basically being able to install it.

(Sorry if this post makes no sense, I'm rather sleep-deprived atm)
