Why is the download section so disorganized? Wouldn't it make sense to create a folder within Pudding Factory, and within that folder create individual topics for each store set? It's all over the place, and it seems like a little organization would lessen the amount of stupid requests.

A few days ago, after patching and installing a few hacked store sets, my sims started having issues with aging. It typically happened when aging up a YAdult or Adult, but has happened before with younger sims.

Basically, the sim gets stuck on the 'Have Birthday' action, and if not for resetsim, would remain clapping and shouting for the remainder of the game. Sometimes, the sim will quickly change clothes, but will stay the same age, and remain stuck having their birthday. After resetting the sim and trying 'Trigger Age Progression', it will become stuck again. If I only reset the sim and put it to bed, the following night the process will begin again. Once, a sim progressed in age but this was not reflected in his age bar (it showed him with '0 Days' until becoming an elder, though he had already become one). In that case, each night the process repeated.

I initially started having problems after a particularly intense session of triggering age progression (I decided I needed less sims on my lot, so I rapidly aged two toddlers to death), but it seems unlikely that that could cause this sort of glitch. I am on a mac running the base game, WA, and Ambitions, and am fully patched. I have a lot of hacked store sets, but no mods.

What could be the problem?

I redownloaded the selection, plus a few additional sets, and was able to install most of them. I still was unable to install The QB/Cheer, Divalicious, Oktoberfest, and LoudFastFull. Thus, this is either an issue with recent content, or an issue with mediafire downloads. I haven't had time to test mediafire, but given that the only files that haven't worked have come from mediafire (the rest from megaupload), I think it might be a fair assumption. Strange.

My decrapified sets (which show in the game) show an image. Is that strange?

I tried checking the log, but either I don't have the proper program to view it (suggested programs were Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Opera, Textedit, tried all), or I just did not understand the info presented.

I will try redownloading them. It seems like the best bet. Thanks!

I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but I just recently started having problems installing store content. I have previously been able to install through the launcher, using decrapified .sim3packs. The error message I'm receiving is: "Installation failed: Please make sure your game has the latest Software Updates and try again." I've also received a message when initializing install, which goes something like: "There was an error when installing items. Please see log for details."

The specific sets I'm having an issue with are:
The QB and the Cheerleader
Beach Bedroom
Haute Hip
Divalicious
Fairy Bed Living CAS
Oktoberfest

I have been able to install other items, just not these. The image also never loads in the launcher.

I am on a Mac, decrapifying via Mono, and have purchased the base game, WA, and Ambitions. I recently installed HELS via a torrent. I have been able to install pirated store items after installing HELS, so I don't think it's that. What am I doing wrong?
