Are these files still clean/vanilla, or have they been decrappified?

I just tested a file and it wouldn't let me open it with s3pe until I ran it through sr3c, so it looks like they might be clean. Confirmation would be nice, though.

Would store stuffs work if processed with the multi-installer? do you need to decrapify them first or not? or is there a special program that can convert them to .package?

To my knowledge they are all completely clean and unmodified, though I'm not the primary source for all of them. If any are questionable it's the batch in March of this year.

I've been looking for an answer to my problem for hours and couldn't find any. So please help me! Or at least tell me if there is a solution and I'll look for it until my eyes bleed. I got Lucky Palms and the casino from here, I decrapified them and installed them via Sims3Launcher. They do show up in my game but it automatically replaces objects with default ones, even though I can find them in buy mode. So, basically, my casino is full of tables and chairs. And it doesn't even look like it should from outside. What am I doing wrong? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the base game and EP's 3 times already. I'm out of ideas.

Why is everyone so quick to do the uninstall/reinstall thing? Just go into your library folder, find the casino and decrap it.

First of all, thanks for replying. That's a first. I did decrap both Lucky Palms and the casino before installing. And I just installed the world again. It recognizes it as an object now. Yay... Oh and it doesn't show up in my game anymore. Should I not install worlds through the launcher? Or not decrap them? Is there a tread about installing arr worlds 'cause I couldn't find it. And I guess you mean the Library in Documents. There's only one .package file there, Doesn't have a name, just numbers. I feel so stupid now...

[Handlangerin]

I never decrap the venues, because of the same problem. Try to make a .package file of the separate lot.
World: Use CompressorizerRedux.exe (check decrapify) and then install it with the launcher. That method should help.

[kissing_toast]

I dunno, I've never really had a bad relationship with the launcher like the lot of you do here, not just this post but in general. I use it to install only store stuff, all as decrapped sim3packs. The only problem I've had is with the lot only types, those just get turned into packages and plopped in the library. Every world has installed successfully for me with the launcher.

Thanks for the CompressorizerRedux thing, that helped. And about the casino now... I used MTS_Delphy installer to turn it into .packages, but there's like 20 of them. Should I combine them into one and put them in my Mods folder, or just a specific one? Thank you so much for your help by the way, I really appreciate it.

The casino is 0x1daa41b84d333ba7494cccbce03fb921 and should be placed in your Library folder. The rest of the files are the individual items from the set and can be placed in Packages, if that's how you want to install them. I've never had any issues installing Store lots as decrapified Sims3Packs, though.

For future reference, it's really easy to open the individual files with s3pe to see what they are.

[Painkiller]

Custard can be used with decrappified sims3pack to see what each package is in a glance. I have no problem installing worlds and lots like the casino as decrappified sims3pack in the launcher and all the items are there. Maybe you're missing an EP/SP update?

[sweeney_todd]

Ok I tried everything you said. I ended up having 3 casinos in my game, none of them worked properly. I give up. Thank you for your help though, it was much appreciated. I've never had any problems with decrapped .sims3packs so far. It's weird.

The Happily Ever After- Heroic male Hair is really similar to the Hawk Wavy store hair converted to adult. http://sim-uploads.blogspot.fr/2011/12/wavy-hawk.html
Is it the same mesh with merely a few edits?

Well I checked the hair in the game and the result is... funny. It's the same mesh than Jasumi's apparently, you cannot have both hairs installed at the same time; only the last one loaded will appear! However EA's version is badly adjusted and have two "holes": strands of hair that impales the sim and looks like holes. Crappy stuff, I'll remove the set's hair and keep Jasumi's version which is perfect. Me not surprised. *facepalm*

On the downloads thread, the mediafire link's down for the true champions sportswear bonus content from Target. (pg. 20 on main thread, uploaded by icantbebothered) This normally wouldn't be a problem, since I already have the pack -- except in the process of the initial decrappying, afBodySportsbaseball decided to skip out on me.This led to an invisible mesh in game.  All the other clothes worked fine. Tried another multi-install at it -- repackaging it and rewriting does nothing at all. Either a bad decrap or a bad file. Unfortunately, I have no basis of comparison, as I didn't keep the original clean file.

Thus, I plea for a reupload. But I'll also take the explanation that the mesh never worked. I also will take any s3pe fixing ideas.

Really, whatever you can be bothered with. Beggars can't be choosers, and of course, I can grid it out of the game in the meantime. Thanks.

This is a known issue and getting a new copy won't help. Clara made a standalone fix. KT's store fixes package includes one as well.

I am gettimg fed up with people sending me pm's complaining about having to sign in to 4shared etc to get the stuff.  If you cannot be bothered to get a fake login id, then go buy the items yourself and stop annoying me with your whining.

Sorry I don't want to bother you, I had downloaded the lucky simoleon before it was deleted.  I was wondering if you were having any issues with when they play the casino that they get white blocks coming up where the actions are.  This is what I am seeing when my sims play the casino table.

Sorry don't want to bother you was just curious.

Do you ever get "curious" about what the "Search" box at the top of the screen does?

I figured as much, call it living in South America, Peru and having bad internet connection.  So I guess I am not the only one having this issue?  Is there a way to fix it?

Yes, I did search before I asked the question, I had deleted and reinstalled everything.  I search before I ask any or thought it was a redundant question.

You didn't search very hard, because this has been answered.  Look for store fixes.

I finally have the  Hotel Dining Table, (simpoint mystery bundle), but will have to wait a while before being able to buy 2 of the largest bundles to get the arcade machines

http://www.mediafire.com/?mdrewzkdx702j5c

Apparently the Table from the Hotel Set (simpoint bonus bundles) was not on my 4shared account so have uploaded it now

http://www.4shared.com/file/FZGrhrL6/tableDiningHotelRound.html

Can someone re-upload please, both files are invalid.

[GrangersBook]
