The TS3 Store: post your questions, updates, and tech help here

[runesong]

I hate posting here more than you know, but I've spent the entire day searching the internet for a download I saw quite a while back.  It was 1/2 of a spiral staircase, used in a foundation to go down to the basement.  At the time I thought "what a great idea".  Why oh why did I not download that?  Does anyone else remember seeing that and if so, where?

Are you referring to Inge and Gosik's Half-landing stairs for cottages? You can find that at Inge's site, Simlogical, http://drealm.info/simlogical/sl/Sims3/StairScript/GosikIngeCottagehalflandingstairsscripted.htm. You'll have to read the information at the link given to determine if it can be used as you are hoping.

No, I have the half-landing stairs.  What I saw was a section of a spiral stair that was made to put between the first floor and the basement in a home with a foundation.  God, I knew I was going to want that!

This isn't the WCIF thread.  The WCIF thread is marked with a helpful "WCIF."

I am trying to install the Quantum Power Pack from the DOWNLOADS thread, but the launcher keeps giving me a message about it being unsuccessful. Am I supposed to use the launcher to install the files? Or am I supposed to simply put them in the Downloads folder?

If you actually read the TFM of "RTFM" fame, you'd know what to do.

Nevermind. I figured it out on my own. Thanks anyway.

In BuyDebug !  It seems that we have to install the new arvastable ourselves.

[Roobs]

You should be able to purchase them from the supermarket.

There's a new Make Me An Offer "feature" with exclusive items in it.

Hip Hat:

Easygoing Tee:

Why is the hat 9MB, and why did I get a Vube? downloader offering to download for me?

[Clara]

Most of the single store hairs are 5-10MB each.

I don't know about the downloader, I tried downloading it myself from another account and didn't get that. Must be one of the Mysteries of Mediafire.
The hat file is 10,664 KB, and all I added to the zip was a very small jpg. Apparently 7z can't compress it any further. No idea why the Store makes their hairs so huge. It's not like they have incredible detail or anything.

If there's an elder version included that could be why, they include a whole other copy of each hair so that the elder version gets a proper grey hair thumbnail. Ya know, instead of just enabling the YA/A hair for elder.

New set in the store, Mother Russia. It's currently on sale for 1600 points.

[Clara]

Sounds like they've fixed some of the problems with exclusives not showing up in Make Me An Offer. For anyone who owns most of the store and wants to give it a shot, if it's just showing you an elder version of the Straw Boater hat, apparently buying that offer will allow exclusives to show up after that.

The link for medifire on jaldeer Mother Russia Set in the sharing post is set to private so it doesn't work.

There is a new town coming out on the 12th of Dec.  Roaring Heights.  http://store.thesims3.com/roaringheights?utm_source=Forums&utm_medium=Thread&utm_campaign=Roaring+Heights+Pre-Launch&utm_content=TS3+Store

[Andistyr]

Just wanted to say thanks to Lissy & mistyk for getting those "exclusives".  I've been trying that stupid Make-Me-An-Offer thing since last Thursday.  I only got one bonus & it was that Cool Chap Cap that Lissy shared.  I got the impression you were at least suppose to get at 1 exclusive offered once every 5 offers.  That certainly wasn't the case for me.

[Frank]

Has it ever been determined,outside of the worlds, how many sets have been put out so far? I googled liked crazy the other night for the answer,came up with nothing.

[jezzer]

It's really hard to determine.  EA has bundled the sets into multiple packages and releases in an obvious attempt to confuse people into paying for the same content twice.

[witch]

Alot of sets have come out in various ways.  Individually or in compilations.  Like Jeezer said, they've released some twice in a compilation of various store themes, trying to get people to buy it again.  But, 4 years of Store Stuff, is alot.  Not to mention, they're not done yet.  I hope they will be by next summer.

I am extremely disappointed in you, Jaldeer.

I wish the store would sell alots.  I would like those alots.

Anyone can tell me what kind of mods can conflict with Granpa's Grove?
Without any mods installed but KT fix + grandpa's fix by notouching installed, the orange tree founded in buydebug is working. Installing my other different mod, the orange tree don't work.
Before installing grandpa's grove I haven't any problem. If without mod orange tree is working, I think my ccmerged is good.

So, can anyone help me?

[notouching]

Sounds like you have either an outdated gardening mod that specially affects the Store plants, or an outdated copy of the ccmerged in your Mods folder somewhere.

Thanks, I found the mod. Is near_instant_skill (that contain gardening skill) and store_near_instant_skill from MTS, but both are updated. It is strange, because before installing Grandpa's Grove mods was working fine with all others store content even with premium content.
(I tried mod by mod, launching the game almost 25 times). I eliminate this mod and everything work fine now.
