The tea and jam making premium content aren't working properly. Hope someone uploads a fix

I uploaded fixes in "KT's Store Fixes" thread. Pay attention to the instructions. Wink

@alexpilgrim, the 4Shared link to the Century Manor mansard roof visibility fixes no longer works. It seems 4Shared have shut it down. I certainly had a gripe with EA's rooftop shortcomings with the Mother Russia set vanishing when in town view, but I've downloaded your fix for that set.

As a side note, over the life of Sims 3, I have had luck with Granthes OMSP mod over a MTS when dealing with obstinate objects that are determined to remain visible while skipping through floors. When in buy mode, if you first place down an OMSP, then plonk your obstinate object down on top of that, then when you're back in play mode going up and down levels the object vanishes from sight. It's worth a try if all other tricks have failed.

Is it just me, or was that ceiling light in a previous set? And of course L-shaped stairs, something the base game could have used a long long time ago, are overpriced DLC.

I need some assistance with decrapifying several "newer" items from the store that include women's clothing items.

For example when I decrap the "Boardwalk Attire" set from the Gold version of Roaring Heights, found on page 26 of this thread. I get this in game:

As you can see or not see, the SIM is missing her body.

This also happens when I decrap Roaring heights Gold, also found on page 26. One of the full body dresses becomes invisible.

This also happens with the "Fashionable Fitness" set when I decrap it. But thankfully that set doesn't really need to be decrapped as it will install fine "untouched".

I know this probably isn't a case of PEBCAK because I strictly follow this guide here for decrapifying Store stuff:

http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,19170.0.html

Any suggestions please?

Could this be EA's way of countering Piracy of their Store content?

If you'll remember something similar happens with the "Villa Paraiso" lot, where you can't install the lot even after you decrapify it. Any attempt to install that lot (and I'm guessing same is true with the "Seaside Shanty" lot) will result with the launcher giving you the "install the required Premium Content associated with this style" error message.

But you know what?

Given that EA will end making store content this August they SHOULD remove the DRM on their stuff themselves, seeing as they'll eventually close the SIMs 3 store eventually like they did with TS2's store.

RFE: Addendum:

Based on this store page for the Boardwalk Attire Set...

http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:71059

... the broken/missing mesh is the one for the Sporty Skirt full body clothes.

Incidentally, there are supposed to be seven clothing items in this set, however the pictures on the store page as well as on the launcher seem to all be incorrect as two of the full body items for males seem to be duplicates of the two others in the set. Also one of the three dresses is also a duplicate of the other, too bad the missing mesh has to be the one from the non duplicated one.

Also in game there seems to be only four clothes available, the two male clothes and the two female clothes albeit one is missing its mesh. I'm talking of course of only the Boardwalk Attire Set, the one I've taken a screenshot of on my previous post was taken with the full on Roaring Heights Gold set that's why there are other clothes pictured above the one missing its mesh.

The Bohemian Garden set also suffers from this problem of a missing mesh for a female CAS part. This time it's the mesh for the Athletic Dress:

Also, I find it a bit strange that even though the mesh is missing, its pattern shows up as one of the presets on the Dainty Dress and Jacket full body CAS part from this same set.

I've also seen two other missing meshes from other store sets I collected & decrapped from the net, but have yet to pin point them down.

I will be back to post which ones they are once I've narrowed down from which sets they're from.

@tia: Yes that dress does come with the Bohemian Garden Set:

http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:72093&categoryId=11488

Also it took me a day & a half but I finally pegged down which two other sets in my stash are also suffering from this "missing mesh after decrafipication" issue:

Aside from the two I've earlier noted which are the "Sporty Skirt" dress from the "Boardwalk Attire" set (or the one from the full on Roaring Heights Gold package) & the "Athletic dress" from the "Bohemian Garden" set, it seems that the "Female wetsuit" from the "Surf's Up Sun and Fun Collection" set also suffers from this issue.

This is what it's supposed to look like:

But as I said once the sims3pack is decrapified, the mesh disappears and we're left with a female SIM with an invisible body.

And finally, the last item is definitely a rarity as I only got it from games4theworld and it is the rare Target exclusive True Champions Sportswear set found here:
http://www.games4theworlddownloads.org/ts3/store-2012/march2012.html

So yeah, no untouched version I'm afraid. And here's what it's supposed to look like:

Those Duplicates if you note are Elder versions.

I never had this issue when I decrapped, then again I stopped Decrapping and started converting my store stuff to Packages at the end of 2013. I never had this issue when Compressing and converting my store items to packages. I know someone did a fix for the missing mesh in the Bohemian Garden set for Decrap users.

@Levini: Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

I was able to find the fixes for all four outfits and thankfully they were all from one user, Clara

Her fix for the Athletic Dress -> http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,21330.msg603975.html#msg603975
Her fix for the wetsuit, the Sporty Skirt & two others I didn't notice were also broken -> http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,21330.msg603450.html#msg603450
Her fix for the Baseball outfit -> http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18888.msg588471.html#msg588471

BTW, could you please re-upload your packaged version of Villa Paraiso as your earlier provided links seems to be broken now?

For about 6 months, I've not been able to successfully extract multi-item Sims3packs from the Store. It appears to extract but, if you click on one of the files (obviously unnamed) and open in S3pe, I get a message about a missing identifier and that the item might be protected (as in a Store item). Extractor hasn't been updated in years - S3PE has. Please note that single-item Sims3packs will extract just fine. So, if EA is putting a protection on the packs now, wouldn't they put that protection on ALL items? Additionally, this also happens with the free Store packs, i.e. the Valentine's Day set.

Is anyone else having this trouble? Is this a store issue or should I pursue this with S3pe?

EDIT: For kicks, I went into my DCBackup file and tried to open some of those package files and while I was able to open some, others gave me the exact same message I got with the extractor. I can't imagine EA borking their own files or why bother with DCBackup (although EA does all kinds of things I don't get!) so I'm wondering if it isn't a S3PE issue with reading extracted files (BTW, I've redownloaded reinstalled S3PE multiple times). I'll check on that site but thought I should put it out there since so many people here are extracting files. Maybe someone knows a way around this?
