Missing Object Warning - CC gone AWOL

[Ellatrue]

I recently decided to start playing TS3 again, so I patched up to the current version of WA with the auto-patchination utility from MTS2, downloaded the latest store stuff and decrapified it with the batch file as per instructions found on MATY before installing it normally with the launcher, updated Awesomemod, and installed some new CC from MTS.

I got this "Missing Object Warning: Some objects could not be loaded and were replaced." Among the missing thus far seem to be the Riverview objects in my neighborhood such as the school and town hall, and some custom hair. This happened in both my saved neighborhoods. I quit without saving, hoping to fix things without having to hunt down and replace all the missing objects myself. Unlike a poster with similar issues, I do not have Ambitions, and I have not yet noticed any missing objects that are part of the game itself. CC is enabled, and I have not deleted any of my CC since I last played.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to isolate what exactly caused the problem since I did all of my updating at once. I will attempt to remove "suspicious" bits of CC to see if it helps, but presumably disabling it all or removing it all won't help me resolve the error of missing objects, since the packages I remove will then trigger the same error. I suspect something may have gotten screwy when the batch file decrapified my save games, or that something went wrong when I patched.

Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

ETA: I have the Riverview objects in .package format, although Riverview itself seems to be missing when I go to create a new neighborhood. Not sure if that is part of the same problem or not, as it still shows up in the launcher.

Did you try moving your CC to My Documents and re-writing your resource.cfg?

[Ellatrue]

Not yet, could that be the problem? I thought we weren't supposed to move our downloads until we installed Ambitions. 


My current resource.cfg is kind of a mess, but I believe it should read things in subfolders, if that's what you are after.

The patch that came out with Ambitions upgraded your game to use the new Downloads folder, whether you have Ambitions or not.

Thanks jeromycraig and Grimma, I followed the instructions for moving everything to the new downloads folder and rewriting resource.cfg. This doesn't seem to have fixed the problem, however. I'm still getting the same error when I load the neighborhood.

Ye olde methode still works, so shouldn't have been a problem.

Check the launcher to see if you have patched up right to the last available patch.

If your store stuff has been decrapified, so must save games be decrapified also.

That's all I can think of right now.

[jezzer]

Yeah, if she's playing a saved game, she might not have decrapified Ye Old Shitload of Files within the save and the library and whatnot.

[Ellatrue]

 I used the sr3cBatch.cmd file in the Sims 3 folder which I assume decrapified all the saves and library files, or at any rate it seemed like it was doing that. I've now dragged my saves in groups of 5 files or so over decrapify.exe just to be sure, and it seems to have solved the problem with the missing objects.

Thanks for your help.
