    Should this take up a large portion of space on my hard drive? I've lost almost 10 GB after installing this program.

    Very strange. This should not happen. I've reinstalled and couldn't even tell how much it takes up. The pictures are the biggest files. The XML File is about 3 MB (barley).

    Really don't know how that happened. I would suggest uninstalling the program and see if that frees the whole 10 GB

    @elanorbreton: Looks great. I sent you a gift yesterday with my email. Did you get it.

    Wow, good job you said or I wouldn't have known. Didn't get a mail but I just checked and the gift is in my purchase history - thank you, it's lovely. I'll include a pic of it with my items, lol!

    Have done about 50 pics so far, a very small dent indeed if there are 3000!

    OK, I'm done copying the pics and have uploaded: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?65kk74qwh295p80

    It's around 700 pictures so far. If everyone chips in, we'll get them together.

    I'll go picture hunting on this forum later tonight.

    No, and you've got me intrigued now... are you on Facebook? Cos you could message me privately on there. I'd give you my email, but not on here lol. Or is there private messaging at Nraas? Or I've got an old profile at TSR, I'm sure I can still get in there...

    Nraas should work. Same Nick on there.

    I'm also on MTS, don't have a TSR account.

    It didn't. I clicked on the install/update store data (I think that's the right one), and changed the path for images and since I use the CC Magic, I had it check the entire EA folder under documents (now that I think about it...that wasn't too bright of me.) It started to work on the files, then crashed. My computer sent me an error message telling me I didn't have enough space on my hard drive and when I checked, I noticed I had lost about 10GB.

    I uninstalled, reinstalled. Did a system restore back to that morning. It didn't help, so I'm assuming the extra data is in my documents folder somewhere.

    Ah, ok. I think I know what happened. The program probably copied all your stuff to the base path of the program. I told hubby to get rid of the install/update store data button. It causes more trouble than it worth.

    Go to s3sbroswer folder in documents and check if you have any ea files in there and if so, simply delete them. You can actually delete the entire folder and start over from there. If it's not there, search for any file you had and see if it's in a second folder on your HD

    Hi Crin

    Hope you are feeling better today :)

    I was sound asleep while you've been busy sorting out the image problems I have been having. Woke to find you have put 700 images into a .rar file.

    Spent 30 mins trying to find a free program that would expand the file for me. No luck unfortuantely. So I think I will have to be patient and go to EA site and download each item and put it into the sub folders manually. I will let you know how that goes soon.

    Thankyou so much for all your hard work and while your not feeling the best.

    Take care

    - SunnyBelle :)

    This should work: http://www.rarlab.com/

    It's free for 60 days. After that you get a nag screen.

    I am feeling better. Still exhausted but other than that I'm fine.

    It did create a duplicate folder in the same folder it was pulling the information from. Thank you!

    Glad you found it.

    I've gotten lots of ingame pics. If anyone else wants to provide some, please concentrate on clothing. I have no new ones there, only the ones I've already uploaded.

    if anybody is intrested for the store set and compilation pictures
    i finaly have all the pics in place.

    Minus some pics of store sets that where not availeble to me becouse they were
    American store sets.

    I just used the standard size that they were on the sims 3 store.

    Also since i never shared files on the net can sombody tell me where i could upload the pack of pics?
    the file is just slightly under 6mb in rar format.

    Note

    crinrict if you have gmail or skype i could mail you teh rar file so you can put the files up yourself.

    anyway if you can receive these files by teh above means let me know

    I tired your S3S Browser, and something happened to where the program crashed my computer. I tired to reinstall it again, but it said the program was already installed. Can't find it, however. I was able to uninstall it via the Control Panel.

    And eventually, I was able to install it. But the interface is something I'm not a fan of. Sorry.

    Is there a "lite" version of this where it is just a checklist of sorts? I'm thinking something that has the interface of the Sets page in the browser, but when you click the sets, you get a list of item names with thumbnails rather than large images in a metrics table.

    EDIT: Here's a really bad MSPaint mock up of a "lite" version that I would like to see, if at all possible.

    Thanks for the idea and feedback.

    There's isn't something like this atm.

    I can export almost any list you want (with pics or without) but trouble is that I would need to redo the list every time there's an update in the store.

    If there are more people who'd want something like this, I'll be glad to look into it but I can't do every user individually.

    Well, it's not "every unique user" kind of thing. It's more of a "Here's a version with a ton of information" and a "Here's a version that's just a checklist with bare minimum information." That's all.

    In the mean time, I'm going to try my best not to go insane while I double check my DLC.

    I'm unsure what you are saying.

    Anything that's different from the way it is now, needs to be programmed or exported separately. The UI would need to be changed to make it look like the way you want it.

    If I understood something wrong, please try to rephrase.

    Hi crin.... loving your software, its great. I have just install the 700 item pics and they are all behaving as should be :)

    Look forward to more as you release them. Its still works fine without them. Its just nice to have the visual but statistically its working well.

    I have noticed that a few sets aren't showing as owned but its easy to fix up. They seem to be sets I own and have downloaded but are not installed.

    Anyway... Brilliant... Have spent time with this as my game still seems unstable with the new patch. Looking forward to the fix but plenty to keep me occupied here till they do.

    Many thanks to you and your hubby for all the hard work.

    Sunny :)

    @SunnyBelle: Thank you. I'm working on more pics. The program can only find stuff if you have either the Sims3Packs in the folder you tell the program to scan or the according package files in the dcbackup folder.

    Also there are many sims3pack names I'm still missing. mrsrednotdead sent me a long list and they will be in the next version of the db file I'm releasing this weekend.

    Really wish I was more techno wise, then I could help also. I have tried to understand the naming in the excel spreadsheet of images but have no idea how you came about them and then how do they get used from that sheet. See told you I am just not techno wise, hehe :oops: BTW... I am working on it, lol :roll:
