Just lurking about this week. Got sick, so I'm feeling icky, and most projects are on hold until I'm feeling better.

The creativity of this community never ceases to amaze me. Fantastic job all. I just spent a few hours downloading every lot, and every sim, and the world. Hee.
-
Every now and then I pop back in here because I'm telling other people about this wonderful group that helps people acquire store content, and then I find some of you who helped me out when I was acquiring my store content still here helping out newbies, and I really feel bad for not coming more often to help out. Y'all…
-
The current conversation here reminds me of how many things I've yet to use myself. I have the entire store, but there's still worlds, items that add functionality, and other things that I've yet to actually try out and use. I'll use that Old Mill lot one of these days. And use the pieces in a build someday. I haven't yet…

I haven't been around for quite a while, but it makes me so happy to come see this thread still going and active. <3 Y'all are wonderful.

In case anyone is interested... I've also been posting the converted patterns on my Tumblr. You can find them here: https://ktarsims.tumblr.com/tagged/packagedpatterns Additionally, I'm willing to take requests for converting patterns from the exchange. If the pattern creator is active, I'll generally ask permission before…

@Bily_jednorozec Thank you so much Bily! I'm so glad this was able to help you! @ZeeGee I have over 800 patterns, actually. I converted them all to .package file. I'll try to answer your questions. Categories that have a lot of patterns in them, or even have a lot of re-colorations of EA patterns saved, will take a minute…
-
Hmmm. I'm not entirely sure, because I haven't tried it. I suspect it would work fine, but I haven't actually tried merging pattern files with object files. My categories in CC magic are set so that the patterns merge with other patterns, but not other things.
-
I have all of my patterns installed via CC Magic, which merges the patterns together for playtime so that it doesn't bog down the loading too much, so I think they can be merged with other .package files just fine. ^-^
-
Yes! This community is so creative! It's super awesome for that reason. I'm SO glad that worked for you! I actually discovered that it seems to be the PTRN tag that the game draws the category name from, and not the XML file... or at least it seems to be, but I decided to keep editing it in both places just to be sure,…
-
All updated! I added the link in two places, and also added you in the credits at the end. ^-^ Thank you so much for pointing that out! Also! Thanks for offering to help me with the store stuff! You're right. There's always so much to learn. I just sometimes have to be in the right frame of mind to tackle something new or…
-
That's actually a great idea. I have a text file that I used, but I don't remember where I got it from. Oh! I know, I should add a link to the Pattern Filing post where I list all the categories and what types of patterns I assign to those categories! Let me get that link for you and post it here for now. Also! I figured…
-
You are SO welcome. I have actually just recently finished my conversion project of converting all the patterns I had installed in my game to .package file. 810 patterns from the exchange converted and all working just fine as .package files! So if you have any difficulty, please feel free to ask questions! Either here or…
-
OMG. This worked. I didn't even have to disable preferring HTML over flash, I just had to enable running all flash if it's set to allow. I already previously put in the whitelisting. Suddenly I get ads again! Thank you so much!
-
I doubt @SimGuruDrake is purposely ignoring it because she wants to. Having been a moderator for a couple of online communities, and having worked at Playstation once upon a time, usually to do anything it has to be approved by other people, and if they're withholding that approval or insisting upon waiting for some…
-
@BenjaminBankss You're welcome! ^-^
-
Just a note to say that I've updated the tutorial. I found I'd missed a couple of things which were causing the multi-layer patterns to not work correctly if more than one of them was installed at a time.
-
You are quite welcome! ^-^
-
I remembered someone else tried so hard, and failed... so I thought I'd gift it to you on their behalf. ^-^ Enjoy!
-
@Nomiko13 @taratownie ^-^ You are most welcome.

You are most welcome! Have fun!

Sims4 just lacks too many things that I've gotten used to in Sims3. I actually tried it out once, and even found the basic interface tools just non-intuitive and confusing. I don't even know how to do everything yet in Sims3. There are still some things I'm learning about, so Sims4 is just... unappealing by comparison.
-
This honestly seems like someone made an error when the forums were re-arranged, and it should just be fixed. But for the people with the authorization to make the call, it probably seems like a low priority thing. =/ It's really a small thing to ask though, guys. For the community.
-
If you're looking for active Sims 3 players, you might try searching the #ts3 tag or something similar on Tumblr. Pretty active Sims3 community there. ^-^
-
Lots of Sims3 players still around. Just the way they re-shaped the forums makes it sometimes harder to find us.
-
@HSmith2016 Have you tried using a different browser? Seems like the website is getting more buggy these days and sometimes using a different browser can help.
-
It can be a big project! But it will keep the bloat out of your launcher, and make it so much easier to find a specific pattern when you go looking for it. I'm actually planning to try and contact the pattern creators whose patterns I use the most of and seek permission to host the .package version of their files…
-
If they all had the same thumbnail, that probably means they were installed as .package files and the package files weren't edited before installation. This is actually the reason why converting patterns to .package files is complicated. With other CC you can simply extract the .package files and install them. With…

Haha! No, I think that must be a conversion of a mirror from a different game. Let's see.. Ah, here we go. It looks like this: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9041100 It isn't a magic mirror, just a gilt mirror with dragons on it. However, I might be just a little bit into dragons... so when I saw it, I…
-
Yes, they were exclusive items that there wasn't any other way to obtain them. I actually discovered them because I would browse through exchange objects, and I came across a few re-colored items that I then couldn't figure out where they came from. I googled them to figure it out, and that's where they were from. Dragon…

^-^ You are so welcome.
Howdy, Stranger!
