    K2, I know what you mean! I have been trying to find out why people were saying it didn't work, but every thing I have used it for has been fine. I know there is a problem using it to check worlds, but otherwise I don't see the problem. Sorry you were scoffed at. *hugs*

    I did notice that the exchange download I tried doubled in size, and the file name didn't appear, just the http:// extension instead.

    Springfairy, I think you should wait before you delete your stuff. Everyone is in the same boat. Hopefully they will fix it soon!

    K2, Oh noooooooo! :cry: Sorry to hear that! I feel your pain. Is there anyway to get them back? Maybe the Gurus can help? *hugs*

    Springfairy, do not delete anything from your studio. I am sure the issue will be resolved soon. Hang in there! *Hugs*

    I have been told that if you click on 'Add to game' button to download the lot/sim then the files download normally. Then there is no corrupt files anymore. It is only the 'Save file' button that is causing the corruption.

    Just to echo a couple thoughts expressed and give my opinion:

    Leave your studio alone. Do not access the Exchange right now, either uploading or downloading. No reason to panic at this point. Just take a break.

    As for the viability of Custard:

    It works beautifully with every expansion and stuff pack installed.
    It has one limitation I know of: it does not seem to catch custom skin color.

    Also, you cannot Custard worlds, as they are not actually Sim3Packs, but links.

    As many of you are, I am very happy with Custard, as it it amazing what files can include without the knowledge of the creator. Stuff hides, it is malicious. If those who use Custard don't already, also use Dashboard; it cleans the caches of your game which can literally suck the CC you cleaned out back in, like it is in storage.

    Dashboard was also created by Delphy who created Custard.

    If I am in anyway in error, do inform. I hope only to help.

    Can anyone confirm this for sure? Not saying that I don't believe you, Dach, I just want to be absolutely sure, so hearing another person or two confirming that it's fixed would make me feel better.

    AE, I just checked and I can tell you that files that were coming up w/numbers replacing the names, and twice the file size, are now back to normal. Normal name, normal file size and no sign of corruption through Custard. :)

    Hi tabo679,

    I think you will be fine, hon, the add to game button was still working and you cannot Custard worlds. Scrolling through your launcher installation tab will of often give you a clue as to how much CC you have. Los Aniegos and Setra are really good worlds, I think it's fine to reinstall them. If you have any questions, my page is not locked and I'd see it there first.

    Good luck,

    Sharon
