Anyone have experience with installing/backing up store content ciane's way? I have had a few issues come up now that I'm all done... and I don't want to start my game if I can't figure out the issue.
I know I should, and probably will in the future, use Ciane's method; (she's awesome) but for now I just backed up my entire Sims3 folder to my external hard drive, so I am no help.
@tac612, why don't you ask in the Tech section? They are sometimes slow, but give great solutions.

Yeah, I followed Ciane's method and finished downloading yesterday, but now I put everything back in and I'm running into issues... I've posted in the Reinstall the Store thread... I guess I'll just need to be more patient...
@tac612, I hope not either! I have noticed how much you have posted in Ciane's thread, (although I haven't read anything at this point) and I realize how much you have invested in backing up everything. I admire you for that and hope someone helps answer your questions soon.

Thanks! I feel like I've been such a pain I tried to make one big post this time and I think I posted all my concerns. I'm thinking I may just have to reinstall the worlds portion of things and copy that folder over, which I may have missed originally. It would really stink to have to do it all over again.
@tac612, I can't even imagine what a pain it will be when it's time for me to do what you're doing. Hopefully you won't have to redo it all and that you can get answers for your questions.

@HSmith2016 It's a pain, but worth it in the end (my husband can't believe I've spent all my extra time this week working on it..but let me tell you, Ciane's spreadsheet - I used the newer version - and ZeeGee's videos really helped!!) Good news though, for you and @Okblondee7 I just made my first sim in years, moved them into the house, and all store content is there!! Which now tells me that it's just the worlds and venues I screwed up on, and I'm pretty sure I know where I screwed up. I may have to reinstall those, but that's easy enough. At least if you two get stuck at all I can hopefully be of help if you get stuck.
Ohh boy does the massage table and Sauna thing break the game by making the energy need go up faster than a good night's sleep with the meditative sleep lifetime reward.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone! Hope you're all doing well today. Started out kind of snowy, but it's clearing up outside now. I'm sick of winter, wish it would go away. Tired of the power outages and the cold and the snow. Blah... I need sunshine and warmer days.
Top 5 is updated. I hope everyone is getting their thank you tags on my other page. I sometimes don't get notifications on tags, and sometimes don't see that someone has said something to me for days. I hope you all know how much I appreciate all the gifts I've been given.
@Teanias, thank you for my beautiful hairs! I can never get enough!
Also, I have a question. My launcher doesn't seem to want to install my newest content no matter how many times I click install? I've closed it out, logged out and back in, but still.
Thanks to @Teanias for the gifts! Was able to get the Victorian set for 55 points.
Now I think I just have one set left (Worlds Collide, which has no CYS, and so I need to build up points lol!) and just the Up the Ante compilation (so I'm saving up for the casino as well). That and a bunch of the individual items, which are on my wish list.
Thanks so much to everyone who has helped me out over the last months! Almost there!
Hey sweeties
For those who have been asking and waiting patiently (looking at @SjappielovePaul and @HSmith2016 in particular) I am writing the latest updates to Lily right now so watch this space So sorry it has taken so long, my days were flooded with all sorts of unforeseen tasks that left me with little time to spare!
Hope everybody is well
@Loveandhate your welcome and are you having trouble with the launcher coming up to install ? Because I have had that problem I have to bring the launcher up like I do when I want to play then go to the store and install stuff to the launcher!
@OriginalMara your welcome I am glad you could get the set!
I've shown this on a couple of other threads but after seeing others share their creations here I wanted to share the lighthouse I made for djsdragongirl it was supposed to be Gothic but ended up more Chinese looking I still love it though! http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/14686915/#Comment_14686915
Under the lighthouse pictures is the household I made to live there the 2 cats are really cute!
Oh and the link to them on the exchange is at the bottom under the household pictures!
@Teanias I live the lighthouse!! definitely getting that for my game!
Edit: I also saw your little farm house one, so I'm getting that, too!
@Loveandhate I wish I could help! I also do as @Teanias does and open the launcher as though I'm going to play and then go into the store and download/install.

Anywho, I guess I can focus on ads now...
@ZombieMew , good luck with your job search!

I am now simming and it is time to give the spa venue a whirl.
