ARG. I was wondering what the heck that stupid doll was in my game.. I've only downloaded a few homes for whom I thought were trusted people.
I have no issues with my game -knock on wood-, but I'll get around to checking whenever I have time.. I have ~300 sims3packs installed.. So it will take awhile to check those. Not to mention the other 700 package files I have .
First I would like to thank Magician and glitzyangel,
This is extremely helpful. I would have been fully unaware without you guys posting this. Although I didn't have much in my studio now I'm left to almost nothing, because of this doll, but I rather get rid of the bad and bring in good to share with others.
I found my culprit thankfully. I am sad to report, as I thought, that it was a very trusted and talented house creator.
The file is: "Coastal Living by Allure" it was a flip by Evergreen226, so it is possible that Evergreen passed along that horrid doll to Allure, or that Allure had it already.

It could have come from anywhere Carli. Don't blame Allure or Evergreen226. They probably didn't even know they had it. They are probably in the same boat as you.
My sister also has the doll in her game. She is not experiencing any problems and doesn't want to delete it because she thinks she has the newer/fixed version of it. The bad file is as follows:
0x038a68fe04da61a6aa65f939d77fbc37.package
Does the the new/fixed file share the same name or is it different? This is the file she has in her game. If the new/good file has a different name (thus proving that she has the bad/corrupted file) this might convince her to take it out.

I wasn't blaming her? Thanks for jumping on me though. I simply said that it was either Evergreen who passed it to Allure, or Allure already had it from elsewhere. I did not blame them. I only said that it was in her file. I thought I was being nice for warning people about the file. Because if it is in one of their uploads, what's to say it isn't in many more of them because who is to say when they got the borked custom doll?
But I guess that's where being nice and warning people gets me now a days <__<.

I apologize for misunderstanding you.

It's okay, I should have been more clear about what I was saying.. and a little less angry cause of having to wash lots of dishes from my grad party .

The bad one is listed in an earlier post. It looks the same to me. I copied and pasted it here.
0x038a68fe04da61a6aa65f939d77fbc37.package
I suggest she search and remove this file and download the fixed doll if she still wants it.
That's what I thought as well. Thanks. Now all I have to do is convince her to take it out...she can be stubborn like me when she wants. It's a family trait!
This is like an old fashioned case of Mono. Who's been kissing Whom.
I found it in a DL from the exchange. Didn't even try to fix it. Bit bucket the file went.
Still have over 2100 more to check....
sigh. Going to be a long week.
I understand your woe. I took the easy way out and reinstalled my game. Downloaded every single item in my studio, had them all checked for the doll and removed them.
Actually just yesterday I had to uninstall and reinstall my game because I went download crazy. But I have a mac...and after reinstalling my computer's fine...so I don't know what happened then! :?

I didn't have that many but going through 2 gb worth of stuff is so brutally mind numbing but not in a good way. But thankfully it is now gone. I'm just a little nervous to play my towns that I have set up for my stories now. But I'll have to get over that since I have an update that is itchin' to get posted.
I actually have an easier way than scanning each file.
My archive is broken down alphabeticly.
I just load one letter group at a time. If it is clean, I dump them and load next.
If one group comes up hot, I go down to sets of 10 until I get a hit then break it down further. Had a heck of a time tracking down Shymoo, but that is how I did it.

X3Carli with Custard you need to check only sims3packs. And the doll is only attaching to sims3packs.
But if you want to check if your packages are not corrupted I recommend using Dasbhoard tool from Delphy (modthesims) This will check all files in 1 time not one by one like Custard do http://linna.modthesims.info/download.php?t=387006

Darkling I don't know about names of the file of the both dolls. But this new fixed version is still on tsr. She can remove version that she have to be 100% sure and and download new one

Good luck out there.
That is very good tip Windrider.To group sims3packs in downloads folder by date. And check from the new to last added file.

I'm glad to see so many Posts but SAD more because that means many people have this Issue.
To those who lost or had to delete Items , Specially featured Items, I feel your loss as I too have to Delete some Items and Featured Items.
The siggy: Can it be made that it goes to this Link http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/214851.page#2622818 , then people just click it and get to the Solution on the first Page?
I will post in the OP about the 'Closing the Program after finding infected Item'.
Thank you all and Good luck.

I also want to thank the Person that gave me a Gift. You know who you are and I really appreciate it.
Let's kill this Doll from the Exchange.
