When downloading files now from the exchange this is what we are getting:
This is what the file looked like before i uploaded it to the exchange:
As you can see its the same exact sim and the numbers match so why EA are you doing this to our stuff when we are uploading?
This isn't just my new file its all files from the exchange right now...

Not good :?
I wonder could it be related to the new version of the Upload Image Changer?
I just started using the updated version yesterday. Now I'm going to check my stuff.....
Edit:
I just downloaded a couple of my own uploads and definite the same issue between items loaded with the older version of UIC and the new version of UIC.
So it's not the software causing the problem. Must have been the maintenance they did on the site yesterday.
I also downloaded a lot of pets from the exchange today and there isn't anything wrong with them.
-is confused-
I guess there's just no method to EA's madness.
Don't think custard is the issue. I could not install the files I've downloaded.

I just used the Save as - I got the numbers lot and corrupt. Used the Add to Game- installed the lot correctly.
Here's to a quick fix.

Please don't anyone start removing items from your studio thinking it is the items themselves that are corrupted. They are not. It is something to do with (apparently) the 'Save File' process of downloading. I've checked houses I dl'ed previously and still have in dl folder and they're fine - then I dl the same exact property and it shows as corrupt.
I hope nobody is cleaning out their studio because of this, just hang in there.
And yet... I see knowledgeable/respected members, such as Crinrict and Rflong and it would seem to me that they *are* using it still...
Yeah, tell me about it! :evil: I'm still smarting from that one. ::hugs:: Have no fear, that will *NOT* be repeated.
But so far there is no problem with custard. I promise you. I'd be lost without as I test worlds and lots for creators, so I depend on custard not to corrupt my game and so far so good. Use it everyday.

I'm in the process of deleting my creations now.

I don't want people thinking I use corrupted items.I know most people scan with custard and if they see corrupted, their not going to dl or rec it.

Just because Custard is saying something is corrupted, doesn't mean it is - right now. I just hate to think about how disappointed you'll feel when they fix this and you've tossed perfectly good creations into the trash.
Thanks for that. I have no idea why these other people were claiming that custard was unreliable.
Springfairy >>> As someone who went through trashing half their studio because of misinformation... Please DO NOT delete your studio! (I lost one of my featured/highest rec'd/dl'd lot because of it.) Just wait it out.
Springfairy, don't delete your lots!!
My latest sim was dl by a friend off of the exchange last night. She opened him in custard and he showed corrupt. I opened him and he was fine. She redownloaded him again and noticed that his file name had been changed to a bunch of numbers, and the file size was twice what the exchange showed. She dl him from my blog and the files size stayed the original size, his name didn't change.
I ran him through custard using the copy in my exports, fine. I ran a copy from him I dl from the exchange, corrupt (name change, file size doubled), a copy I dl from my blog was fine.
