Directions to download MC Command Center

may151997

Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to download/unzip it? I've tried downloading it multiple ways, and none have gotten it to work. I know the dresser isn't working currently, but I don't need that feature. I did enable script mods in the game options. I have 7zip.

My girl @egwarhammer is the MC Command Center whisperer. She should be able to help you out. There is a step by step on the file page here: http://modthesims.info/d/551680

Here is a 7-zip guide with pictures if that helps!

I tried downloading the file at the bottom that contained all modules and the main package. I tried unzipping all the files inside the mod folder, and it did not work. Do they all need to be unzipped or only certain ones?

They all need to be unzipped.

Hey gang, sorry, I didn't get the tag. Silly forums!

The best way I can recommend to get MC 2.2.2 up and running is to COPY your MC folder to your desktop. Of the one left in /Mods, delete everything except your mc_settings file. Download the allfiles version of 2.2.2, that is the ONLY file with the updates, he's leaving the individual parts of 2.2.0 up for people who haven't updated their game yet.

Besides, packing it once is easier than redoing it all just for hotfixes. I'm all about things being as easy as possible for Deaderpool.

Once you download it, you should be able to just Open (extract) it, select all the files, and Copy To... wherever MC lives on your drive. If you use woohoo you need to update it and mc both to 2.2.2. If you don't, you can stick with 2.2.1.

Here's a screenshot of my MC files. Pay attention to the dates, and keep in mind the package files have NOT been updated (no need yet), so your dates should match mine.

When I try to extract the files, it stops in the middle.

Wrong file. I'll get a screenshot and brb.

Edit: here we go... you need the 2.2.2 file ONLY. What's inside it is shown below, also circled in red. If your files don't have these dates, they aren't the right ones. (Same for woohoo, get its 2.2.2 version.)

There should be NO .pyo (or .py* files with MC now. Those haven't been used for SEVERAL updates.

I was going to move them to the Sims 4 mods folder after extracting them.

may151997

That is what the files look like before I try to extract them.

I don't use the extract button, I open the zip file, select all the package and ts4script parts, and use Copy To... to put them in my MC folder. Is that what you're doing?

I want to know where that .pyo came from. >.< It should NOT be there.

may151997

Okay, so I think I kind of figured it out. However, now it doesn't want to move from the 7-Zip file manager to The Sims 4 mods folder.

egwarhammer

Got a hammer? LOL! Teasing.

If you can get to the window where you SEE the individual .package and .ts4script files, select all, copy, switch over to MC folder (which, to make this easier, should be EMPTY except for your mc_settings file), and paste. If THAT doesn't work, I don't really know what else to try. But we'll keep at it.

I'm not giving up, just running a 27 hour day, and losing focus a little. If not tonight, AM for sure we'll get you going.

Do you have any other mods in? Just wondering.

may151997

I don't have any other mods, but I do have CC items. The only mod I've downloaded was the Go to School mod; that was on a different computer using WinZip, and I didn't have any problems. I figured out how to get the zip file for one of them, then I got sidetracked and forgot how I did it. I thought that left clicked, then right clicked, went to 7-Zip and clicked open archive, then clicked zip, but that just took me to those py files.

I don't have the mc_settings file...

egwarhammer

Cool. Don't worry about the settings file, you'll get one when you load the game after we get you set up right.

Make a brand new empty MC folder.

Download this file:

http://chii.modthesims.info/getfile.php?file=1586932

Copy/paste its "insides" to your MC folder.

Have you had the woohoo part? Same process, you ONLY need the ONE file for 2.2.2 from either list.

Your folder should look like the DP MCCC screenshot I posted right above your .pyo screenshot. The cfg and log files aren't important. The .package and .ts4script files should match DATES with my files exactly.

There should not be anything else MC related anywhere else (earlier file versions, I suspect something may be hiding from you in the wrong folder, you did say you have cc, right? There are NO user files using PY-anything now!!!).

When I copy and paste it into my mods folder, it changes the date/time to the date/time that I put it in there.

It worked! Thank you!
What I was doing wrong was putting another folder into my regular CC folder. I didn't think it would cause a problem, but apparently it did. As soon as I created the folder right into the mods folder it worked.

SWEET! I didn't think about the date-changing thing... you got it though, that's great!

I don't tech well on no sleep.

Fixing THAT, shortly. We'll have more fun tomorrow, gang! New Toys coming!!!
