Reason: Additional info according to http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=382520#wkgLauncher
This user has the following games installed:
Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets
.package files
Hello, I'm having some difficulties with installing .package files. I have one file, and that is riverview. I downloaded "Sims3Pack Multi Installer" and converted it to .package, then put it in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff\Mods\Packages
I started the game, and nothing. I installed Framework, Awesomemod[if need] I copied all the files from the original Sims 3
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff\Mods\Packages
I did the manual installation from
http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?...ge_Files_Manual
I added the resource.cfg, and d3dx9_31.dll. There's also something else...when I converted the Riverview.sims3pack to .package file, and instead of 1 file being extracted, 27 files were. They had different names such as
0xd535a1c25e231c854401ac15e7ae1bb2.package
0x8d858ab0aca34ecbb955eb78f13508fd.package
0xe457e0c4cf9641449ba5017980d46c4c.package
0xe023da4db7ab42db8fc36744c5c73e95.package
I tried copying all 27 files into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff\Mods\Packages
but still it didn't work. I tried using TS3 Installer Helper Monkey but didn't work. Or are Sims3Pack files unable to work when converted to .package files?
Additional Info
Before doing the manual installing for the Framework, I used MonkeyBars. After I though that MonkeyBars failed because no content was installed, I tried manual. When I downloaded the file resource.cfg from
http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?...ge_Files_Manual
and pasted it in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff
it asked me if I wanted to overwrite it. [I didn't delete the any of the files when MonkeyBars installed Framework] I noticed that the downloaded resource.cfg and MonkeyBars resource.cfg differed in size. One was larger then the other. Is something wrong? I have also installed all the latest patches for Sims 3 and Sims 3: High End Loft Stuff. Here are the numbers.
Sims 3:
v1.11.7
Sims 3: High End Loft Stuff:
v3.2.8
I have Microsoft Security Essentials, and Spybot: Search & Destroy and nothing else.
