I discovered this and wanted all of the Sims 3 Store content. First, I downloaded The Sims 3: The Complete Store file from what I believe is the old G4TW site. I followed the steps and downloaded uTorrent and the entire file downloaded correctly. When I opened the file I noticed that there were only TS3 worlds from the store. My first thought was 'this is odd' because it says above the file on your website that it contained ALL of the store content from June 2009 to August 2014, yet I wasn't seeing it. Anyway, I transferred the .sims3pack files to my electronic arts sims 3 downloads folder. All of the worlds showed in my game launcher under the downloads tab and they all installed completely fine.
After this, I went through all of the Store Update files on the website and downloaded the files from every month in every year...so a lot of files. I then dragged ALL .sims3pack files that were in each folder into my electronic arts sims 3 downloads folder. I replaced any file that it said was duplicated and they all transferred smoothly. I believed I ended with about 700-800 items in my electronic arts sims 3 downloads folder.
I also installed the store fixes following the .sims3pack file instructions.
Now, here's the issue. When I open my Sims 3 Launcher, not all 700-800 items showed under the downloads tab. I thought that as I installed things, files that weren't installed would show. So I checked ALL files that showed in my downloads tab, regardless if they were installed before or not, and (re)installed all that were present. It took forever but when I checked back, I still couldn't see the rest of the files that needed installed under the downloads tab. Some had popped up that weren't yet installed but not nearly as many as I was expecting. NOTE: I have NOT checked in-game to see what is actually downloaded, but still would like to know if this is normal.
Another thing I noticed while checking this out, is that my Sims 3 Launcher takes FOREVER to actually open up. My origin says it's open but it's not and I click my Sims 3 icon multiple times and it still doesn't pop up. Sometimes it'll eventually open but other times I have to completely exit my origin and reopen it to get it to actually pop up but that doesn't work all of the times I tried. Remember, my games are authentic! Could this be due to the sheer amount of content I downloaded? Or maybe a possible conflict between original EA files and G4TW files?
Another thing, if I click the 'Installed' tab in my Sims 3 launcher, my launcher crashes immediately.
I have a lower end computer so it can be slow when downloading things and sometimes my game crashes but I have never had any issues like this. Though, I have never had torrented files like this either. I'm not sure how any of this works so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
The Sims 3 Store. What is known as “The Sims 3 Store”, are the micro-transaction-based items for The Sims 3, which were released somewhat independently from the main line of The Sims 3 games. These so-called “store items” were released monthly, between July of 2009, until August of 2014. The majority of the store items are purely. Free Game Content. A list of all Free Content available in the Sims 3 Store. Items are listed starting with the most recent on top. Click the Content title to be directed to the download. Katy Perry Poster. Patrick’s Day 2012!
A blog for free Sims 3 store and pay custom content. Sims 3 Store Sets. Items from the Sims 3 Store decrapped, compressed, converted to package and recategorized where appropriate. Please refer to the FAQ before asking any questions.
Yes I know you might feel like you hit the gold mine of Sims 3, but it is as the title states, these files have nearly all Store content from the start of the Sims 3 Store to now. All the content is in .package files so no launcher needed, all you need is a Mods folder which I’m supplying for you and the Store.rars
These files do not have the Store World Content, but if you want the Worlds and their content you can find them here , I did not add them because I did not want to risk duplicates, you may still get a few duplicates but it’s nothing to worry about.
If you want collection files to organize most of this content you can get those here
For store fixes which you will need to use some of my store sets in .package files read this Post
