This is the COMPLETE Sims 3 Store items listing as of July 2, 2013. All files have been put into .package form by set, so no need to deal with the horrid installer! Due to my uncertainty about whether or not I'll be able to continue this collection in the future If you aren't sure how to install a .package file for the Sims 3, please check out the tutorial on Mod the Sims via the link provided. http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Installing_Package_Files Please don't just leech, seed for a while after you download! These package files as well as the original torrent were compiled by rachelstoolbox on KAT. You are welcome to post the files for download off of said site, but I request you acknowledge the files were not your own creation. I will only be offering any support via the torrent on KickAss Torrents. Til next month! Rachel Frequently Asked Questions WARNING: Asking a question already answered below may lead to rudeness and/or public mocking. Q: I can't open the zip files, is something wrong? A: The reason for the compression has always been to conserve the bandwidth of people who happen to live in places where they are charged by total data, not accessI changed the compression algorithm in order achieve a higher level of progressions, cutting GBs from the torrent since files for this game are often extremely bloated. If you can't open these files (which use the LZMA compression algorithm), you can download WinRAR and/or 7-Zip free via these links: WinRAR via rarlabs.com 7-Zip via 7-zip.org Q: Do I need to download EVERY file? A: If you choose to you are more than welcome to pick and choose what you want within your torrent app. If you don't know how to do that you need to look up the help info for your torrent app. All files are in the same torrent since I will not support 3 when I started out providing only the package files and added everything else by the requests of others. Q: What happened to the annual package files? A: I combined them to help the game run more efficiently. Instead of the 5 annual packages there are now 3 larger package files instead. Q: Do I need to install this 'Fixes' package file? A: If you want any of the 'Premium Content' to work, yes you do. It used to be combined with the most recent annual file but separating it makes it easier for me to check which version is included. Expect to replace the file you have anytime new 'Premium Content' is in the torrent. Q: The directions on Mod the Sims are for mod files? A: Every mod posted at Mod the Sims is in the form of a .package file, the exact same thing provided in this torrent. Installation is exactly the same. Q: What if I want to use the .sims3pack files instead? A: If you have the game installed double clicking any .sims3pack file will open the launcher, which will install it. Remember, if you use the package files the only files you need to install this way are the Worlds and Buildings. Q: Why does the game tell me some of the files have mod scripts? A: Starting in June 2011 EA/Maxis started putting 'Premium' items on the Sims Store. Unlike any common items on the store, these 'Premium' items add new functionality to the game, which EA/Maxis wrote in the form of a script, which just so happens to be the same thing the vast majority of modders will do. The scripts in packages found in this torrent originate from EA/Maxis only. Any package file that only has common items, not premium, will not generate a message. Q: What does Decrapified mean? A: 'Decrapified' is slang for all copy protection being removed. Every file in this torrent has been decrapified or you wouldn't see the items in game, let alone be able to install any of the protected sims3packs. In addition, it needs to be removed in order to compile a package file. Q: Do any of these files require any Expansion or Stuff packs? A: All Sims 3 Store items only require the Base Game to work. It is recommended that you install the most recent patch as most items only require the game be patched to a specific version. If you need a way to download patches separately from the launcher I recommend the following link: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/patches/sims3/patch.html"]The Sims 3 Patches via Strategy Informer Q: Where do I install a .package file for a building/lot, and what's the difference between using those or a .sims3pack?[/b] A: The .package file for the building/lots allows you to install them without using the launcher if you already use the .package files to get the content. Simply drop them into your [color=gray]DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3Library[/color] directory. Q: How do I install these new .world files, and what exactly are they? A: The .world files are what the game turns those neighborhoods into when you run them through the launch. If you normally use the .package files to avoid the launcher then these are very similar. Using these and the .package files means you will not need to use the launcher to install them, simply drop them into your [color=gray]DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3InstalledWorlds[/color] directory. Q: Will these files work on a Mac? A: I'm sure they do, however I offer no support for installing or troubleshooting them on Macs. I do not use a Mac so I can not help you with that myself. Changes in v1.4 package files Due to the addition of the package file versions of lots and the inconsistent nature of the lots within the collective files, the collective package files have been recompiled without the lots included Changes in v1.4 sims3packs files The changes are naming related. If you already have them installed no updates are necessary Changes in v1.3.2 package files Added a new item to the 21-40 collective file to prevent a conflict Changes in v1.3.1 package and sims3pack files The compilation files have been recompiled and include every single item and lot released. If you use them the only sims3packs you will need to run are for the neighborhoods you plan to play. Live, Laugh, Love set file type fixed Changes in v1.3 package and sims3pack files Files have been recompressed to lower torrent's total size. Conversion will be done gradually over several months instead of all at once. The only change to 1.3 files is the compression algorythym of the .zip files Changes in v1.2.1 package files various items have been moved into other package files to eliminate conflicts Changes in v1.2 package and sims3pack files Run through more recent versions of s3rc and decrapify' Rigfix run on new files Changes in v1.1 package files Rigfix has been rerun since it wasn't effective when initially run
Thank you rachel for always uploading on time. I'll seed this torrent until next month's update
LOL.. time to drag out the ol' archives again. Thanks Rachel.. as always.
Don't wanna sound like a wiseass since it isn't my intention but...
"This is the COMPLETE Sims 3 Store items listing as of July 2, 2013."
You meant August 2nd, right? Cause I am almost done downloading your July upload up-to 70% and a bit confused since the file sizes are different.

this is complete with since first in 2009 to 2013?
Thanks for this! (First time posting) Love that you do these just wondering what I had to do to make everything work properly? Do I download all the fixes including the v1.47 fixes too and place them all in the packages? I downloaded only the first fix and all my store content was removed when I loaded the game up.
the "Vertical Challenge Rock Wall" is missing
and just using the installed worlds is not working at all
i found the wall you cant use the store updates 1-20,21-40 and stuff because it's incomplete, and the violin is missing from both
I used the .package files and followed the instructions but nothing shows up in the game from the store, nor the worlds? What did I do wrong...
I put "Premium Content Collection 08-02-2013.package" in Collectionsuser
The .worlds I put into InstalledWorlds
And everything(the huge package files+store fixes) else I put into modspackages
I thought using the .package files you didn't need to use the .sim3pack files but... what did I do wrong?

^Edit for the above comment: All objects seems to work fine.
However I still can't get the worlds to load, I had to resort to sim3pack to get them to show up in the game. As for the festival grounds they still refuse to show up in worlds.

What's the difference between 1.2.1 package file updates and 1.4.7 for say, 01-20 /21-30 / 31-40?
It's not 1.4.7, the 7 is part of the extension .7z, which is a 7-zip file. It's just 1.4. Anyone wondering what the difference is needs to learn to read as it's clearly written at the bottom of the torrent description.
Also, @Fillipe92, yes this is from 2009, look at the file list, you can clearly see the first pack is from June 2009.
Judging from the amount of questions being asked that are clearly answered right in front of your face, I'm surprised you guys manage to avoid drowning in your cereal in the morning... Again, from the torrent description "WARNING: Asking a question already answered below may lead to rudeness and/or public mocking."
