S3RC is the one that gets referred to as 'just decryption' but this is also misinformation. It's called ReCompressorizer for a reason. It's basically just an automated way to compress the contents of a package file, the same way that S3PE can do manually. It's important to note that these two tools...

Perhaps I have a 12th or 13th gen Intel processor? When I attempt to install store Sims3Packs through the launcher, the installation seems to get to the end and fail to complete with an error stating that I should run the most recent version of the game. I'm running 1.67, so I'm NOT running the most...

I think simler does provide permission to build mods using his source code. The question is who has the will and expertise to delve into something so complicated to find the places where it conflicts with NRaas. Simler provides his work explicitly with no support, and he does not take requests. NRaa...

I had no idea that the 64-bit Mac Sims 3 was single dev's pet project. That explains a lot.

As for the Mac version, I thought the new 64bit one ran the best out of all the available versions? Does it still not utilize 4GB of ram? It does seem to run great as far as system resources go. My experiments trying to load saves I created with my Windows (boot camp) version hasn't been great. The...

OK, returning to this because I'm just now trying to set it up. The settings I'm trying: StoryProgression: In the Teenagers cast, I set Flirt: Allow Caste to Teenager. It appears to have automatically set the Disallowed Castes to YA+. In Woohooer, Allow Teen-Adult Romance = True, Link to StoryProgre...

OK, so this is a distinction I'm not sure I ever grasped -- the SP distinction between flirting and romance. That helps a lot!

I thought if I linked SP and Woohooer that SP would follow Woohooer rules. Is it the opposite? I guess I should go look at documentation again.

I'm messing around with a custom lifespan that is mapped more closely to real lifespans, and the result is that the YA stage is twice as long as the teen stage. I would like for teens to be able to continue relationships started in high school when one half of the relationship is YA (particularly fo...

I just had a lovely Spooky Day holiday. Then I fiddled with the length of the season, and the game decided that the very next day was also Spooky Day. I'd really like my sim to actually go to work. Does anyone know if there's a way to cancel a holiday? ETA: I discovered a holiday can be turned off i...

This sounds like heavy outfit corruption. Try Fix Invisible Sims with DebugEnabler on the city hall and see if that does anything. That worked! Thank you! I did try Recover Missing Sims, but I'd guess they weren't "missing." I did think about outfit corruption, but I forgot that option was there. I...
