Hey guys, long time no troubleshooting

So, what I thought would be a minor repair after my pc wouldn't start last week turned into replacing almost everything... and now I have considerably less money but a cool new processor and lots of ram, so that's nice I guess, lol. Problem is the new setup came with the dreaded Windows 10 and I wanted to ask here for tips before I start the long and tiresome game installation. Honestly the last time I installed from scratch was years ago and I don't really remember all of the required tricks, black magic, shaman dances and ritual sacrifices to make it playable

What's the damage with Win 10, besides Easy Casp Editor? Are there any other tools that don't work? Also anything different I need to do, installation-wise?

Oh and if someone who uses CC Magic can help - would it be possible to paste in my folders from my previous install, I have everything backed up as it was, will they appear in the right configurations/groups without having to sort and merge everything anew? I have so, so much cc and I don't really remember where it all goes and the thought of redoing it all just makes me want to pour myself half a bottle of wine and go stare at a wall while sobbing quietly. Anyway, thanks in advance!

Afraid I can't be the one to answer the CC Magic question, others should probably do that. But EasyCASP shouldn't be a casualty to Windows 10. It's Patch 1.69 and Steam 1.67 installs, on any operating system, that prevent it and a few other tools like that from running.

@enable_llamas: With regards to CC Magic, install it, launch it once so it can set all its folders up, exit out of it, then paste in all the folders from your previous install over the top of the newly created ones. Simple!

That's great, thank you both! I thought I saw somewhere that it was windows that broke the EasyCASP but apparently wasn't paying enough attention. Also I'm so happy I don't need to go through CC hell, yay! I finally got almost all my other stuff installed, transferred and sorted out so I'm sitting down and tackling TS3 now. Wish me luck

Oh and another thing, @Sarah_Sims - I think you had that useful tutorial about editing the GraphicsRules to get rid of the nasty bloom? Could you possibly link it again? Thanks

Here you go: The Sims 3 - Removing Bloom Effect.

Oh I thought it was on your tumblr, I must've been thinking about the CC magic batch file one (also very handy). Thank you for taking the time to find it, you are awesome

You're welcome and thank you!
