This is the COMPLETE Sims 3 Store items listing as of May 10, 2014.

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 due to my health I have also included the decrapped sims3packs. Use
one or the other, NOT both! Using both will result in duplicate items!!! Using a
sims3pack from this torrent and the one from the store will ALSO result in
duplicates as the process to break the copyright protection changes the sims3pack
just enough for it to appear as a totally different file!

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.

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.ph. You are welcome to post the files for download off of kat.ph, 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.

Any given month the provided fixes are created by any combination of Kissing Toast
(KT), Nona, No Touching, or myself.

This is more than likely the final installment of this collection as The Sims 3 was
going to hit end of life with the release of The Sims 4, which was delayed from
April 2014 to Fall 2014. This means EA has not prepared more content for the store,
and more than likely anything from here on out will be a vanilla lot hoping to milk
it as far as they can. Don't expect to see much else released.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I can't open the zip files?

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
access speed. I 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 7-Zip free via this link to open them:

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 multiple torrents 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: What's the difference between the new original sims3packs and the old
decrapified ones?

A: The files labelled as originals are exactly that, unmodified originals. This
also means that if you have not purchased a pack from the Sims 3 Store they likely
will not install if run.

Q: If they won't work when used, why did you include the original sims3packs?

A: Because I have hit the point where I just don't know that I will continue
playing this game. Making the originals readily available guarantees someone else
can jump in and do this if they like. While I may continue still, I can guarantee
these updates will end for me once I have the Sims 4 in my hands.

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: The game is showing me that the second and third collective package file are
loading but not the first. Is the first broken?

A: No. Refer to the answer above, then check the date range for the first file and
you'll have your answer.

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
Q: Are the game, expansions, and stuff packs included?

A: No. Never has, never will be. This upload is essentially DLC only. There are
plenty of places to find those already.

Q: Where do I install a .package file for a building/lot, and what's the difference
between using those or a .sims3pack?

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 Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Library 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
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\InstalledWorlds 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.

Q: Do you plan to do something similar for the Sims 4 DLC?

A: I make no promises.

Changes in v1.5 package files

Files have been reorganized as the 3 collective files were no longer enough space
to store all the data. Files were recompiled into 5 collective files organized with
each containing content from 12 months plus additional content. Items tied to
buildings and worlds were mixed in based first on resolving conflicts, eqaulizing
volume, and providing each with some form of premium content to dispell the 'Why
does the message on load not contain this file?' questions.

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
necesary

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 algorithm 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
