.sims3pack question?

Okay, I think it's pretty obvious that .package files of CC make your game slower, but how about .sims3pack files? :s ( Read more... )

Ah, see that is one reason I don't like S3Ps. One is b/c the launcher is just stupid & annoying -I load my game directly from the .exe file & skip the launcher always! LOL! It is just so hard to scroll through -especially with how many S3Ps I have. & you can't just ~scroll b/c it will suddenly zoom and skip like dozens of things at one time! Not to mention even when you remove stuff it doesn't REALLY uninstall b/c there is that big DCBackup folder, so it's like things are in your game twice & you have to remove both to really get stuff out of your game. Which makes cleaning out your downloads just annoying -especially since you can't put S3Ps into folders, so it's just one big jumbled mess in the Downloads folder!

My package files are perfectly organized & if I don't like something I know just where to find it & delete it quickly with no muss or fuss! Package files rule :D

But lol I am such a pattern whore! I only use MySims3Blog to find downloads, so if you do a search with just the Pattern tag you get pages & pages of great patterns! But I also have loads of them from evil TSR -sadly TSR has the best downloads for ts3. :/ *sigh*

ANYWAY GOSH I ramble so much! *wiggles off*

Yeah, I hate when it skips -.- It just confuses me. And my things always disappear when I uninstall them :s how do you get rid of them? Delete the DCBackup folder? (sorry i'm honestly a noob as long as i've been playing >.<)

And It's like, Oh I hate those pair of pants.. but idk what they are in my package folders o_O And no matter how much I merge my package files, it just lags my game soo badly it's so painful -_- I'm soo impatient, I can't stand lag!

And I use http://sims3updates.net/ it's awesome :D so categorized. And my patterns take forever to load, and I'll download 100 patterns and only use 5 of them xD so I really only have 10 patterns, and I use them all all the time. And yeah, I hated downloading TSR Workshop I was like grrr better not fuck anything up!

Do you run dashboard with your package files before you merge them? Sometimes you can get a bad download & it needs to be cleaned out before you do any merging.

Also before I merge I always make sure what I'm merging will not cause any lag. Just by running the game with things I am about to merge in to make sure it's okay, then I get out & merge them if all runs right. I only merge sections of packages -like all makeup gets one file - hair (b/c i have over 600 package hair files) in 2 files, etcetc. Sometimes if a package file gets too jammed packed it will cause lag once merged.

But yeah, about S3P's -you have to delete the DCBackup to really get rid of things. S3P's just suck so hard, I try so hard to avoid them when I can! :(
