The RSL-browcombed_puregreenm file and YOU!

May 10, 2010 23:27

Its come to our attention that there's a tonne of sims being shared that are suffering from the 'suckerfish' style file, RSL-browcombed_puregreenm.package. This file attaches itself to any and all sims packaged in bodyshop - whether you used it or not. Massively suckful, right ( Read more... )

i found this back in my downloads after removing it once on friday and it wasted 2 hours of extracting and packaging sims...i had to repackage them and it was such a waste i was sooo mad...ill double check my downloads but i dont think i have it attached to any of them

You can use clean installer to pull up your whole DL folder and hunt down this little blight?

(sorry, it's been so long since I've played with any sim stuff I don't remember the finer points of clean installer)

(if you need me to repack any of my stuff, just give a yell)

No, no. ;) When you download sims, the file will show up on their list of CC that the sim comes with.

You can use Delphy's Download Organizer to bring up your folder and nuke it.

Ahh, good to know. (funny how you forget all these things you used to know)

I don't even have any idea how to find out if I've been spreading this thing.

(It's a Sims STD! Teach our teens and YAs Safe Woohoo!)

Use the Clean Installer (http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/) to install a sim (or open up a sims2pack of your packaged sim) and check to see if the file shows up on the list of CC that pops up.

Darn. Unfortunately it's still several weeks before I can do that, then, because I'm away from my Clean Installer/game.

If you link me to the sims you've uploaded, I can check them for you. (: I can't check your game for you, but I can at least do that.

I'll have a check for that file, I've heard of it before, but never really understood - is the file's purpose to just cling onto files or something?

boolpropbea May 10 2010, 19:23:04 UTC

I'm not sure about other purposes, but what it does is attach itself to -every single sim- that you package. It has other adverse effects, I believe, but I can't remember them. xD

boolpropbea May 10 2010, 19:21:27 UTC

You can also find it in Delphy's Download Organizer, and I'm pretty sure I found it by searching rsl-browcombed, etc. :)
