My name is Jo, and I am a cc addict

[joandsarah]

I thought I had got away from these downloading sprees, but obviously not. I was again clicking on links and searching for clothes etc this morning. I have now downloaded another 24 items to my desktop! And I would still like to find a nice pram/stroller and more potty recolours and..oh dear.

;D Poor Jo, join the club, we may have even crossed paths on our down loading sprees, I am still getting what I can together so I can
finish Zero, after losing all my CC!I see in our future a new way of dealing with these sprees, it's called Simmers Anonymous!

[Tina ☺]

Tut, tut, tut.... shame on y'all!

Not lately, but I have been in that situation before. I'd go searching for ONE THING I really needed, and then I'd find myself with a whole bunch of other crap I found instead.

[Sawyer]

Heh, so glad the TS3 doesn't have as much crap out there as TS2. ;D

[joandsarah]

Well I just opened CI and got rid of about 100 pink duplicates! Yah!! Opps. Hehe, that does mean that that 100 I just put in is really 0.

...slinks off to open game and see new cc!

[Tina ☺]

@jo!

Me too, Sawyer! I don't feel the need to have as much cc with TS3 because of being able to recolor almost everything in the game.

[holleyberry]

Yeah, the recolor thing is AWESOME! Also the fact that CC w/ TS3, at least to me, is confusing helps.

[Tina ☺]

The whole process of getting cc into TS3 is definitely a bit daunting as well as rather aggravating.

;D Last time I played Sims 3, my CC was showing up all except for TSR & the store stuff (MATY!Ssh!)EVERYTHING from TSR had vanished, thank goodness it is free, I would be really PO if I had payed for it!

[Tina ☺]

Yeah... there's a trick involved to get the store stuff to show after installing World Adventures. Plus, I've read that it also broke the TSR stuff. I hope it doesn't happen with every expansion. EAxis is trying their best to make things impossible for us...lol

[holleyberry]

How do you get the store stuff to show up? I don't even know if mine's gone! LOL!

[Tina ☺]

You have WA, so it's gone.

There's a whole series of steps you have to do to get the store stuff back. There are instructions at MATY, and MTS, which is what I followed. There's a thread here discussing it too, by Sawyer where I helped him get his stuff back.

The informational stuff starts here:

You guys are derailing my thread again. *drums fingers* Am I the only one playing TS2 now? My feelings on cc for TS3 is 'meh' I'm really not bothered apart from having a few nice hairs. After I reinstalled I was happy to have some free points. I went shopping, could not even find a nice toddler hair anyways, then found it would not install and then the points disappeared for good! Waste of my time!

[holleyberry]

I am playing TS3 right now, but i still prefer TS2.
I got some free points w/ WA, I might go buy some stuff.

[Tina ☺]

That's what happens around here, Jo.
