I have a slight issue. Don't know if i'm doing something wrong or if i'm just not understanding what to do xD Whenever I open the Sims 3 Dashboard, it shows up blank, like I have no package files. Problem is not only do I have 7 package files, but I have 1.2 gigabytes of Sims 3 CC. It's in the Electronic Arts/ Sims 3/ Downloads folder. Also, I can't play Sims for more than 2 minutes without it crashing and shutting down :/. So my questions are first off, how do I make it so that my package files show up? Second, is there a way to scan the CC not in a package file? Thank you so much

If you have CC in your Sims 3 Downloads folder, it's not in your game anyway. (And if it's a Sims 3 pack, it's not a .package so Dashboard isn't able to read it anyway. You need to do each of them one at a time with CUSTARD.)

But if you really want it to check all the packages in your Downloads before you move them to Mods, you can browse to your Downloads folder with the Scan Folder menu under File. Note that this isn't going to help a whole lot with identifying conflicts with anything that is already in the Packages folder. It would be better to have a "New Arrival" folder in Packages (Unless that is actually what you mean when you say "Downloads folder?" ) and scan your entire Packages folder after downloading new CC.

Thank you so much for this wonderful mod. My game no longer takes forever to load and when saving between games is sooooooo much faster. I didn't realize how much crap was in my mods folder causing all sorts of problems.

My game works perfect, from launch game to "be in game" took ~1.5 minutes. But I launch this crap, it shows some corrupted files, +200 doubled files etc.. so I use "fix all". Game no more works, error 0x02957b48 when start.

This app is one piece of crap. Maybe it works for OUTDATED/old pirated game versions, but not now.
Just great, now I need to reinstall ALL expansions + all other stuff...


Agree. Broke my game as well.

Doesn't seem to work. Downloaded, followed instructions, but when I try to run it it immediately says "not responding" and closes.

btw what i did is made a file on my desktop, saved there, doubled clicked the .exe program and then selected my sims 3 folder file from the "file" option at the top left. I had 4 conflicts and deleted one of each the files causing the issues, and reran it (make sure you read all the file info). No more issues.

hope this helps! glad I'm not the only one going back to sims3! give back our freakin toddlers and seasons EA!

Thanks! I do recommend not clicking fix all though. Instead use this to FIND the problem and then try to work it out on your own.

I can't get the thing to work, and I can't fix my game because of it. I don't like this feeling in my chest right now, because this is the only app I know that can fix my game

I enabled NET.Framework 2.0 on my computer. (Windows 8.1) But it still says, that the resource.cfg and the whole Mods-foulder could not be found. I don't understand this problem.

Thank you for the great program!

There seams to be a fault in the GUI: Icon preview position not updating on resize. (v1.2.4167.38743)

So I can see icons only when I leave dashboard windowed and in original dimension when opened, not full screen. In fact I only realized that there *is* a thumbnail display by stumbling on it in this thread.
Can I download the previous version somewhere? Google says: No!

BTW: Pretty much would appreciate an overview of values in the "Type" field. Hope to use this information to figure out witch packages I can or can't process with CC Magic. :lovestruc
