If someone has the time to help me with this I will truly truly be greatful.
Here's the problem, after installing Showtime and updating to the latest patch,
All the in-game effects like bubble, music notes, teleportation effect, almost all in-game effects were gone.
So I've gone into a little investigation into what's causing the problem then I've come up with this. This is the suspect custom content.
http://www.mediafire.com/?2cdkg7477coa7w1 These are poses compilation I made so all poses should just be in one package file.
Now my question is, how come these poses remove the in-game effects and act like no-mosaic or no-effect mod? these are just poses?
If someone so kind who is an expert here in package files and with the latest patch of the sims 3, please help me. Will you please check the .package file I uploaded? I will really appreciate any help. Thanks MTS community! :)

P.S.
I assure you there are no viruses in that file. I am just really desperate to sort out my problem. I've posted in other Sims forums too. :rofl:

It's because you have a _swb resource in there. That is the effects resource.

any tips on how can I remove that resource inside the package file? how were you able to detect it? what tools did you use? I don't wanna' download all the poses because honestly, I can't remember them all since they were downloaded since last year. Thanks mod! :) And if you can provide me any screenshots for instructions then it would be a great help. Because I'm no really expert about mods, I just know how to compile them in one package. :rofl:

Same tool as when you do the merging. Deletion is simply done by the "DEL" key (or the command from the Resource menu), then make sure to use Save command from the File menu before you exit.
I detected it because I know what resource TAG the effects are in. I peeked into the first nocensor mod at that time, and also velocitygrass's version to see how the effects mod tool works and what package gets created.
In other words, I'm nosy and I dig into code. Understanding them is another matter. :)
