I probably don't have the correct name for this as I tend to rename files, but in going through my files not currently in my game. I found a Chris Hatch mod called FixedStoreEditionStuff that has the following package files: Art Nouveaulicious, Asian Fusion, Castle_Build, Castle_Buy, Cubic_Set, and Deco_Set.

Could anyone tell me what they do/fix?

TIA

If I recall correctly, back around 2007 Maxis used to offer new things from time to time via their online "Store" which you could get for so many "points". And you could buy "points" with real money. So it was one early way they tried to make money off of new content without going to the trouble of making an official Stuff Pack. But Maxis being Maxis, not all of the items they "sold" worked correctly for one reason or another.

I'm betting that those files are where Chris fixed the broken Store items.

Some of the store items weren't updated for the expansion pack features, so bookshelves wouldn't have the new options that came with FT, fridges wouldn't have the options that came with seasons, etc.

This is the same with a lot of the "bonus" items that came with each EP/SP as special CC for preordering. There's fixes available for those too

Main fix is Store Edition not required. The original files were a big mess with multiple repeats of textures and meshes, by cleaning them up the file size is halved.

Thank you all for explaining these files. :-)
