The program wont let me open the new file to check to see if I corrected everything... Below is the error report:




I got so excited when I found this program because I thought it would allow me to extract objects from lots/worlds but, I'm getting the impression that it can't...how would I go about doing that?

I've got the same error with one lot. There wasn't any CC in it and I used the program to remove the thumbnails to reduce file size as I did many times before without any problems. I'm running on Windows Vista 32. A similarity I can see from the screenshots is that the description of my lot also contains special characters.

I feel stupid.. I don't understand how to use this program.. did we open the sims3pack one by one to check it? and I got some orange file, and it's says thumbnail.. do I need to fix it?
anyway thank you for making this program.. you're genius..

I finally got this installed. too me forever to figure out but for some reason every time i try to open it crashes and says it isn't working, saying i possibly installed it wrong. maybe I am just stupid. but its frustrating.

I've uploaded two XML'S, one of my dog and one of a cloned in-game pattern

Cheers

I'm just posting this to help anyone who had the same problem I did ~
If you put a character [!,@,$, etc] in the title OR in the description when packaging a lot, it will not work, at least for me. I'm not sure if apostrophes are a problem, but I had < and @ in the description and it wouldn't work until I took them out--I got Upload Error 500 and when I opened the file in WinRAR after saving, it said it was corrupted. So make sure not to have any characters.
I still love this program and appreciate it, of course.

hey Delphy is there any way to fix the xml after delete some packages?, because once you delete a package and use "save as" you won't can edit the sims3pack (the new) again because it have a problem in xml file...

Hi; thanks for making the tool first off. Going to aim more for brevity (though I know to most it won't be) and cut out all explanation and just get to the questions. If you want more explanation I can provide it.

* Can a package in DCBackup register as "corrupt" simply because it fails to have all associated dependencies from create a style present?

* If this is NOT why the world is registering as corrupt, a world file is a far more complicated thing than say, oh, an outfit but I imagine fundamentally the .package is the same right, if it's just xml bundled with the assets? The same -sorts- of things would cause a failure.

This is where my ignorance is hurting me. Any suggestions on what tool(s) to use to determine where the missing dependencies are associated lot-wise so I can pull them out and see if this fixes the failure in dashboard? Or inspect it on a more granular level?

I already know most of the lots I did the "painting" on in Edit in Game, so it isn't a burden on my part to just go back into CAW and even just yank them entirely make a build and see what happens analyzing that package. I'd rather try to learn something along the way than just resort to sledgehammers.

Thanks much.

Maybe some of you can use this link? http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/0...ys-custard.html

Hey guys, I have a problem and hopefully there's someone out there who could help me.

I recently reinstalled my entire PC and ofcourse redownloaded CUSTARD and Dashboard for my Sims game. Thing is, NOW my CUSTARD isn't working properly, it seems to ignore half the CC. For instance, I have a sim on Exchange with CC makeup (and I know this for a fact). When I run it through CUSTARD it only shows 1 file, the core one so it's scanning it as completely CC-free. Why is this happening? I downloaded CUSTARD from the same location as before I reformatted my PC, from MTS (here).

P.S. The CC eyeliner is Sims3pack file, not a .package because I know CUSTARD ignores .packages since they're not transferable via Exchange.

I was just wandering if the testing stage is complete on Custard, and which link is the most recent one for download. I downlaoded the link on the 7th (?) page of this thread, and also the one on the first page. I can open a file, unclick the bad files, but when I click save I get the following message: Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. In the drop down details section it says the following: See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Could somebody please explain what I am doing wrong.

Stichtask: Looks like it has issues with the name - that file is in russian, right?

I've never tested it with non latin characters. Try renaming the file and see if that helps.

Delphy, I just tried that and it still wont work. It wont work on any of my files. Out of all my cc (360 odd files), only 17 files were corrupted or faulty thumbnail or the (contains another DBPF) thing or wrong age group. It wont fix any of them The bad ones are all sims or lots. Only two of them are clothing. I have put the faulty thumbnail ones in game (as I read that they dont have any affect on the game??). I made a copy of them in another folder so I knew which ones they were though. But I would really love to fix the corrupted ones. Is the download on the front page of this thread the most up to date one?
Could it possible be where I have installed everything. I have Custard installed in Library/Documents/My Documents/Delphy Custard. Same location as dashboard except that is in Library/Documents/My Documents/Delphy Dashboard.

I removed my Corrupted content to a folder on my desktop and have been running it through Custard from there. I did open a cc from the actual downloads folder (one with fulty thumbnails) and that didn't work either.

I have patch 1.33 amd version 12.0.273.015001

Some days ago I tried cleaning up a package and it didn't work, but I didn't have more time then. Now I tried over again. I had 1 specific file I wanted to get rid of. I can't test on the lot, because I'm not using it. The last time I wanted to remove a file I was still using, and I expected ugly white walls when I opened the lot again. It didn't happen.

This time I'm not using the file I want to remove. In my exports folder the clean lot is smaller then the original. I took the cleaned lot back into Custard and the file is gone.

There may be some troubles if the file is still used? Just a suggestion, but I probably haven't read all the 288 posts in this thread and bring old news.

Stitchtask: It shouldn't matter in which location the program is run. The only key is that the rar is fully extracted before use.

Volvenom: What do you mean "it didn't work"? What specifically happened?

I said in the post I cleaned a lot while the stucco I wanted to remove was still on the walls. Previous when I've done that I got some ugly white walls, now the stucco was still on the walls, and I could recolor it. Previous I couldn't touch the walls, they would not cast at all.

Thank you for this program. It helped me find a file I needed that was hidden pretty much by the launcher in DCBackup. Without this program, I'd never have known the name of the file.
I also may need this in the near future, though I need to read up on how it works a little closer before I try to use it for what I'm thinking of using it for

Program ran smoothly & if it helps, specs are:
Windows 7, 64 bit, 8 gig ram, quad core 3.2 amd.

I wonder if it's possible for CUSTARD to be able to detect attached non-default skins on sims?

I tried to clean this sims3pack file (a downloaded sim) and it came with a non-default skin and it pretty much bugs my muscle definition slider cause the skin is completely outdated. I really wanted the sim, but then I'm gonna have to delete it.

I hope you could look into this possibility, Delphy. Thanks a bunch!

Hi Delphy. First off, I've been using the custard tool since you first released it for testing. I've always found it to be a very reliable for checking for corrupt files and removing unwanted CC. I was recently told by a few people that since Pets was released, custard is no longer a reliable tool to use for removing CC objects such as comfort and surface items where the coding was changed to allow the items to be used by pets. I haven't found anything to support those claims and I was just hoping you (or anyone else around) could clear that up for me. I'd like to be able to pass on the right information. Thanks!

I have to do some more checkups, but I don't think the stucco was removed at all from my download. I uploaded it to TSR and their engine found it among the sims3pack files. I will do some more checks. Where do I find the report you guys posted earlier?

Volvenom, when you load up the Sims3Pack in CUSTARD, what do you see? Do you still see unknown items listed?

Delphy, I just got custard, and I was scanning some lots.. and it shows the top line as being corrupt because it contains another dbpf file.. what does that mean?

It's kind of like zipping a zip file - theres content in there that shouldn't be there.

I have tested the file at TSR. It's the rev2C file. Revision 2, clean with Custard.

I tried to upload on MTS engine but it's seems to be out of order. Anyways, here is 3 files. The Rev2, revision file is the basis, then I clean it in Custard, Rev2C. I tried uploading the rar file for you of course.

The Rev2C file does not have the stucco still in it. It's gone, but TSR still found it. Sounds a bit odd, but I can't see how I could have messed up the file for TSR. I had to upload the file a few times for TSR, but a new file is a new ID number ...

Is this readable? I can try your engine later. The only thing I removed was 1 stucco pattern.

TSR lot Shek-O Stucco pattern by Ayyuff.

Then I downloaded the file at TSR to the same export folder. You can see the file Rev2C1 is the downloaded file. It's on the size of the cleaned file. So I must have uploaded the right file?

Then I run the new downloaded Rev2C1 file through Custard and the stucco still isn't there.

So basically, the stucco isn't there anymore according to Custard, but there must be something TSR pick up on still.

What do you mean the "MTS engine was out of order"? What happened when you tried it?
