The TSR Launcher is a new tool designed to help you quickly install Sims3Pack files without using the Launcher provided by EA...

You again?! What now?
Yes, it's me! I have a new content installation tool, specifically aimed at helping people install Sims3Pack files. It allows a person to quickly install multiple Sims3Pack files at once, getting properly marked as CC, and without all that tedious mucking about with Mods\Packages or Resource.cfg files.

OK, I'm listening...
Yes, well now, let's give you some background (as if you didn't know!) about why the current custom content management scheme is horrible:

1) Requiring users to install content via the Mods\Packages system is tedious and requires a certain amount of skill. Thanks to the additional problem of multiple operating systems involved (XP, Vista, 7, Mac, etc.) it makes it especially difficult to ensure a smooth installation process regardless of the operating system the user is running.
2) Extracting content (be it a package or sims3pack) and putting it into Mods\Packages is quick, but it is not labeled as CC in the game, making it hard to identify.
3) To make things easier for the end-user, TSR has made all CC downloadable in .Sims3Pack files. This is a very good thing because it requires minimal skill. It's a bad thing, however, as it requires clicking each Sims3Pack, waiting 20-30 (or more) seconds for the game's installer to pop up, install, and finish before closing and repeating the process. This is horrible, especially if you download a set with 10+ items. (At least 3 minutes to fully install the content!)

Yeah yeah yeah, we know, so what's the solution?
One little known solution (seemingly, as I never see anyone talk about it) is that you can drag and drop a bunch of Sims3Pack files to the downloads folder, start the Launcher, checkmark all of the files, and install them at the same time. The game's installer pops up and installs the files all at once, so that whole set will only take 20-30 seconds of the installer loading one time and it'll be done!

HUZZAH! Let's all use the Launcher!
Well hold on a sec here... There's several problems with the Launcher:

1) If you mis-click and are off the edge of a checkbox by just a little bit, it selects that Sims3Pack and unchecks everything you just checked. This is particularly bad for people who have vision problems or problems moving the mouse.
2) The Launcher isn't the clearest in its GUI design as to how you should do things. (It took this long for me to even figure this out!)
3) Inability to filter. Beyond choosing the category, you cannot narrow the list down any further. (For instance, choosing to view only full-body outfits out of the entire list of CAS content.)

Hrmph. So what are we supposed to do then? Oh, right you want us to test something don't you?
Yes, yes indeed! What I've made is an alternative to the Launcher that actually still uses the game's installer (the blue thing with the plumbbob that pops up when you double click a Sims3Pack) so that you can easily install as many Sims3Pack files as you want at a time. (I've personally installed over 200 at once.)

Additionally, this tool will allow you to filter existing installed content down to a very fine level. For instance, you can choose Objects, then choose Storage.../Bookshelves. You can also easily choose to uninstall many pieces of content at once, just as you can choose to install several items at a time.

Sounds great! But this is where you tell us the catch, right?
Well, generally so, yes, but I'm pretty confident that I've caught the vast majority of the bugs. What I have left to tell you are minor details:

The Issue: The tool cannot (currently) see already installed content, so you pretty much have to run content through this tool first before it'll register as being installed, even if it already is. This is for many reasons, but primarily speed. Opening and navigating through the .dbc files manually would take far too long and is rather cumbersome.
The Workaround:You could, if you so choose, start the program and choose to "install" all the Sims3Pack files already in your Downloads folder. This wouldn't do any harm or install anything twice, as the game's installer will merely inform you that the content is already installed and continue on its merry little way. There will eventually be a wizard of sorts to do this without having to actually open the game's installer to get the content added to the program's database.

The Issue: The tool cannot read store content properly.
The Solution: Unfortunately there's no solution to this at the moment. Store content is specially encrypted, so we can pass the objects on to the game for it to read and install them just fine, but the content won't show up in your content list once it is installed as the TSR Launcher can't read them.

The Issue: The options in the subtype filter may come up as things like 0x00000002 or 0-80-10000000000.
The Solution: Congrats! You've found a piece of content that is a type I haven't isolated yet. I had to manually work out many of the content types and have missed some. If you discover one of these, please post the EXACT string that shows up in the filter (be careful not to miss any zeros!) and what category the content falls under.

That's it as far as issues go! See, told you, only a few small ones!

So what's it look like? What do I do?
Screenshot and installer are attached! Grab the files below, set the two options once you start the program, and you should be good to go! Once installed, if you choose, Sims3Packs will open with it. The way it works is that it moves the Sims3Packs to a "pending" folder in the same directory the program is installed in, then it will copy it to the downloads folder and call up the game once you initiate installation.

Requirements:
- Java version 6.0 or above
- Any flavor of Windows should work
- Mac not supported at this time (we're still working out some kinks...)

Special Thanks To:
- Echo, for the Postal library which is used to read the contents of .package files, and for putting up with my incessant bug reports.
- The FAs, SAs, and mods that put up with me and tested this early on.
- Everyone who will take the time to test this next. :)

Changes from beta to version 1.0
- Support for .tsr files (For upcoming download basket)
- Fixed bugs related to changes in the patch and EP
- Additional content types identified (Thanks Murano!)

Installed it and set everything up for it then when I would click a sims3pack the pack would vanish and nothing would show up in the TSRLauncher to be installed so I closed the program and now it won't load at all...very annoying. It seems like it would be a great program if it would decide to work on my computer, I'm not doing anything wrong that I can see...I made sure the paths were correct and allowed it to associate the sims3packs with it, only thing I can think might be wrong is that once the program is installed when you set the second path for the TSRLauncher.exe in the folder there is a second .exe file labelled TSR Launcher I clicked for it to use the TSRLauncher.exe since that's what the example path for the program shows it should be. Oddly with the new version that I downloaded and tried just in case my problem only applied to the original version I noticed if nothing else is selected and you put the cursor over the shortcut on the desktop to the TSRLauncher it actually says TSR_Merlin.exe, is it supposed to say that?
On Nov 8, 2009 charcharmm wrote:
Thanks for the hard work ^^ I'm using win7 and it installed smoothly. The first time I tried to install a sofa but somehow it crashed. Tried it again, and it works perfectly now Still I like Merlin better,  although it takes a little skill to manuver but with merlin I can really organize my downloads, like put them in different folders in mods/packages so that I know where to find them in case I needed.

Got it to install by skipping file associations... is this going to be ok ?
On Nov 9, 2009 jfade wrote:
@oldmember_fizzybubbly1: No, the easiest thing to do that in that situation is to just move everything out and move things back in gradually till you find the problem. @Aliengirl821: The packs you double click disappear because they are moved into the same directory as the program. The idea is that you can queue up many packs and then install them. There should be only one TSR Launcher.exe file.. If you have two, it's from the first version of the installer. I'd do a complete uninstall and do a clean one with the latest installer. And yeah, the shortcut says TSRMerlin.exe, I need to change that. (I reused most of the settings from the Merlin installer and must've missed some references to it.) @charcharmm: Well I still use both programs. They both have their uses. @ClaireDC: Interesting error ... skipping file associations isn't a problem. You can set them later by right clicking a Sims3Pack, choosing Open With... and point it to the TSRLauncher exe file and you'll be good to go!

WTF! I installed this and when it loaded it gave me a list of all my packages as if they were all not installed. Didn't like that at all so I uninstalled. Go to install it via EA's TS3 Launcher and nothing there. Check my downloads folder and all my packages are gone! Where the hell are they? And why is the program doing anything but reading them in the first place!?
On Nov 12, 2009 styphon wrote:
OK, managed to find them. It had moved them into a folder in the programs install directory. I think that's pretty poor programing. You shouldn't be touching the files in the downloads folder. Read them, copy them maybe but moving them is bang out of order .

On Nov 23, 2009 cadiva wrote:
@Styphon - the files in the Downloads folder shouldn't be there ONCE they are installed, all they are doing is taking up time when the launcher starts. The Downloads folder is a holding folder only and once installed, the information is added into the .dbc files in the DCCache folder and therefore, any Sims3Pack files, once installed, should be removed from the Downloads folder and stored somewhere else. You haven't "lost" any files or had any files uninstalled IF they still appear on the Installed Tab on the Launcher, which is where you should be checking for installed files NOT in the Downloads folder. You can safely delete anything in the Downloads folder and anything in the DCBackup folder (the .package files in here are simply copies of the information already added to the game's database).

I had a (well pobably a bug) with the TSR Launcher. At first it worked verry well. But suddenly when I started it, I was wondering why it wouldnt load my new Downloaded packs. So I looked into the folder and saw that TSR had deleted all sims3packs. I was confused. I thought, maybe it just copied them to the Standart Sims3 Download Folder, so I looked up there, and saw, that everything was deleted here too. Well the stuff is still in the game, but the Sims3Packs are gone. I had to delete TSR Launcher, because it wasnt working anymore. Now I don't know if I should reinstall it. Anyone else has ever had that Problem?

On Dec 7, 2009 Anach wrote:
Very cool progam. Nice and simple and easy to ready. A great improvement over the official launcher by far. However, 1. Log files need to say which packs are giving errors, so we can pull those from the "pending" folder and try again. 2. Processing packs after the install is complete needs to timeout and display which packs it could not process, but still process the successful packs. This will fix the need for the above request. 3. It needs to automatically scan the \The Sims 3\Downloads folder for new content at startup, so we dont have to keep going to the menu and opening a folder.

Hi, thanks for the TSR Launcher, however I have a problem.  It was working fine and then after coming back from holiday I downloaded some cc and opened TSR Launcher and it won't open.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled it but to no avail.  Can you please help as I hate using the games launcher and choose yours above it. Hope to hear from you soon.   Thanks

Is there no Support for this Program. Most People have the same Problem. The Program will not start after trying to Manage or Install sims3pack files. It loads all files to the pending folder but then nothing happens. I could send you my Error Log but where can I send it. And then I have a Question. At first start it asks me where the Sims 3 Donwload Folder and the Sims 3 exe File are. If I have WA installed do I select the TS3.exe from Base Game Directory or the TS3EP01.exe from the WA Directory?

Well I'm really frustrated right now... I installed the launcher earlier and it worked great... I downloaded a bunch of stuff and then when I went to install it it didn't do anything... I opened my sims game and then clicked install on the launcher and after about five to ten minutes everything loaded no problems... however after that first install now the launcher will not open at all I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I still have the same problem still won't launch... kind of defeats the purpose of having it if it only works once... now I have a bunch of content downloaded and can't do anything with it. I'm sure we would all greatly appreciate a response as to how to fix this problem.. it has literally given me a headache.

So I'm guessing that it's easier to just download the sims3packs directly to the Sims 3 installer. Thanks anyway!

This is very useful for installing multiple items and managing .sims3pack custom content - thank you! But it really does disappoints when it comes to uninstalling lots of items. It would be great if you could modify this app. to allow the end-user to select multiple items for uninstallation and do the same for those that need to be removed from the content registry. As it is, it's actually more efficient to do this *shock! horror!* via EA's Launcher. I hope you can make this change

Well it seems as if the creator of this program either doesn't want to help us or doesn't know how.  Would appreciate it if you would let us know which one of the two it is.   For everyone else what I did was uninstall TSR Launcher and then go to Program Files and delete the whole "The Sims Resource Folder" except for the folder inside called "thumbs" as you can put this back after reinstalling and all your installed content should then show in The Launcher again. (NB. ONLY DO THIS AFTER UNINSTALLING THE LAUNCHER) and then run CC Cleaner (you can google it) it is by Piriform and it is a free utility.  Install the program and then open it and click on Registry.  When it has finished scanning, select everything that points to TSR Launcher and then click on "Fix Selected Issues".  It will then prompt you to backup registry - I always say yes just in case.  I also ran CC Cleaner a few times until the scan came back clean.  I then reinstalled TSR Launcher and it is working well again.   Hope this works for all of you as well.  Good luck

@cadiva, I agree with styphon.  I was pissed that the program moved the files too. I know darn well that they are just copies, but I rely on those copies. What happens if I need to install the game again, cadiva? I need to visit all the web sites and try to find the files all over again, a process that can take days, IF I can find them at all. But if they are safe and sound in that directory, then I do not have to worry about it.  I prefer having the knowledge that these files are backed up, and therefore you should NOT move them.  Maybe you delete them all, save yourself some hard drive space, others like to have a back up file in case something happens, and don't like those files being erased or moved, please be more considrate of these facts.  I hope JFADE reads this too, since this is a post that is directed mostly at him. In fact JFADE should fix up some more things by the looks of it....

If you check your logs folder I bet you'll find some logs that say something about "unexpected end of file" or something similar. If you have this problem, please send me a PM on the forums and we can arrange for you to send the bad files to me so I can figure out WHAT exactly is wrong with them and how to get the program to bypass them at startup without causing other issues. I was pretty sure that it would bypass them already but apparently not...<br /> With respect to it "erasing all your content", this is not possible at all with how this program works. It doesn't erase ANYTHING at any time. It does move files around, but only as needed. Refer to the post in the forum (link below) for an explanation of how it does everything.<br /> The Launcher will likely not install .package files anytime soon. They'd have to be converted into Sims3Pack files first, and while this is feasible, it's not a core function that I'm interested in making right away.

This is an extremely useful program. I just organized 1,600 Sims3Packs. Took me several days but, I got that down to 1,100. The one feature I'd like to request would be to move files to a different destination. I don't always want to simply delete certain content. Also, it'd be great to filter items before installing them so that I can add a file prefix i.e. PATTERN typed in front of all pattern files. But thanks again for the hard work.

When I firtst used it, I was only viewing and deleting and renaming several large folders of organized Sims3Packs, which is what I've needed, BUT I didn't need to install anything at that time. Now that I've cleaned things up and re-organized everything, I'm at exactly 2,834 Sims3Packs that I'd like to install. I tried hitting Install on that huge folder and left it for an hour or so and, it didn't do anything. I just thought I'd try. So, tonight I tried just a single file and the installation has been initializing for ages now! Sigh, I guess I'll have to go the .package route again *cry* *cry* *sob* *sob* *sob*

So I went to (IE C:\Program Files\The Sims Resource\TSR Launcher\pending\)and deleted the last file that corrupted the program. Then the program worked perfectly. So if you can remember the last file you tried to install you can go in and fix the problem. Also, the size of the corrupt file that I found in the pending folder was 0 so that may be an indicator. Hope this helps.

For those having the issue "Game path doesn't seem to br an EXE files..." it means that the game path is not properly set in your TSR Launcher.  To fix it, uninstall the launcher. Then go to C:\Program Files\The Sims Resource (or wherever you installed it) and delete the TSR Launcher folder. Then reinstall. That should allow you to reset the path. Alternatively you could navigate to C:\Program Files\The Sims Resource\TSR Launcher\config, then open options.txt and make sure that your game path is correct. If it's not, update it to point to your game installation. For instance mine reads "F:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3.exe".  Note: yours will probably be different from mine, so copying and pasting my path will not work.

I'm perfectly fine with multiple downloads to get items into the game, i just don't want viruses! my computers barley limping by and i know that a virus is the last thing this baby can take! I've heard a lot of good comments bad comments and awsome comments (very detailed) about this item... I just need to know what im working withIf I do get a comment back... THANK YOU SO MUCH!! If theres maybe a tutorial or something out there that can explain of main sims site downloading please refer it. Any help though is much appreciated Im not asking for actuall makign items help, just the ability to download Selective items straight from the site great creators get themTHANK YOU!!

So the stuff I bought from store cant be installed with this?

Seems this is a common problem? User error? And is there a instruction, walkthrough or guide that we can look up?

I've been trying to use TSR Launcher to install a big group of content, but it would never show up in the game. The problem was apparently that I was trying to play the game on a Standard User account (Win7), but TSR Launcher had to be run (via UAC) through the different Administrator account. I confirmed this by logging into the admin account and found that the content was showing when I ran TS3. To try to fix the problem, I ended up deleting the original Administrator account after making the Standard User account an Administrator. I then restarted, uninstalled and reinstalled TSR Launcher, and tried again to install the content. It still isn't showing up, even though there is no other account to be installing it to. Any ideas?

I had the same problem to begin with (worked first time, wouldn't start up after that). I moved all the files out of the 'pending' folder (Program Files/The Sims Resource/TSR Launcher/pending) back into the usual downloads folder, deleted any that were 0 bytes, then relaunched the prog. It started up fine, so I installed everything again, only this time, I checked the list for any failures, and deleted them before closing the prog. By doing this, it fires up and works without any problems. Hope this helps, and thanks for the prog, cos I'm one of the many for whom the official launcher won't work

Sounds like something I need. I stopped downloading stuff because I get tired of waiting for stuff to load and then my launcher stops responding. And it takes a LONG time for my launcher to open up.

Ran into problem with CUSTARD - suddenly started turning all CC into corrupt files if I deleted .png or wonky CC, then saved. Thought to use this to identify those files so I could only install the CC that it hadn't corrupted. Worked with the first bunch but, when I moved them out of the folder (without installing, only viewing) and put in a new batch of files (that I was trying to keep separate because of CUSTARD), it will no longer load them into TS3L. I moved the first batch of s3ps out of the Temporary folder before putting the new batch in. Then, when I couldn't get it to show up, I went to the site and downloaded the recent file....but it still wouldn't work. I uninstalled TS3L then reinstalled with the new download. I no longer have the .exe file and have to click on the desktop shortcut (which I hate for the clutter) and I still have nothing showing up in the launcher. The new batch is only in the Downloads folder because there is no folder for Temporary. All I've got are Config, Lib & Log files, a temp.dat file, .ini, .msi and the shortcut....not what I had when I started! This has been a nightmare...between CUSTARD corrupting my files and the Launcher not working now....I'm about to pull everything out and start over with a clean install (if that's even possible - I remember what an issue it was with TOS).

There is a very simple way to install more than one .sims3pack. When in the EA launcher you simply select all the CC you want to install and then you click on install. Yes, you have to wait for it to load before it does the three-second installation, but it's three seconds for all CC you are installing. btw, this is the only site I know where you have to download in .sims3pack apart from sims3.com. MTS, TSC, etc. use .package files which are much quicker and easier to install (a simple copy/paste job and tada!), even before the Ambitions update.

Worked great until last night. It opened once but wouldn't show the files I queued to install. After that it wouldn't start at all. Also, the files were no longer in their original directory. ***********************FIX*********************** It's a bad simpack file apparently. All the files are moved to the program directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims Resource\TSR Launcher\pending on my 64bit Windows 7). Move those simpack files to a temporary folder. Then, move half of them to the folder you use to install simpack files. Try to open the TSR Launcher and install them. If it doesn't work, repeat (remember to again move the pending files) with the remaining half of the files. If they work, then the broken file is in the first half. Continue sorting til you find it. If neither half works, then you probably have more then one bad file and need to sort one by one or try installing different combinations of files. I don't know if this affects what is in the game. I haven't opened mine up yet, still installing files. But this gets YSR Launcher to work properly.

Download file for this program doesn't exist anymore. I downloaded some objects as .tsr (since given that option for download and installation to game) and now, I find out that this program doesn't exist. Is there a substitute launcher somewhere to handle this type of file?  Thanks for your help.

Maybe it's time for a serious update, because it did the same thing with my CC, plus it somehow changed something in my game files so that I had to reinstall everything. Does not increase TSR's reputation, it really doesn't.

Well I believe the Launcher fragged my Sims 3 installed. This afternoon I played Sims 3 just fine, no errors. I go and download the Launcher and for awhile the game worked. But just now I was trying to install some CC with TSR Launcher and get this error. Unable to Start Game Device 0 Cannot Run this Title No Supported Video Graphics Card Detected. Please Check Your System Hardware   So I thought the Launcher was fragged, so I went to uninstall it and went to install my CC with EA's Launcher. Got the same error message. So I decided to just try and run the game, again got the same error message.   As I said I had no problems running Sims 3 before installing the Launcher, and the Launcher is the only thing I have installed today. So I would expect that my new problems now stem from it. I really don't want to have to uninstall everything just so I can get the game running again.

well not working for me... when I open the launcher, it's not showing me any of my packs in the download folder. After closing it, all my DL content was gone! found it in the poigrams install directory in a folder called pending. so, now my files are there in this folder. what now? does that mean, they are automatically installed, or what? and why do they not show up in the launcher?

So I loaded my sims3packs and installed them, but through your launcher it says that they were all installed incorrectly, yet the installer itself says they were all successful. I opened my EA launcher and there they all were with the status as installed. I ran your launcher again and the launcher said that everything was already installed yet all the packs are still in the to be installed queue. I'm running a Windows 7 64 bit.

Okay, so I installed it, but since I manage my downloads in subfolders of the downloads folder.. How can I work with the TSR launcher? And after uninstalling, the sims3pack files that where actually in my downloads folder (where I keep files I haven't tested yet) have disappeared.. Where can I find them? Or are they deleted with the uninstalling? Thanks! (and... I guess it's not a problem caused by the TSR launcher, but by my own lack of knowledge haha)

Great Idea! Very easy for downloads. But unfortunately the program only works from time to time. Sometimes it copies the TSR files as they are in the "pending" folder and opens an empty program. At best, it works if I download inconvenient the files as a .zip file, unzip into the "pending" folder and then manually start the TSR Launcher. Allow to install, wait until installation is finished and after that delete the files of the "pending" folder.This way is very uncomfortable and I would like to use the way using the TSR files. Is there any support?

This launcher has become extreeeeemely slow. I still love the concept, however. I also constantly get the error about things that weren't able to install correctly and were being kept in the pending file. But when I look at the "install" tab again, it includes basically everything and nothing got moved to the "manage" tab, keeping the stuff that did install successfully in the manage or pending tab. I think this really needs an update. Where did the developer go?
