ATTENTION! New Body Shop Bug!!!!111!1eleven
Ambular:
Thanks for the heads-up. This makes the second (and by far the more serious) BodyShop issue I've seen crop up with BV, which I would say is now pretty much uncontested for the title of Buggiest Piece-Of-Crap EP to date... :p
J. M. Pescado:
People still actually *USE* the default package installer? Isn't that a piece of known epic fail that produces mangled, unintelligible filenames and anyone who uses it deserves whatever crap is bestowed upon them for it?
Ambular:
Hmm, Beos, are you sure the extraneous file you're getting is actually Sims05.package? Because in my game that file is only 367 KB and contains only an NMAP and a bunch of SHPE's, no CRES's. Could something else have gotten squished in with it or misnamed?
jfade:
Hrm... Well, the compression tool should compress the file exactly the same every time, it's not like an algorithm that varies or anything. As long as the duplicate meshes are all compressed, they should still have the same checksum IF the meshes are each in standalone files. I can understand that the checksums would be different if one mesh was bundled in the same package as a recolor and then the original, standalone mesh package would have a different checksum, but otherwise I don't know why they'd have a different checksum. Unless, of course, the Bodyshop changes the meshes when it bundles them in some way or otherwise screws things up.
Sounds like the problem though is especially bad for Mac users as they don't HAVE another way to install Sims2Packs, they can ONLY use the installer that comes with the game. And, assuming that Aspyr uses the same Bodyshop code, their Bodyshop probably has this same stupid bug and they have no way to clean anything they create...
Stupid EAxis.
Paleoanth:
Can I post some of this information over at the official BBS? I would like to see them answer this. I will state that I found this at insim and direct people how to find the full thread and just copy and paste relevant parts that I will make clear I did not write.
