How to decrapify a .Sims3Pack file and avoid the "Please update game launcher" error.
Hello,
Here's my "decrapifying setup" for your convenience:
Download Link!
If you ever run into a package or sims3pack that won't install (the "failure due to software update") you can now decrapify them quickly and easily.
There's a user guide included, which will tell you exactly what to do.
Admin edit: This might not work for some The Sims 3 Exchange items. If you still get this specific error after trying to install a .Sims3Pack file, try this little guide here: https://www.games4theworld.club/t7029-the-sims-3-cc-please-make-sure-your-game-has-the-latest-software-updates-and-try-again-error-s-100-solution

Thank you so much for this I just saw this and I come here all the time to read and keep up with what's going on I don't know I how I missed this again thank you all so much for what you do. Because every once in a while I get a simpack that says did not install and you need to update your game .

I think i'm doing this wrong. I'm dragging and dropping the sims3pack from the downloads file onto the decrapifyer and it says Adding Rar files is not supported. So yeah.... :/ lol

You have to unpack the rar file first, then drag the sims3pack files from the resulting folder. You'll need WinRAR to unpack the files, it can be found HERE

Re: How to decrapify a .Sims3Pack file and avoid the "Please update game launcher" error.
Will I have to decrapify the new EP (seasons, that contains sunlit tides?) if not, then i'll just wait then b/c winrar did not want to be nice and when I had the keygen and saving it, it was like there is no winrar exe there. So i'm fed up with all of this. In the directions, you guys need to write that you must unpack the rar file. Instead of sending me through loops. I'm confused and annoyed. I appreciate all the help i've been given by the helpers, mainly Dracos66. It's just not dumbified enough for me. You guys may think it is, but the only way I got the EPs installed was by watching the video that Admin presented to the site! If you guys could produce one, i'm sure i'd be able to follow it. I know i'm not the only one that visits the site that has issues with the decrapifyer. Thank you all.

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that got you confused. I never thought of adding that to the user manual. Since it already says "Copy the sims3pack(s) ..." and because I don't come across rarred sims3packs a lot, most are uploaded "as is".
If you download anything from this site, there will be no need to decrapify the items since that has already been done.
There will be no need to decrapify new expansion or stuff packs. Sunlit Tides however, does not come with Seasons, it's a world from the Sims store which is available now, while Seasons won't be available until mid-November.

Re: How to decrapify a .Sims3Pack file and avoid the "Please update game launcher" error.
Oh ok, well I guess I haven't mentioned that I download all sims 3 stuff (EPs, SPs, worlds, store updates, fixes) from games4theworld mediafire account. So maybe downloading the sunlit tides one too many times and trying to decrapify all the packages could have had a play in the issue. But it's definitely not your fault, you put your directions very well. I even had a friend read it and he was like I understand. I get what it says. But winrar didn't want the keygen to work or something. But anyway, I wasn't trying to blame you guys or anything. It's just a headache if I think I understand it but then when doing the process I fail at the end. I have teamviewer and raidcall. So if admin or any of the helpers have a free day where they have a free hour to assist me, let me know and we can work it out to where it fits into your schedule. I'm going to try winrar again. Thanks everyone.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, or if it was answered in the guide (which I can't open considering I don't have MS07). What does decrapify mean?

It means removing the "security" that EA puts on their stuff (Read: .Sims3Pack files).

Or, taking out the "crap" (= ecryption).

Hello,
I see what you mean, and it's just this download. Very odd, I'll ask Admin to look into it.

I watched a review of that game yesterday. Looks like some kind of GTA, if I'm not mistaken.
I'll also look into the MediaFire problem and report back if I have more information.

Hi there,
Haha, looks like you really enjoyed the movie(s)!
After posting my previous message, I immediately did a re-upload of the Sunlit Tides world, so it should work fine now.
Please let me know though, if you run into any more problems with the MediaFire downloads!
Thank you for your support!

Re: How to decrapify a .Sims3Pack file and avoid the "Please update game launcher" error.
Hello Lady ElDi, I just want to say THANK YOU for your "decrapifying setup" also for the user guide. I always have second thoughts whenever I come across these stuffs from other sites. I'm afraid I might harm the computer I'm using But when I saw this post it's like a ray of light from heavens. I'm also happy because the set I wanted to add was at the G4TW mediafire account and it's already decrapifed
