"Store Edition" has screwed up my game

I went to the official site today and downloaded the "Store Edition",
because one of the free downloads (the charismatic mirror) looked
interesting. Well, I guess that was really stupid of me, because now my
Inteenimator and ACR functions are disabled. I didn't realize that the
"Store Edition" seems to be the equivalent of a different EP. I am
bummed. Can I delete the stupid "Store Edition" and return my game to
where it was before, or do I have to uninstall and reload everything?

Thanks. I used to have dialup and was never able to explore much; now I
have DSL and can do fast downloads and apparently it's gotten me in
trouble!

In regards to your question, that depends. I bought the stuff packs, so I
have no need for that or any other paysite for Sims2 stuff.

The only thing I can recommend is to get your money back, and buy the Ikea
pack. I hope that uninstalling this stuff returns your game to normal.

Make sure you have the latest versions of ACR and Inteen, that's worth a
try, and also make sure you have switched on custom content. If it's
behaving like a new EP it might have reset that as well.

What katy said - and, yes, I do believe it does behave like a new EP
(welcome to the rabid version of Securom). However, I have a suspicion
you're stuffed. Most of the modding community don't approve of the Store
and hacks haven't been updated for it. Honestly, buying stuff from there
just encourages EA to rip us off more. It's incredibly overpriced.

Yup - I figured that out. Uninstalled "Store Edition" last night and
had to put my mods back in...all seems OK now. Pretty brazen takeover
-- reminds me of Norton.

I've not heard anyone say anything good about it. Well, I'm glad you sorted
it out. You do know, don't you, that Inteen will not be updated for AL?

No, I did not know that!! Why not? Just to protest the securom? If
so, I can understand it.

Probably will eliminate any chance of my purchasing AL. Though if ACR
is updated, I'll have to think about it.

Inteen will be updated for AL. I just read it here. Good for those who use
the mod.

No, Jase has just had enough. He's going off to do something more
interesting with his life.

But Lonestarvln points us to a new message from Jase posted today. Inteen
is moving to 2Jeff's site (Simbology) and he's updating it ONE MORE TIME for
AL.

Way to go, Jase. Great guy.

Good for him but I will miss Inteen, I can tell you.

That's kind of, well, I don't want to say stupid, but.. silly.. I mean
it's the last EP, so it's the last time he'd have to do anything with
it.

Last I heard he was planning on updating for AL and then finally quitting.
Whichever way he goes I'm just glad he's done so much already.

He announced it yesterday at the Inteen site.

You still have not told me you saw my post with the link. The reason I keep
asking is that for the past week, several of my posts have not made it
through. Then the ones that come through, I see them but maybe not everybody
is seeing them? I know maxon saw the one with the link but I'm still not
convinced that others are seeing my posts. Oh well...I need to go check out
some new hair I downloaded. haha

Mmmm, no. I've looked through every recent thread, and there's no post
from you with a link :\

Apparantly he told TwoJeffs a little while ago and since then Simbology has
been buzzing with it.

Since you've been having hassles with missing posts, thought I'd confirm
your post shows up here.
