Awhile back the USB portion of my Collector's Edition plumbob broke (now I just have a sad plumbob). I know that there were files on it, but I can't remember what they are, nor do I have a copy of them. I was looking for where I could find a lone plumbob, but I can only find full Collector's, which I don't need and I don't want to spend another $60 or so on it. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do about it? Is there a place for the files? (Again, there are files, right? Or am I delusional).And sorry if this isn't in the right place.

Some of us never had the pleasure of holding the plumbob over someone else's head and saying, "Ha ha, you're the active sim now!" Sounds like it should provide hours of hilarious fun. Or something. :p

@igazor Haha nice try. I'm keeping it for sentimental value. Besides it's only 2GB, and the plumbob is really really tiny. What's more interesting is that I'm pretty sure I had some sort of collector album book with early concept art of TS3 but I'm not sure where it is or how I got it. Sorry I was getting confused with TS4 collectors edition.

I've uploaded the files here if anyone's curious.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9RJX_wmYuCDSlNNaGZyUWQ0bDA

@nickibitsward - Very kind of you but actually no, I was joking, and I have plenty of USB thumb drives around me most of the time anyway. Who knows what files I've put on which ones anymore.

@phoebebebe13 - Please cancel my next appointment for a makeover. I think I'm going to try that lady who operates out of the back of a van parked to the side of the New Jersey Turnpike instead next time. She's been getting some really good Yelp reviews lately. :p

From what I understand, the USB drives came with promotional files on them like TS3 theme music, desktop pictures, and screensavers, but nothing meant to be used by the game.

Thank you so much! I knew it wasn't anything for ingame, and that it wasn't anything special, but I still wanted the files. I'm just happy the main plumbob didn't get busted, just the tip and the usb that was connected.
