How To Install Store Items
My old step-by-step guide on how to install your store items without duplicate files with all the links has disappeared! It was here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/807788/reinstall-store...

@PeterTheSims3 -
The picture in the first post shows the order I installed in, and it's the first page of the spreadsheet. So, I installed the patterns first and then largest world: Midnight Hollow Gold complete with the toy shop. I also threw in the bow tie shoes and the mid-century dining chair in that file because there was room and I didn't want to forget to do them. (The chair is geeked up in the set, so it needs to be installed first. And, the bow tie shoes were left out of the set they are shown in.) That's the short hand on line "0" at the top of the spread sheet.
After installing them, I move out that file and install IN ORDER: Riverview (RV), Lunar Lakes (LL), Lucky Palms (standard, not gold as the casino is included in a compilation), and Sunlit Tides Gold with the retreat. The file then had room for me to include the carousel in it, but only when I installed them in that order! That file is then renamed to end in "1" instead of the "0" that you get when installing it. Then you move it out to join the first file that ended in zero.
The next line shows that I installed two worlds, but only the standard versions of them (not the venues that come with them). I used Gold lettering and included the venues when I installed the gold version, but just black lettering and no venue when I installed just the world. (I also included the note: WORLD ONLY in red to help you know that is what I did.) Then reasoning here was file size only I think. These two worlds were all that fit in this file that is renamed to end in "2" and moved to join the others.
I hope this helps explain the data better to you. The first page (shown in the pic in the first thread) is how I installed based on file sizes after compression on my system. The real file names and all the various sizes are what you find on the other tabs of the spreadsheet just in case you don't own everything (and of course to explain my shortened titles of the files).
