My friends have encouraged me to share my builds all in one place. So here I am. I was pretty surprised as I was getting everything ready just how many lots I've built in the past 8 months. So, gonna ...
Ok, EVERYTHING has been cleaned and reposted. All links are restored. If you have installed any of my content, please delete it immediately and check your build catalog for the item:
Arezzo Bathroom CounterRight
It actually appears in your catalog in two pieces, the left side and the right. And if you place it in game, then move it, it changes entirely.
If the item is not in your catalog, and you have not exported/shared anything up to the web, then deleting my original lots should clean out your games. You may want to clean your installed content to be safe, but your saves should be clean and you shouldn't have any problem playing them going forward. But, if you want to continue playing your primary game and are concerned about it being infected, there is a way to insulate that game from all others. Let me know if this is something you are interested in and I'll get you the information.
I have done a little research and determined that the original, corrupt file was only posted by the creator for one day. One day. Too bad she is such a good designer and her stuff is so popular. Right?
Okay, in review. Delete any of my creations you've installed. Check your registry for the counter. If it isn't there, your game/file wasn't infected.
And, in my personal opinion, if you do not create/share content, I would not be overly worried. This thing only misbehaves when you hit the "Share" button. It does nothing until then. crinrict's blog never mentions games being infected. She never mentions half of the measures I've taken to clean out my system, but that is because my launcher malfunctioned and also because I needed to clean the files that I knew were on the web. I am providing as much information as I can find out from the web and fellow Simmers to err on the safe side. What you decide to do is up to you.
