I was checking out my sims game when I accidentally pressed a couple of buttons and all my .package CC turned into Internet Explorer files.. Literally with the icon. I need them back and I have no idea how to fix this.. Can someone help me?
If you use s3Pe, try uninstalling s3pe and then reinstall it.
That should re-assigne package files to s3pe (or at least give you the option to do so)
You must have associated your package files with the IE.
Check if this helps you changing it back to nothing: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7
package files are not usually associate with any program unless you have s3pe on your computer (don't worry if you don't know what that is)
It didn't help but thank you for the solution ^_^ and if you or someone else can also reply to this, even with them having the IE icon, can they still work properly, like a normal .package?
Were you not able to remove the association or is the icon still there ?
It should not influence the way package files work.
Both.. the icon is still on every package file, even the UserPresets and I couldn't remove it. I have s3pe but it wasn't an option.
If you use s3Pe, try uninstalling s3pe and then reinstall it.
That should re-assigne package files to s3pe (or at least give you the option to do so)
Okay, I'll try it. Thank you Crin, you're a big help to the Sims 3 gaming community ^_^
If you or someone can reply one more time, I had to re-install my sims and I did exactly what you told me to, all packages are associated with s3pe, and all icons are s3p's, is that okay? Can it work like that? xP
Yes. That's fine.
If you double click on a file they'll be opened with s3pe but the game itself does not care about the associated program.
Thank you so much ^_^ I have never been happier 😃 Crin, thank you for helping this Sims 3 community cx
You're very welcome.
Happy Simming!
