Amjoie,
Thank you for this great guide! It is so useful, and we should keep it bumped regularly.
I have a question. I already keep a nice download file using HollownessDevours guide to Own the Store. I don't understand your part about the folder "Install First" items. I have been looking around, and can't find more info on this. Can you point me in the right direction on these items? Are they just the items with added textures? I install all my full sets, and then single non-set items, then the itmes from sets I haven't completed, so as to have no overlap.
I have so much stuff in game now, I sometimes wonder if its all there! I don't want to miss anything! So please let me know about these items that should be installed separately first.
Anyway, thanks again!
The "install first" items are two objects with two textures that will not show up in your game if they are only installed with the set they are supposed to come with, because the textures are missing in the set (but present in the objects downloaded individually). So, you have to download and and install those two items separately, in order for the textures to show up. Otherwise you get blank icons, where the textures are supposed to be.
And the separately downloaded objects with the textures have to be installed BEFORE the set they came with, or the textures will not be recognized, because the Launcher will just say they have already been installed the set (when they weren't). So I install those two objects first, to make sure the textures will be recognized in my game.

I know, that Amjoie has already answered on this question on the same page where it was posted. I think, that only those items aren't installing correctly if installed as a part of sets.
But in forum is already present whole list of single items (Sims3Packs) with textures included (author Metallicjunior: List of items that come with Textures. :)).

Thank you Amjoie & Bily_jednorozec! That is very helpful, as I have wondered at the blank spaces in my textures! Next time I redo everything, I will download and install these first!
Awesome thread, Amjoie!
