Default "You must install the associated premium content before installing this style"
Hi guys.
I like having The Sims 3 Store content installed in .sims3pack format from the launcher. However, there are a few sets that give the error "You must install the associated premium content before installing this style". I assume it's because EA added a custom style to some furniture. Is there any way to "repair" these .sims3pack files? (Other than placing them as .package files.)
Thanks.

Villa Paraiso is quite tricky since EA put a lot of stuff in that house from other sets that had been released before. If you install the decrap one, you're going to encounter that problem

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the strange thing is that the house uses furniture and items that I already have in the game from other sets. I think the problem is the custom styles that EA used, but I don't understand why it can't install different styles like it installs anything else.

well, you can uninstall all of them first and then install Villa Paraiso again. I used to install it as a package, but since the lot doesn't have any unique feature and there are lots of Spanish villa builds on internet, honestly it's not worth all the efforts.
