Move if needed. It might be more of a technical question.
Anyways, I'm currently on a backup laptop, running the base game and pretty much making sims for my projects and the Swap Shop. I backed up all my store content onto an external drive, and decided to move it back into my game. However, I only used the .package files of them that were found in the DCBackup folder, since the Launcher makes me want to pull my hair out. I put the packages into the Mods folder, and they work like a charm in my game.
I'm currently making a sim that's wearing a top I got from The Store, but it's installed as a .package file and has the little blue folder icon next to it in CAS, instead of the shopping bag that my normally-installed store content does. If I uploaded him to the Swap Shop, would his clothes not transfer even if the downloader in question had the store items normally installed via the Launcher? I wouldn't want to cause any havoc, and I'll dress him in plain, base-game stuff if it won't work.
