for **bleep** sake EA, sort it out as im not the only person with these issues. now im trying to install it and get it working through steam only but i tryed that so many times. ea game launcher whats rubbish and through steam and i carnt get any one working properly. ive got over 9000 items for the sims but they dont show up. files just to get it to work with create a world tool. i got the game through steam, and i had to edit the redg. EA dont care and there no issues i found what works. I believe one of my caches was corrupted, so if yours isn't this may not work. I definitely believe there are extraneous steps here, but when I was troubleshooting mine I just did a lot to be thorough and hope that it worked. Play The Sims 3 and see if your DLC is there. Open the launcher and install your downloaded content slowly (5 or 6 files at a time)- not entirely sure if the amount installed makes a difference orĩ. *I don't remember for sure if I did this or not* Delete all of the files inside of DCBackup (My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/DCBackup)Ĩ. Open the the folder DCCache just inside of The Sims 3 folder (My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/DCCache) and delete all of the files inħ. Open the Download Folder (My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Content Patch/Download) and delete all of the files ending in. Open the Content Patch folder (My Documents/Electronic Arts/The SIms 3/Content Patch) and delete ContentPatch.package.ĥ. : Information about the social aspects (Introduced with Patch 1.31Ĥ.

SimCompositorCache.package : New Sims, default skins For more information about these files and the restĬasPartCache.package : CAS parts that appear in Create-A-SimĬompositorCache.package : New objects that would appear in Buy/Build mode I deleted the following files from My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 (not the backup folder). Copy the entire Sims 3 folder and paste it at a different location (desktop etc) as a backup folder in case something goes wrong.ģ. Go into My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims3Ģ.

I'll walk you through the steps I took and hopefully they will work for you too For (what I believe) the most likely one step solution skip to 6ġ. I'm not sure exactly what I did that fixed it (I tried multiple things).
