If the same starts happening again, go back to that backup so you don't need to start over. When you're done, backup the DCCache folder. Start with the worlds, then lots, then sets and single items last.

It's best ro reinstall all Store content, using this method: The more stuff you have, the greater the chance that files which have your stuff installed get messed up. It displays lots of sims 3 downloadable content onto one website (the link I have pasted here will lead to the kids section' Some of the downloads are free and some are not - it is really handy though it takes a while to sift through 16 pages of kids room things. Unfortunately, the Launcher is a very unreliable tool. I installed my Store Content but it's not showing up in my game

If anyone has had a similar issue and can tell me how to fix this I'd appreciate it. Google search has yet to yield a solution that works.

3 different browsers failed to download purchased content from the Store.Custom content works, store content doesn't.I've tried Mozilla, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer all with no success IE just sent me to a blank error screen while Chrome and Mozilla simply didn't react to my clicking the download link in any way (I suspect Java or something might be the culprit but I'm not savy enough with this kind of thing to know for sure). So I deleted the store content in the launcher in anticipation of re-downloading it when I hit the next problem: I can't download one stinking thing from The Sims 3 store. So I tried reinstalling all the store content in The Sims 3 launcher.no dice.every store purchased item returned a "failed to install, please make sure The Sims 3 is the current version" or something along those lines. For the most part it went smoothly, my saves and households were there and all the expansions and stuff packs installed correctly however none of The Sims 3 store content was visable in game, even though the custom content worked fine. Custom Content may cause the game to behave. Custom Content is created by 3 rd Party Developers that are not regulated by Electronic Arts or The Sims 3 Development Team and may not work with new updates. I recently downloaded all the Sims 3 content I had previously purchased on Steam, onto Origin. Custom Content is all Sims content that did not come from an official The Sims 3 Update, The Sims 3 Store, Expansion Pack, or Stuff Pack.
