Re: Sims 3 - Sunlit Tides Gold Addon Install Issues

Ok. Try the following

  • Go to documents\electronicarts\thesims3\DCCache
  • Move all files *.ebc and missingdeps.idx to the desktop (or some other location)
  • Go to documents\electronicarts\thesims3\InstalledWorlds and delete all files from Store Worlds (Riverview, Sunlit Tides, Lucky Palms ..)
  • Go to documents\electronicarts\thesims3\DCBackup and delete all files. You only really need the ccmerged.package file in there. The rest is junk. Since we're reinstalling all Store Content, the ccmerged.package file will be recreated, so don't worry about it.
  • Now all your Store Content will be uninstalled. That's how it's supposed to be at this point
  • If you still have the downloaded files, you can start reinstalling. Start with Sunlit Tides and check after the installation if it's in the game or not
  • If Sunlit Tides works fine, install the rest of your Store content. Starting with worlds, lots, set then single items. Install them in groups and not in one go. The files in DCCache should be around 200 - 500 MB depending on your machine.
  • If you don't have the files, you can redownload them from your Purchase History.

    Hi crinrict

    I followed your instructions as to fix this download error in Sunlit Tides, I moved the .ebc, missingdeps.idx to an folder on my desktop.  I deleted all the installed worlds and deleted everything in DCBackup accept for the file ccmerged.package file.

    Tried to install Sunlit Tides again from my purcase history and I still get the same error.

    My game version now is 10.0.96.018001

    Base game version is 1.39.3.018002

    All my bought store items is now in my download menu as un-installed.

    Please can you help me, I just don't know what to do any more

    Thanks

    Yes, you need to reinstall everything.

    But first lets see about sunlit tides since you should install that first.

    What error are you getting ?
