Thank you all @phoebebebe13 @igazor @Simplyjen for trying to help. What you said @igazor seems what likely happened. Before coming back here, I had started to copy over files to the new Sims 3 folder, and what I discovered was that what wasn't loading was indeed the store content. So, I guess I get the joyful job of downloading it all again, or since I saved the downloads in a separate file after installing, I guess I could start putting them in downloads and installing a few at a time. I suppose I should dump dccache and dcbackup that I copied from my old sims 3 file?
