How do you manage your store items?

Hi, I usually install very basic store items when I create a new sims3 folder and backup this to other place like Google drive. And then, I add more items while playing game, then when the DCCache folder cause an error, then I just bring the one back from Google drive and replace it. I thought it was the really good idea to manage all store items. But you know that the store worlds don't come up on the list of the main menu after creating a new sims 3 folder for the new start and moving all DCCache and DCBackup folder, Worldcaches, etc.. In Launcher, they are all installed already but actually there's no store worlds are shown on the world list in main menu. So Is there any easier way to manage the store items without removing and reinstalling?
  • @Jeansoo, here is a folder named “InstalledWorlds” inside “The Sims 3” folder. Move its content to the new one and the worlds would show up properly.
    BTW, if you also need the premade venues from store, they are inside the “Library” folder. However, the file names are some HEX code. You may move all of them to new folder and delete unwanted ones in game.
  • Well I wish I could help you, but i know there are many out here who can. Me I just download things from the store and there they are, I do not do anything special with them, wolrds always turn up on the list and I just pick one to play, while in play all my store items are there. I have never had a SCCache error. Not sure what Google drive is. Not sure about a new sims 3 folder. well I do delete Dccach except for the last one, and I delete catch files like script cache, Composition Cache etc. My saves are all on my computer when I open sims to play. Sorry I can't help but like I said I am sure someone will help you.
  • @skybaker Thanks. I think I forgot to move Installed World folder. I moved only worldcaches... LOL. Thank you.:)
