I am saying that you have to reinstall the game and any Expansion/Stuff Packs.
Installed sims3pack content resides in bundles within the DCCache folder. You should be able to just copy that over or let it come over with the entire user game folder but sometimes store content gets stubborn and needs to be reinstalled.

DirectX isn't worth worrying about unless you have a problem getting the game running.
