Store Content failing to install!!

The message about making sure Sims 3 is up to date is just a generic error message, not really about whether your game is fully updated or not. If an item fails to install properly, try deleting the existing .Sims3Pack (in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads) and downloading a new copy, then installing that item on its own, not in a batch with anything else. If this doesn't work either, please let me know what items aren't installing properly.

By the way, would it be a huge pain to reinstall all your store content? If you don't want to do it, that's understandable, and there are other ways to get this store stuff installed. The question is which approach is more convenient for you.

Also this has just started happening since I started using the digital downloads on origin. Have all the hard copies of all of the sims3

@DarkLady2788 If you do have to reinstall everything, this is the best way to do it:

No duplicates and no items that don't install because the ebc file breaks in half at an inopportune place.

@puzzlezaddict ots sorted reinstall everything back to the C drive in my pc my lad installed it to the D drive the EA folder was In my C drive so think the game was looking through the D drive for the EA folder. It has been working perfectly since

As I recall the tea set didn't actually come with a venue, but a Sim Guru made one for us around when it was released that has to be downloaded from the Exchange separately.

But anyway, I would also expect to find the tea table itself (with the teapot and doily attached) under Surfaces. When these individual set object fail to show up where we expect them in Build/Buy, sometimes they do show up under Collections.

The tea table is where @Auroraskies recalls, right near/at the beginning of the dining table section.

Also, if you plan to place the mill up by the falls in SV, make sure to grab the companion lot, also, that replaces the standard falls lot:

@Sonshine77 Did you specifically look for Grandpa's Grove in empty houses? It's not listed with other community lots, it's a residential lot that shows up in the houses tab.

I'm not sure what you mean by removing DCBackup; it's DCCache that holds installed store content, plus a lot would get an entry in Library as well. The only file that matters in DCBackup is ccmerged.package, and the same copy of that file needs to be present when you install all your premium store items, or they won't work. (Or you can download someone else's copy, since the file itself isn't store stuff, it's just data that allows the premium content to have its special interactions.)

Good day. I bought two stalls from you. One for lemonade and one for fruit. The one for fruit doesn't work as it should. As you promise in the menu. It cannot be filled with fruit.
