Ok. Weird. I do not think that Macs are different then PCs so you should have that folder.
Can you hover over the icon before it goes away to see if it gives any further info ?
Nothing is coming up and i cant find that folder anywhere :/
Create one and see if it makes a difference.
Are you missing any other folders ? Here is what you should have: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/01/faq-user-files.html
I do not have the follwing folders:
Collections
Content Patch
I created the DCBackup file
I dont have the resource.cfg file if that helps?
Also I thought I should mention, theres some files just in the sims 3 folder not in a specific one
DeviceConfig.log
ScpritCache.package
simCompositorCahce.package
Sims3LauncherLogFile.log
tslus.bin
Version.tag
You don't need that. That's only if you have third party content in package file form.
Yeah, those files are fine.
When you re-open the launcher, do the files show up as installed still or not anymore ?
It shows them as installed in the Installed content tab yes
You do have a DCCache folder, yes ?
Could you post a picture of it's content. Make sure the file sizes show on the pic (or just post the names and the sizes you have in there)
Its empty
OK. That's why nothing is installed. There should be files in there.
Are you sure your documents folder isn't write-protected or something ?
No I allowed downloads from parties other than apple. So this is the problem, but there has never been files in there
1. Should I install content in a different place somehow?
2. Most downloads on the sims 3 exchange still say "Please update your game" even though my base game is at 1.42
Have we tried the factory reset yet: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/ ?
Do you use add to game or save file when downloading from the exchange ? With save file a lot of exchange items throw that error.
I use add to game
Do I have to register all my games on the sims 3 website? Could that be why
Don't think you need to. Did you register the base game ?
Yea, Ive tried everything I have no idea what to do
Me neither. I'm sorry.
Have you checked the Mac forum: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/forums/show/205.page if someone has a similar problem ?
