@FlyingSnerzFM When you download from the store you need to use the launcher. Open control panel - click default programs - click associate a file type or protocol with a program - click choose default apps by file type - look for .Sims3Pack. If it entry for .Sims3Pack in not Sims3Launcher change it to Sims3Launcher. When you download a .Sims3Pack you need to open the launcher so the file will download to the download tab of the launcher.

i appreciate any attempt to help but please, at least read my post - i specifically said that i did not find any file types related to sims because i already tried assinging the launcher as default app manually

@FlyingSnerzFM You won't "find" any .Sims3Packs files. When you click download the server attempts to download the .Sim3Pack file. The operating system sees the .Sims3Pack file and opens the launcher and downloads the file to the download tab of the launcher. Some user have changed the default app to use and this usually causes the download to fail. If you are sure you have set the default app set correctly then your firewall may not be allowing the download or the server is down. That's the way it's supposed to work

hmm... the only thing i got before was 4 other DLCs which i got via origin and activatet in the launcher and i got a custom world through the exchange. i did 100% not change anything for default settings before - firewall shouldnt be the cause either, i really have no clue what to do about this; prior to windows 10 you could manually select the app to use to open a certain file...
