    @bev6usa  Please install these worlds into a clean user folder.  Move the Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, open the launcher to create a new Sims 3 folder, download each world again, and install it.  Please install them one at a time.  Open the game and see whether you can start a new save in each world.

    If this works, move the Saves folder from the old Sims 3 folder to the new one and try to load your old save.  You may get a warning about missing content, but that's fine—just make sure to quit without saving.  The important question is whether the save loads at all.

    Isla Paradiso is one of the worlds that is supposed to be already in the drop down menu but its still not showing up. The other worlds are showing up though including Monty Vista.

    Thank You for your help

      @bev6usa  Right, I was thinking of Sunlit Tides, sorry.  Does the other content from the Island Paradise pack show up in your game?  If not, does the pack show in the launcher's Expansions & Stuff tab?  You might need to check the box again, or uncheck and re-check it.

      If the pack isn't in the launcher at all, let me know whether the EA App thinks it's installed.  You can check in your game library, under Sims 3 > Manage > Manage add-ons.
