1- Issue(s) you are having/noticing since installing the Demo
Entire DLC library has uninstalled itself. Backed-up my saved games prior to discovering this.
2- Windows or MAC & which Operating System
Windows XP SP3
3- Do you have any new Game Folders in your Game File? Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3
Specifically these two: Collections and SavedOutfits or any others?
I apparently have both of those new folders now...
4- Do you have MODS?
Nope.
5- What language is your Sims 3 game?
English US
6- What language is your CAP Demo?
English US (or at least I think it is)
7- Are your games Digital or Physical Discs?
All games are physical copies.
Does anyone recommend those with just the DLC problem do another factory restart and slow reinstall of all DLC? I really don't want to spend tomorrow doing that, but if I have to, then so be it.

I found a solution for the problem. Hope you have a backup of your gamedata!
So at first I wasn't able to start my Sims game after I have installed that demo. After uninstalling it my game still crashed.
Then I restored the DCCache folder from a backup and everything is back to normal! :D
So that ******* demo irreversibly malforms the installed cc databse!
