CC lots not showing in game

Hi,

I recently downloaded some custom lots which are not showing up in my game. They are sim3pack files so I placed them in my downloads folder - they download on the installer as normal but do not show up in my library in the game. I've tried putting them in individually and have deleted my cache files but it doesn't seem to help my issue. Any help would be much appreciated!

  • @coc0nutdevil  It's possible the lots are corrupt or otherwise won't install properly, in which case there isn't really anything you can do.  A quick test is to try installing them in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, open the launcher to spawn a clean folder, move the Sims3Packs to the Downloads folder inside the new Sims 3 folder, install the lots through the launcher, and see whether they show up in-game.

    If you'd like, I can check the lots in my own game as well.  Feel free to PM me the download links, and I'll see whether I can get them to work on my end.
