Cc won’t show up in sims 3 launcher> download

Hello @puzzlezaddict I have gotten my sims 3 issue resolved and was able to start playing but now I am having more issues. I used your last forum to help me out but I am still having an issue with my cc not showing up in downloads. I have a couple of cc up but all the cc I downloaded after that won’t show up. I set up my mods folder with the  3 other items you need in there, I extracted my RAR files, and I sorted them out through .packages and SIMS3PACK. Please reach to me as soon as you can you are a lifesaver and I appreciate all the assistance you have given the community.

    @MarajQueen  Please make sure that you've sorted the files correctly: the Sims3Packs all go in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Downloads, and the .packages files go into ... The Sims 3 > Mods > Packages.  Only the Sims3Packs will show in the launcher's Downloads tab; the .package files will load in-game but won't show in the launcher.  Make sure to delete the cache files, also in the Sims 3 folder, after adding or removing any content as well:

    • CASPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package
    • socialCache.package

    Finally, make sure you're adding the content to the local Documents folder, as in, the one that's stored on your computer.  The easy way to tell is to right-click on a folder that has some of your custom content in it and select Get Info.  Under Where, you'll see the file path.  If iCloud is in that path, the files are in cloud storage, not on your computer, and that's why the game isn't reading them.
