Deleted downloadedsims.inex

I've been having the black screen problem, thankfully deleting downloadedsims.index fixed it. But now none of the content I downloaded through the launcher is showing up! I really want them back. They won't install into my game. When I add downloadedsims.index back into my game, the black screen returned. I really want to play normally with my CC.

  • Just sims or all content ? Did you just delete that one file ? It should actually recreate.

    Do you no longer have the files in downloads so you could just reinstall everything ?

    Then try moving the DCCache folder to the desktop as well as savedSims and the library and try reinstalling again.

    Just the files you downloaded that don't show any longer.
