I stopped onedrive from syncing the documents folder but the file path still says it's the one drive folder. Not the path you said in the last reply. Not sure why. Oh never mind it's exactly that path. Had to double check. I guess that's sorted then. But what if this doesn't fix the installation problem.
RexyStorms Try it and see. If installing Barnacle Bay and then Sunlit Tides gives the same error, try installing ST first in a(nother) clean folder. And in any case, make sure the world you're installing has finished downloading first. You can tell when the thumbnail in the launcher changes from a box to an image of the world in Map view.

I got the worlds installed finally but they don't show up in game. Neither do the worlds that came with expansions. And I can't load any save because the game says they've been made with expansion data that is no longer available but I still have all the packs installed.
RexyStorms The worlds that come with expansions aren't loading? Is the other content from these packs loading? If not, uncheck and re-check all the EPs and SPs in the launcher's Expansions & Stuff Packs tab. Even if they're checked, the game may not be recognizing your selection.
If the other content from the packs is loading, it sounds like you've broken your install. I guess it's possible a mod could do this, but I haven't heard of one that has this effect. Other than a mod, this wouldn't have anything to do with your Store installed content or your other user data; these worlds would be in the game's program files. Have you changed anything there? If so, repair the game (EA App > Sims 3 > Manage > Repair) and see whether the worlds show up again.

All the packs are checked in the launcher. Haven't touched them. Haven't touched any files outside the clean folder I made. I've made no changes beside installing 4 store worlds. And I can't check if the content is loading. At least not on any of my saves I made prior to installing these worlds as I said. It doesn't recognize the expansion packs. And again I've only touched the 4 worlds and nothing else.

Oh never mind. They had unchecked without me touching them. I enabled them now.

Okay now everything works except I can only see 1 out of 4 store worlds in the selection when starting a new game. And I'm not sure if I have all the other ones either because I don't remember them on the top of my head so I gotta double check later.
RexyStorms At least the issue with the EPs is fixed. What I meant by testing was that you could start a new save and see what content was present, for example it would be obvious whether Seasons was loading.
Regardless, I would like to know which Store worlds you're trying to install, and in what order, AND whether the problem is that in another clean folder, only the first one installs, or only a certain world installs. For example, does Sunlit Tides install if it's first. And again, please make sure the thumbnail has changed in the launcher's Downloads tab before you try to install it.

I installed all the worlds successfully as I mentioned but they don't show up in game as options when starting a new game. Well one of them did the last time I checked. But the other 3 didn't.
RexyStorms Again, please let me know whether the order in which you install the Store worlds matters here. As in, does only the first world you install show up? Or does only, say, Barnacle Bay show up and the others do not, regardless of whether you install BB first or later.
Please test this in multiple separate clean user folders. You don't need to move your other content to the new folders, and in fact it's best not to for now.
Please also name the Store worlds so it's easier for me to refer to them.
