I'm Missing Sims 3 Content
I've been playing The Sims 3 (TS3) for over a year now, and have been enjoying it. About a couple months ago, I opened my game and saw a message (image attached). After seeing the message, I went to ...
@CariY2206 That location is fine, and wherever you install Sims 3, your packs should be in the same folder. I'm not sure what's going on here, and I'll flag this thread to someone from EA to take another look in case it might require a conversation with support. There are some issues that can't be solved on the user side, and they're not always easy to identify.
However, it'll take a couple days to get a response since people are off work for the weekend. In the interim, I would suggest another clean install, except with three extra steps:
The idea here is to be as thorough as possible. Even if these above steps aren't all necessary, doing them together means you've addressed everything on your end.
If you happen to have access to another computer running Windows where you could test-install Sims 3, I'd suggest that too, in addition to or instead of the above. If your packs show up properly on that computer, the problem is something on your current system. If not, it's likely an account issue. The other computer doesn't need to be powerful enough to run Sims 3—just open the launcher to see whether your packs are present, and you'll have your answer.
Thank you so much for flagging this thread! I'll try this option as soon as possible! I hope you have a great holiday season!
