Hi Nat

I'm sorry to say that this seems to be an increasingly common problem, particularly with worlds. I'm not sure why. You may already have tried this but if not then see this excerpt from BluebellFlora's blog:

Downloaded content not showing up:

If your Store downloads aren’t showing up in game try deleting the missingdeps.idx file (thanks to Crinrict), the game will regenerate a new one:

Finder > Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sim 3 > DCCache > missingdeps.idx

This isn’t a sure fire fix as Origin seems to be causing a lot of issues with the Launcher but it’s worth a try. For more info read Crinrict’s blog post here.

    Thanks for suggesting that.

    I deleted the folder a while ago, but I just deleted some extra missingdeps.idx items I found still on my computer. It hasn't worked. DV still isn't showing up in 'new game' ☹️

      Did you try just hit install a few times ? It will tell you it's already installed but this seems to work for some with this issue.

      Also do you have a file for the world in your installedWorlds folder ?

        I've tried installing it countless times. It still doesn't seem to be loading.
        I have a file "Dragon Valley.world", in the Installed Worlds folder but it shows up as unreadable without an icon. 
        Thank you for continuing to try and help me.
