@diopter77 Again, I don't get the [email].bin file until I sign in at the Main Menu, and if I delete that file, it doesn't appear until I sign in again.
For the rest, please let me know what the problems are that you're trying to resolve. I don't think missing files in Downloads are relevant here, although it is of course possible; but I'd rather not spend time trying to figure out those files if the missing content can be reinstalled.
Hey move on to someone else... I will figure it out. kind of got that when the word moot was used, not practical importance; irrelevant.
You' all have a very wonderful day.
@diopter77 I'm not sure you understood what I was trying to say. As far as I can tell from this thread, and it's possible I may have missed something in your longer posts, you have one major symptom: content stored in the DCCache folder isn't loading in-game. (This covers patterns, Store content, etc., but not for example households, which are stored in Library.) You were also wondering whether the presence and absence of certain files in Downloads was related and/or pointed to a possible cause.
My response was that there was something weird about the generation of wl.bin, which I described, but that that was moot because it had no affect on my installed content. I also said that the same Downloads files don't always disappear for me but that this doesn't affect my installed content either. So while the question of which Downloads files appear when might be a curiosity, I suspect that it is entirely independent of your main problem, as I read it. So in my opinion, pursuing the angle of the Downloads files is a waste of time with respect to solving your issue.
If you want to poke at it further, fine. If you want my help in addressing the missing Store content, I'm here. But I thought the goal was to solve the issue, and I don't think pursuing the Downloads files question furthers that goal.
