Re: CC lots not showing in game
@coc0nutdevil It's possible the lots are corrupt or otherwise won't install properly, in which case there isn't really anything you can do. A quick test is to try installing them in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, open the launcher to spawn a clean folder, move the Sims3Packs to the Downloads folder inside the new Sims 3 folder, install the lots through the launcher, and see whether they show up in-game.
If you'd like, I can check the lots in my own game as well. Feel free to PM me the download links, and I'll see whether I can get them to work on my end.
