Re: Downloads won't show up in game sims 3
@tirza1996 Please try installing the lots in a clean user folder. Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just download and install one of the lots and see whether it shows up in-game.
If it works, try installing the other lots one at a time: the launcher doesn't handle large amounts of data well, and that includes installing content in large groups.
For any lot that doesn't install, feel free to either post a link here (if it's from the Sims 3 Store or Exchange) or send me a link via private message. I'll test in my own game, and if the content doesn't work for me either, the lot or lots may be broken.
