Re: Sims 3 Roaring Heights Won't Install
@puzzlezaddict So now it shows up as a world in the launcher if I want to uninstall it, but still doesn't show up as an option if I start a new game.

@TaxidermyDogLamp Can you start a new save somewhere else and try to place the classic car that comes with RH? I'm curious as to whether it's there at all, and whether it has the expected interactions attached to it.
It would also be interesting to see whether RH showed up as an option if you told a sim to move there via phone. (Real Estate & Travel > Move > To new town)
I need to go to bed soon, but tomorrow I can ask around if anyone knows what the issue might be.
@puzzlezaddictIt looks like the stuff all downloaded, so I'll double check on that and let you know. Thank you SO much for your time and patience.
Edit: All of the RH stuff shows as installed content but I can’t see any of it in game. Super weird.
This morning I completely wiped my sims downloads folder in case there was some issue with my cc and store content. The good news is, after doing that and deleting the cc world I had installed, I managed to get the RH installed and the world shows up as a .world in my installed worlds file. Unfortunately, it still doesn't show up in game.
@TaxidermyDogLamp What do you mean, you wiped your downloads folder and uninstalled a cc world? If you move your Sims 3 folder to your desktop and open the launcher, the new folder should have no downloads, no cc, no content at all. The question is whether installing RH into that new folder, with nothing else in place at all, can be made to work.
- @puzzlezaddict Other sources were saying that third party cc could be causing issues so I just deleted all of it from my original files figuring if I needed any of it I could go back and find it. I physically went in and dragged all of my cc sims3packs to the trash, and I moved the cc world file I had to the trash.
Today, I've also tried a few other suggestions from various corners of the internet and nothing is working. The new problem is that I've been able to install RH and all its stuff, everything shows up on the launcher as installed, the RH .world file shows up, but absolutely nothing comes up in game for it. No CAS items, no buy mode items, no RH world. @TaxidermyDogLamp Okay, but that's different than moving the entire Sims 3 folder to your desktop. Please do that, open the launcher to create a new folder, and try to install RH. There are too many other random files that might be a problem to sort through; this is the only truly reliable way to test.
- @puzzlezaddict It didn't show up with a clean Sims 3 folder, either.
@TaxidermyDogLamp Okay, you can try downloading it with Firefox (into another clean folder), if you haven't already. And you can try installing it with the store content patches in place.
Otherwise, I'll ask the couple of other Mac users I know if they own RH, and whether it currently works.
- @puzzlezaddict Unfortunately, it's still not working ☹️
I'm going to get in contact with EA's tech support and see if this is a known problem and if I can possibly get a refund or something.
Thank you so much for all your help! SOLVED: I installed a bunch of .package mods that were working just fine in my game, but then I added some of my old sims3pack cc that worked before I got rid of it and noticed it wasn't showing up in game. After seeing that, I realized this issue was that sims3packs weren't showing up in game even though they were installed. So, literally all I did to fix this issue was to check the "run without cc" box and then uncheck it and then run the game. Super easy fix, no idea why it didn't work before.
@TaxidermyDogLamp That is a very strange solution, but I'm glad to hear Roaring Heights is working now. I'll remember it if I see a similar issue. Thanks so much for coming back to update.
- @TaxidermyDogLamp Hey! I'm having a really similar problem. Could you please explain to me what exactly ""the run without cc" box" means?
@moooonlighty I don’t remember exactly where it’s located, but somewhere in the launcher menu (before you actually start the game) there should be a little box you can check that says “run without cc.” If I remember correctly, it’s under like the downloads tab or something similar.
- @TaxidermyDogLamp did you have to open the game after checking the box, then close it and unchek it or did you just click on the box two times and then you just started tge game and the world was available there?
This same thing happened to me, its all showing up as CC. Were you able to resolve the issue?
@kkmoney2000 Please create a new thread describing your issue in more detail, including a screenshot or two if relevant.
Since this thread is a few years old now, I'll lock it here.
