Re: Sims 3 store content will not install
It all started when I would go into CAS to edit my sim. Only a few minutes in, my game would freeze and I had to manually power off my computer (iMac desktop. The blue mouse would go to the black normal one, and I had to press and hold the button at the back to shut down the computer)
So I decided to run my game without CC (By clicking the little box in the launcher screen) I ran my game, entered CAS and my game ran fine. No freezes.
Then I decided to run my game WITH CC. I un-clicked the little box, thinking all was well. But it wasn't.
I ran my game, entered CAS, and no CC or store content was there. Not even in buy/build mode.
Then I came here. I followed all the instructions/advice. (Deleting files, re-installing etc.) I deleted everything, went to TheSims3.com and re-downloaded everything. I've tried everything here and that I can think of. The only thing I will NOT do, is re-install all of my games, as I have 9. I have also tried playing as another family to see if it was just my family or the town. Same problem. No CC or store content.
If ANYONE has suggestions, I will listen and follow any of them (to an extent)
I have bought about $90 of store content, and I will be VERY upset if I cannot play my game without it.
Thank you
FANTASTIC NEWS!!!
I just launched my game and moused over the box in the launcher that says "run game without custom content"
I read what the warning message said, and it said that all objects will be PERMANENTLY replaced with basic objects.
So, I searched up "Sims 3 how to run game with custom content after clicking the box"
And I read some forums, and after un-installing and re-installing over 5 times, turns out all I had to do was click the box, click "cancel" on the warning message and un-click the box.
Launched my game, everything was there!
A Christmas miracle!
Thank you so much for all of your time and effort to help a ridiculous problem with such a simple yet ridiculous answer.
Merry Christmas! :D
