Re: sims 3 store hair wont download. please help!!

Ok. I don't know if I can help you, but I also downloaded a bunch of hair from the store and for some reason it wasn't showing up in the game, even though the launcher had downladed it. That is the key word, "download". It is not actually installed until you install it. When you launch your game open up the dahboard and you should have a menu item that says "Download Dashboard Installer" , or something like that and select it. There you should find everything that you downloaded that did not install in the game. It will say either it was installed or install now and just click on install now. I was actually looking for missing content when I came across it and I had to install 157 items that I did not realized wasn't in the game. As for the sim, I use my own, so I can't help you with that and if the other doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you and hopefully someone else can help you, but I hope it helps 😕mileyhappy:

    thanks for replying, but the problem occurs before that. the message shows up before the hair can even be added to the launcher. ☹️
