It's not working. I've uninstalled the whole thing, reinstalled it, the game it self works but the CC won't be downloaded from the file I put all of the CC in. They say to check if my game has the latest update. Doesn't make sense. Ideas? (btw it's working if I go to the Store, the cc can be downloaded properly, althought I'm unsure if it will get uninstalled when I shut my computer off tonight... I'll have to try. Please help, I'm so tired... my computer is brand new (windows 11).
@emeulydamnit Is the problem currently Store content (made by EA), Exchange content (made by third parties), or both? When you uninstalled everything, did that include deleting or removing the Sims 3 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts? If not, please do that now. Don't delete it if you have saves or other user data you'd like to preserve; removing it will be sufficient.
Open the launcher to spawn a clean folder, download one item you'd like to use from the Store or Exchange, and try to install it. If it doesn't show in-game, please let me know what it is, including a link if it's from the Exchange. Some older user-made content isn't compatible with the current version of Sims 3, and I can more or less confirm that by trying to install it on my own computers.
