@wastedlizzy The Arezzo Bathroom Counter is a plague on Sims 3. What likely happened is it was attached to another item you installed. The only solutions are to try to get rid of it, or to reinstall your store content from scratch, leaving out whatever download the counter came with. Here's how to find and remove bad custom content, although it's not foolproof:

To reiterate, it's often not enough to simply uninstall through the launcher. The item can still be attached to an installed sim, household, build, or world; or in a file in DCBackup. You can delete everything in DCBackup except for ccmerged.package if you want; the other files are duplicates of installed Sims3Pack content.

EDIT: When looking at the cc in the launcher i found two cc that i don't have in my downloads but i got a new clean folder but it still shows up in the installed cc but not in the downloads section.

I removed what i had from the store and it work to remove that bug but i think i should have a little bit of cc in my download at once so it could work

@wastedlizzy As long as you don't reinstall whatever item came with the Arezzo counter, you should be fine. It's still a good idea to check the launcher's installed content list to make sure you don't get any other items you don't want though.

@wastedlizzy Sometimes the in-game login stops cooperating temporarily, so please try it again. (I tried just now and it worked for me.) If you still can't login, clear your browser caches for Safari and whatever your default browser is, if it's not Safari.

If that doesn't help either, please change your password to something with only letters and numbers, no special characters, accents, etc., at least temporarily. Then clear your browser caches again and see whether you can login.
