Ah, my apologies! I'm sorry for the confusion! I registered all of my packs like you mentioned. Thank you! Now all I got to do is figure out how to log into the sims 3 launcher since it doesn't let me do so. All my uploads are completely wiped out. I'll look around for some already solved problems with this and see if I can figure this out. Thanks again!
@Skittlessimheart If you're not having any luck signing into the launcher, try clearing the cache for Internet Explorer. Even if you never use it, the launcher does for some purposes. Be sure to uncheck the box to preserve data for favorite sites.

@puzzlezaddictI cleared the cache as you mentioned, it didn't log me in at first so I tried again after like 30 minutes. Thankfully, it logged me in. All my saved families have been deleted. Does this mean I'll have to restart or can I somehow get my old one back? Also, thank you so much again!!

@Skittlessimheart Your saves are stored separately from the game's installed files and may or may not have been removed when you uninstalled. Please look in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves for any folders with your save names. If you don't find any, check OneDrive's Documents folder for any Sims 3-related content.
If nothing turns up there either, try searching your computer. Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and enter *.nhd (with the asterisk) in the search bar in the upper right corner. If there are any usable saves, they'll each have at least one .nhd file inside. If the search turns up any saves, click on one, click the "Open file location" icon, and you'll land wherever your files are. From there, drag the entire Saves folder to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3, or the individual save folders to the Saves folder that already exists.
If none of this helps, then your saves may unfortunately be gone for good.
- 5 years ago@puzzlezaddict Ohhh okay, I didn't see any saves in my one drive or the sims 3 folders, unfortunately. So yesterday I just decided to restart. Sadly, today I tried logging in again and I can't get in at all. It logged me out. I tried clearing the cache on internet explorer and it still just won't let me in at all.
