Sims 3 store content dissapears

Hello
i have some issues with downloading content from the sims 3 store. when i reinstall my game (i did it 3 times this year cause of other issues so not normally something i would ever do.) i am able to download all of my content from the sims 3 store such as monte vista, riverview, some hair and the cows and chickens. plus some additional things as violin, tablet and baby equipment. i can then play with these items for a few days before it suddenly out of the blue just dissapears from my game. i will then try to re download it as normal but i am then unable to. have any of you tried this ? thank you. 
I am playing on a PC from Acer, Nitro.

  • claradensmukke  Once the content has disappeared, trying to reinstall it won't help, or will only help temporarily.  Since you've already tried that, you'll need to reinstall everything into a clean user folder, a few items at a time, then transfer over your saves and other content.  More detailed instructions are here:

    I would strongly recommend keeping an extra copy of the Sims 3 folder with the Store content installed, as this may happen again, and it's a lot easier to restore your spare copy rather than reinstalling everything each time this happens.  But if and when this does happen again, before doing anything else, try deleting the SigsCache folder, which helps some of the time.
