I used one of your other tutorials on how to fix this error at it worked!!!! Am I safe to install the other DLC’s?
thank you so much
do you have a paypal- wouldn’t mind sending you a fiver haha for all your help
@jossmurphy2 I take it you found the paul.dll workaround? I'm so glad to hear the game is running now. (By the way, World Adventures and High-End Loft Stuff are also affected by this error, but not the later packs.)
Yes, it's safe to install your packs now. However, four of them (Ambitions, Late Night, Fast Lane, and Outdoor Living) require additional steps to work. Luckily, these are simpler than what you've already done, and pretty reliable. The first step is to create an alias for each of those packs that doesn't already have on in Applications\The Sims 3.

The second is to copy a folder from each affected pack in to the folder for your newest pack by release date. So if you own Into the Future, that's where the folders need to go. (Each other pack needs to have a folder there, but one will be created for any other pack you own besides the four affected ones.) This video shows how to move the folders:
If you're not sure what goes where, just list the packs you'd like to install, and I can describe what to do with more specificity.
And I'm just glad to help, and hoping that you do get to enjoy this game after all the work you've put in.
