The sims 3 launcher keeps resetting my downloads from the exchange.

Hi,

I have only got the Nraas mods installed, which are screenshots in the description, and I have run as administrator twice, then it resets when I open it. All my worlds are gone and not loaded. I wish this game wasn't so old like me xD...

I have tried deleting my EA app cache file and running it as an administrator. I feel its the launcher but then i get an error when a load a game which i think its because it isn't downloaded.

Please tell me what I need to do. 

Kind regards

Hannah
