Why are my cc worlds empty?
Hello, I have a problem going on with my Sims 3 game. All my cc worlds (I have Alpine County, Storybrook County and Falls Cove) are only populated with a few NCPs and no other sims. I tried to dele...

I had a family in Alpine County and there was everything normal. Then I started a new game that was also in Alpine County and there were no sims. I also wanted to go back to my other family but I couldn't because the 'normal' Alpine County was not there anymore (I only could choose something called 'Alpine County {1}'. Then I closed my game and entered it again and my two familys were gone. I just don't have other sims then NPCs in my worlds and I also checked the other ones, same problem.
I have the Nraas Mods like Mastercontroller, Error Tap, Woohooer, Storyprogression and some more but I never had any problems with them and I have them since a year or something.
I don't know what I did, I did everything as usual and I didn't download anything before it happened.
@ZockerTutti The presence of "Alpine County ⚽" suggests that you've installed the world at least twice. So it's a good idea to uninstall all instances of it you can find from the launcher. Once you've done that, open the InstalledWorlds folder in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 and make sure there aren't any Alpine Country files there either. Remove everything from the Downloads folder in the Sims 3 folder as well. You don't have to delete the items; just get them out of the way. Once their content is installed, these .Sims3Pack files become redundant.
Be sure to delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 folder as well. These files should be deleted regularly anyway, and every time you quit the game while troubleshooting. For reference, these files are:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
Download a new copy of Alpine County (the populated version), install it, and see whether a new save has all sims present. If it does, quit to desktop, delete the five cache files again, reload, and see whether you can open your existing save.
