Why have my downloads disappeared in sims 3 Island Paradise?
Gotcha. Thanks so much for trying to help. But, the downloads are not from the Sims3.com site either. I guess we can close this issue out since it is but it isn't an EA issue.

As I stated before, to help keep my game running a little better and loading faster I remove the downloads from the folder inside the S3 game folder and place them in a folder on my desktop. Something told me to try this... and to my amazement it seems to have worked!😕mileyvery-happy: I went back to the downloads folder on my DESKTOP to copy the following folders and downloads back to my actual S3 game folder. They are the folders with the long numbers that are apparently created by the game itself but not recreated each time you load/play the game. The two folders have the ChallengData.package in the first folder and another Challenge.Data.package as well as a PassportData.package in the second folder. I also added back the SIX Dynamic Challenge downloads, I believed are also initially created by the game back to the actual S3 game folder. It still took a while for the launcher to load. But when I went into my game it seems that many if not all of my downloads from other websites are back in the Buy Mode area of the game! Yay!!😕mileylol:
Great to hear. Does that mean this is sovled for you ? If so, could you please accept a solution so people know that this is solved and what the solution was.
Thank you
Well, not quite.:womanfrustrated: All of my stuff was not reloaded and when I tried to redownload the missing items into my installer I got the "Error during startup see log for more details" So, I removed the DCBackup and DCCache folders from the game and tried to add back all of my downloads. Now I am getting the "A problem caused the program to stop working... Debug... Then the Launcher closes. Of course it still takes at least 5 minutes for the launcher to even load at all since I downloaded this wonderful new game, Island Paradise!!:womanmad:
So, I just tried to open the launcher and this morning I am getting "There was an error during startup see log for more details." The issues keep changing back and forth. I am beyond confused!:womansad:
