What else can I offer to help you help me? I only have three items in DCCache: dcc.ent, dcdb0.dbc, and dcdb0.ebc. The last two are new since I deleted the one you suggested before. And now I've lost all the work my daughter did before she moved out of state with her boyfriend, so I'm trying to follow those previous directions from EA to get that set back up. Doesn't EA care that Sims3 has so many issues? I know many people still play it. My daughter set up Sims4 for me, but I find the characters a bit cartoonish. Plus, none of my favorite creators have done anything for Sims4, so the pieces I love from Sims Resource can't be duplicated into Sims4, apparently. I spent thousands over the years on this game, so I'm really sad that something I love doesn't want to work anymore. And I'm not technical enough to fix it myself. What else can I provide to you?
