Can you un-do the cleaning?
Sorry I wasn't clear enough....you should be cleaning out your DCBackup folder BUT IN THIS CASE, it's a good thing you don't; those downloads could be helpful.
If you can make a folder on your desktop and put all the files that were in the DCBackup into that new folder.
ok done
Sorry but I have go deal with some RL stuff for a while. I'm not sure what I can do to explain how to fix this problem other than deleting your CC altogether which I know you don't want to do. Since none of things I suggested/ had you try are permanent you're basically in the same spot you started. Maybe try following this Mac troubleshooting guide: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/658546.page. You might find it's not the CC afterall but another file in your game folder.
So sorry...but maybe someone else has a suggestion about how to fix this. Good Luck.
