After my sim got a want to travel, I sent her to Egypt. When I attempted to make her buy falafel, the option did not show up. The only foods available were a few standard base game foods, such as autumn salad. I'm playing without hacks and started a new town. I've never come across this problem before, so I'm assuming it is a bug that was introduced in either the patch or Ambitions.

jeromycraig, could you explain to me what you did to make it work?

So far, I've had no luck in getting my arr'ed store content to show up without the .dbc files in the Mods folder. This is what I've tried so far:

First, I deleted the cache files and made a backup of the 'The Sims 3' folder in My Documents\Electronic Arts. I then removed the dbc folder from Mods. After each failed attempt I've restored the original 'The Sims 3' folder from the backup that I made. I've tried the following methods of decrapifying:

• Ran s3rc.exe for all sims3pack, package, nhd, world, sim, and dbc files in the 'The Sims 3' folder and below. I did this using a batch file like the one described in this message: Re: TOOL: TS3 Recompressor.
• Used JFade's updated Compressorizer in Decrapify mode with all file types checked (recursively from 'The Sims 3' folder).
• Deleted the DCCache and DCBackup folders and used JFade's updated Compressorizer like above. After it was finished, I tried to reinstall the store content, which failed.

The result of all of this is that, even after decrapifying all file types (including saves), the store content is not showing up in Build/Buy mode and any store items already used in game have been replaced with defaults. Furthermore, the launcher will not install any decrapified content. In addition to the base game, I have WA and HELS installed. All three are fully patched.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Are there certain files that should be deleted first? Am I decrapifying some files that should not be decrapified?

Any help would be appreciated.
