Have you tired using your OS's search box?
Ugh. Ctrl+Click the application, choose Explore. That should help you out.

I didn't post before trying all these options.

Ugh, why are we still helping this Mactard?

Also, you haven't actually helped. None of you have a solution that works, and only one suggestion has been something I haven't already tried before posting.

Putting the .world file in \GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds does work, and is needed, if you have a Custom world installed and for some reason it isn't showing in your available worlds list in game. This also works with EA World files, but the strings are all fucked up in game so all the lots and people have long ass names. The thing is, you have to take the world file from the InstalledWorlds folder, which apparently you do not have, and if you do not have it, then your world probably didn't install at all. Delete the contents of DCbackup. Remove the files in DCCache.Try to install the world. Do files show up in those folders?

Thanks for the reply.
I do have the InstalledWorlds folder (and the world does appear in here), it's the GameData folder I don't have. Other items from the package installed and appear in game, it's only the world/town itself that isn't showing up. I've already tried deleting the stuff in DCBackup and DCCache and reinstalling it, no luck.

I don't know what your problem is (most likely PEBCAK), but I'll give you a hint as to where those folders are. They're in the application. At least, last I checked that's what MACs do.

You're right, they are supposed to be there. But they aren't there. Hence why I'm asking/confused.

CaeraBlue, KT is right about Macs hiding the directory from you. I'll leave you to search for where it hides its application data folders.

I went and used Terminal to make all my files/folders visible... and I still don't have the \GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds folders anywhere. Does anyone know why this might be?

Installed worlds, regardless of whether they are from the store or not, go into the ...\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\InstalledWorlds folder, like Michele said. They are not placed in the game data files, but rather the documents folders, like the rest of things installed via the launcher.

Or am I not supposed to be trying to put them in there at all anyway?

Macs are fucking retarded when it comes to gaming.

I know. Bought one anyway. Can't complain about my own choices.

And a warm hello to you,

Thanks for that tip! You're right, is a wonderful tool, I used it to find the solution I posted about.
The only reason I started a new post was because when I clicked reply I was presented with a warning saying that that thread hasn't been used in over 30 days and that I should consider starting a new post (advise I clearly chose to take).
My question here is not about my overall problem, but in regards to that particular solution I found and why it doesn't seem to apply to my computer.
Did you have any useful information about my problem?

Hey,

I've bought Sunlit Tides Gold and it's installed successfully (it says), but it's not showing up in game (along with a few other store items). I've been contacting EA (they're no use) and a bunch of other forums, but so far no one can find a solution that works for me. In here I found a post saying to try grabbing the .world file from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\InstalledWorlds and drop it in \GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds. Only problem is I don't have the \GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds folders anywhere.

Thanks for any help.
P.S. I'm on a Mac.
