Hello. I tried to search the forums for a solution for this but I can't find one, so I decided to make a new topic.
I just recently installed The Sims 3:High-End Loft stuff. Everything installed perfectly, but then my save file is gone. My save file worked in World Adventures. Is this somehow connected to the save error of WA and then you had to rename it for it to work?
Thank You So Much For Your Help.

Was your save file in Riverview? Is Riverview no longer appearing in the list of installed worlds to New Game? If this is the case, your game may have become Crapified. Decrapify your saved games, delete all CC you installed by package-ripping, and decrapify and reinstall from the Sims3Packs.

Yes, my save file was in Riverview. In the InstalledWorlds folder, "Riverview.world" is still there.
Do i still need to "decrapify" my games even though riverview.world is there? What's a CC? Sorry if I don't understand the acrnoyms.

Yes. Delete InstalledWorlds, DCCache, DCBackup, decrapify, reinstall everything. |

reinstall everything.
This is just me being curious, what if the OP has pack files he didn't pay for? How do you reinstall those? Because from what I know you still can't install them. Did I miss something? Miss TashaFaun, what is decrapify? I don't understand the procedure. |

You should take a look at this thread. I know you're gonna be mad at me for this, but I downloaded the program. What's next? Should I just click the program and it does the all work for me or what?  I'm sorry if I'm such a noob |

i deleted InstalledWorlds, DCCache, DCBackup, drag and dropped all the files to decrapify.exe, and reinstalled everything. It didn't work. My saved family still isn't showing.

What do you mean by PROPERLY? Where do i install s3rc? I thought i was just going to drag and drop on decrapify.exe. Would you mind writing a step-by-step tutorial?

Hi! I also have the same problem, upon upgrading to HELS, my save file no longer appears to be playable. I have Riverview installed also, so should I remove all the "things" that I downloaded from here? http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5207939/THE_SIMS_3_--_ALL_170___EA_STORE_ITEMS_(AS_OF_12.10.09). Do I just manually delete all of them in the Documents folder? Thank you very much for helping. Also, my loading screen seems to be pretty messed up. Do you guys seem to know what's going on with that? Is it because I just downloaded TS3:HELS from the internet? |

If they aren't showing up and Riverview isn't on the new game list, take Riverview.world file from My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\InstalledWorlds and move it to Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds
About your loading screen being screwed, something is wrong with your HELS install, reinstall that.

Whoa! It worked! Thanks for that, but now it doesn't properly display the names in the neighborhood, for example "World/Riverview Lothario".
