Store content not showing up in game

[Mr Crinkles]

   Items I have bought from the Sims 3 Store are not showing up in my game. This is with a completely empty "Mods" folder. They are showing in the launcher as being installed, but do not appear in game. Does anyone know why this is/how to fix? Thank you.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to yell at you to SEARCH, so let me quickly put in a plug for search's under-appreciated cousin, BROWSE. See that thread that's several threads down from this one? The one that says something about getting custom content to work post-1.12/Ambitions? What? You didn't see it? That's tragic, because it's still on the first page of this forum, it's not as if you had to go spelunking through the archives or anything.

BROWSE MOAR.

   I have not had any problems with custom content, only with things purchased from the Sims 3 store.

If this is all content you purchased from the store, then uninstall it all in the launcher, redownload it from the store and reinstall it. If that doesn't work, then you need to take it up with EA, not MATY. If, for some mysterious reason, you cannot complete all of these steps, then perhaps your store items are exactly the kind of custom content they are already talking about in the thread I previously pointed you towards and to which you were too stupid to shut up and go.

*** Well, but I was actually hoping to get a useful answer, which is why I asked here and not at EA. Figured people here would know better what to do, and would actually tell me (and btw, I tried uninstalling and redownloading before I made my original post).

*** Actually, I'd already looked at that thread before I made my post, which is why I'm not having trouble with any of my custom content. But I can't see anything in that thread which deals with Sims 3 Store content, only custom content.

Despite what you might have heard, no one at MATY has AMAZING PSYCHIC POWERS!!!!11!.  We can't mindscan your computer and tell you what you're doing wrong, which is basically what you're asking us to do with the lack of information you've provided.

Mr Crinkles,try doing a search other than here on MATY.  Try searching on http://www.bing.com/search?q=Sims+3+Store+content+not+showing+up+in+the+game&go=&form=QBLH&filt=all&qs=n&sk=

*** Actually, someone was able to direct me to the information I needed. It's not that I think anyone here is magical or anything (well, maybe Witch), but that I figure someone here will be able to come up with a solution. Which they did. So thank you.

How many fucking times do people need to tell you if you bought the shit from EA and paid them for it but it's not working you need to take it up with them?

If you want to give up installing it the correct way as a legitimate purchase, waste your money, consider it a donation to EA and just start all over and pirate the files that is your business. If that is the case then get off your ass, do a fucking search and don't expect anyone to spoon feed you.

For starters, you're in the wrong section of the board.
