Since the latest patch CC will not stay installed...

[basketcse40218]

Please I beg don't refer me to older pages pre-Nov2012 . I have done all that, re-installed, updated all of my mods, Resource.cfg. I do not have pets. I have all up to -Generations.
The crazy thing is that the Ea store content, sims and lots will install. I install my other cc in sim3pkgs and it shows installed, I start the game and they are gone. Like uninstalled. I have had NO up to date info on this yet I see hundreds of people having the issue. Was it on purpose with EA to get us to buy their crappy store stuff and over priced worlds that should be included in the games? I know pets is screwed up because they had to change script.
I have been told update flash, use old pre-patch installer, for some reason I cannot even convert all my packs using the multi-installer. They won't show up. I am aggravated and desperate. Been at it for 3 weeks. Would appreciate any help from you smart peeps at MTS.

Let's see. Pre-Nov2012. That means that we can't answer you for months yet?

Can I at least suggest that you try the Sims 3 help forum? This is clearly a problem with the Sims 3 patch and not with your computer.

I'm thinking even Sims 3 Help subsection can't help, if I'm reading that post correctly.
So let me confirm : EA Store & Exchange Sims3Packs installed fine, but other user-created Sims3Pack do not? As the only tool I know that creates Sims3Pack CC is the TSRW tool, perhaps this is best addressed to TSR Support.

I might have been confused however with the "sim3pkgs" term; do you mean Sims3Packs or packages? As they differ and has to be installed differently. If you're indeed talking about .packages CC, then I got confused again by the mention of Delphy's Multi-Installer...

So, in summary: if you meant
- user-made Sims3Pack content are not installed, then go to TSR and ask them. If this issue spans multiple creators, multiple content-type (CAS/Buy/Build), a long period of when the CC was created and uploaded, then it has something to do with the tool, otherwise, it is just the Sims3Pack being broken. Either of which, nothing we can help with.
- .package CC can't get installed, then reread the CC Basics and DFDD FAQs (in my signature) and follow those guides. If you still have trouble with this, then like Mootilda's suggestion, post in Sims 3 Help. But, when you do post, kindly provide all the information asked for - as stated in the Announcement over there.

Assuming of course, you need help now and not in Dec...
