Patch 1.8/2.3 plus Create a World Released
coconnor:
Have you tried re-downloading it through the launcher? Items that you have previously purchased should be able to be re-downloaded in that manner. I've not closed the game yet to check any of that.

I dont think that is possible, the .dbc files are generated by the launcher so if it cannot install the sims3pack you are stuck ... you can use your previous items using that trick but that is it.
Either EA fixes this mess or Sims3packs are a dead format.
Actually the sims3pak works fine from every site but the official Sims3 site. If you want something from the store the patch now apparently monitors what you have paid for and what you have not. I had 2000 points from promotions. Everything that I obtained legally works fine. All of the sims store content that I have obtained from other sites are useless. I have sims3paks from SimsDesign Avenue and Around the Sims 3. Those are working fine.

Note entirely true. I have a bunch of things from 3rd party sites that were installed via launcher, that don't show up in the game. Namely from a handful of Asian sites and TSR. A few work. But more don't.

If what you say is true, people will have to be more creative when stealing from the EA Store. On an another note, I used the .dbc fix, and all seems to be fine. Though, there still could've been casualties in the patch.. but I didnt use those files anway, so no loss to me.

I've mainly had trouble with the Sims 3 site. I haven't downloaded much from TSR, but I download from Annosims, AT3, Sims Design Avenue and this site primarily, so I haven't run into too much problem other than a couple of patterns that wouldn't install.
