The file extension is just dbc, not dbcs.
Don't copy the DCBackup at all, delete that.
From the DCCache folder just move the dcdb0.dbc file only into the Mods\ Packages folder (or in your case, Mods\ dbcss).
I want to amend what I wrote here; it is best to copy the dcdb0.dbc into the Mods\ Packages folder, not move it. I've been finding that, although Riverview and custom Sims3Packs are showing up okay, any worlds I created with the CAW tool disappear when moving the dcdb0.dbc file. I tried it any way I could (even moving all of the DCCache files) but having two copies seems the only way to have new worlds as well as custom Sims3Packs.
I had to actually uninstall and then reinstall my created worlds through launcher to get them to work. Be advised that your dependant saves will be deleted, so move your saves folder first.
I wanted to avoid having two copies of the dcdb0.dbc in game- as the game is surely reading the same information twice. Remember to re-copy the dcdb0.dbc file into Mods when you install future custom Sims3Packs.
Anything you install via the in-game store tool will be installed to the DCCache in Documents, so that's the one to backup.
If anyone has a better method, I'd be interested to know.

I think anything that was not downloaded from the store, or EA's site through the launcher is blocked with the new patch.
Yes and also sims3packs from custom content creators.
Yep. From what I can tell, launcher or no launcher, if you didn't download it from directly from the store into your game, you will no longer see it in your game.
I just wanted to say, I have allot of stuff I payed for from the store, that was downloaded from the store, that is also gone, as well as Riverview, and I can't re- Download Riverview or those store things ether, even the free stuff that I got myself is gone, and I have no CC or hacks/mods at all, Just the store stuff I got here, which is also gone of course.
I have also got a error with EA download Manager, when I go to launch the game, and when I tried to download Riverview from the the Sims 3 site.

I did the same, Simsample. I copied the DCCache folder to my Mods/Packages folder and used the Resource.cfg that Coconner posted a couple of pages back, everything from the Store, and what other custom content made with TSRW by free creators are in my game. The EA Store items don't have the Sims3Pack insignia that usually identified them in the catalog, so I don't know how that would carry with uploading lots or sims with those items in their packs. Oh and I do have Riverview, that was my test hood I opened up. Really am happy that my content is still there.
I do fear that sharing EA Store items in the future may not work and CC items may not download through the launcher with this update till the TSRW tool get updated. I tried to download a S3P in the launcher, but it didn't install. The ingame launcher tool worked, was able to download that coffee brewer the Store offered for free. I do hope that someone figure out a way to stop that damn button from glowing, it was annoying.
Fake Edit: You will need to do the recommended way of keeping the Store and TSRW CC, starting a couple of pages back to get them to show, pookysimslover.

I have a retail copy of the Base game, and the reloaded version of WA. After the patch it now tells me that my base game and expansion are incompatible and to please patch. However the launcher says that my game is up to date. Here's the game version it shows in launcher: 2.3.33.003002
WTF?
** I did something stupid. I left the cracked exe in instead of putting in the .bk
Same problem. It patched successfully but is still asking me to patch. I didn't replace with cracked exe. How to fix this?
Applying patch Sims3_1.8.25 fixed the problem. Yah!
Freezerburn:
I just patched my base game and WA. Unfortunately, my game crashed to desktop in main loading screen. I moved AM from directory and the game is able to go through loading a family and it crashed again. I try to move all mods and run the game without CC but no luck. Is there any fix for this?
