Has anyone else broken their game as badly as this?
Rhumba:
Yes, Gwill - I borked my game exactly the same way yesterday while trying to fiddle with the store content that I had arrrred, but had gone missing after I installed WA. At that point, only store stuff was affected - the worlds and saved games were all fine.
At some point, after removing the DCCache .package files and plunking them into Mods/Packages, I got to pat myself on the back for about 15 minutes because all the store stuff was back, but parts of the map had gone wonky. Exited and reloaded, and it was fully wonky. Overseas maps too.
Reinstalling Riverview worked briefly, but the moment I went off to China, it unraveled again.
I can confirm that the .dbc and Riverview.world torrents from Witch's post do in fact clear up both the missing store content and the world map layer explosion problems. I did not lose anything in my saved games.
The bizarro way this game uses add on content makes me feel like my directories are organized by a dementia patient on crack.

I ended up with something similar a while back with a custom world, it was caused by a package getting caught up with ordinary packages and ending up in the mods directory. Partially caused by the broken launcher, partially caused by the gymnastics needed to get sims3packs to show up.

You must go to Documents -> Electronic Arts -> The Sims 3 -> DCBackup -> delte all this inside the folder
Sorry for my bad english ^^ ;D

Sorry about the run on sentence, I was a little confused and pissed off. I thought the only way to get it fixed was to install it the way it was done before, with the launcher. However installing Riverview through the launcher is what started this whole thing in the first place. I think I may have a new problem which appeared I found about an hour ago. I went to load my save, the box where it shows the lot picture had a picture of a house made with dashed lines, the save loaded almost instantly except it said something to the effect of, A serious error has occurred while loading '(Savegame name).sims3'. It is strongly recommended that you restart the application. I think it may be caused by saving in edit town mode but am trying to confirm this. I have changed nothing from when it would save and load fine to this morning when I went to play.
Roobs:
I can't remember, but it might require more voodoo or clearing of files.
Of course, I sometimes get this error randomly, for no reason. Repeated attempts cause it to go away. *shrugs*
