I've got a problem ; when I want to download an item via the launcher, it says that it was succesful but there isn't the sign that it is installed in the game.
And yet, I followed the instructions...
What can I do ? ???
SEARCH MOAR.

My problem with installing store stuff is that only some of it gives me a "you must upadate your software... yada yada". My game is fully up to date, version 3.2. I have WA and HELS. Nothing of mine is arred. I tried decrapifying. I tried installing from the dashboard, which told me was installed, but it lied. Since it had lied to me, I tried deleting the contents of the DCCache and then clicking all in the launcher. Again the update software message came up. The items are the renault, hair Curls on the Side, hair Flip, various Around the Sims items and a few patterns I picked up along the way.
Is anyone able to help?

I suppose if you patched your game to the latest, you should change the files you use in the working launcher too. I get the message, but haven't done anything about it yet, because the only things that will install in my game are those I install from the EA site. cc isn't marked installed, neither is decrapified stuff. But it is in game in spite of that. The main problem is that the launcher installs them individually, small dbc files for each time, if I try again, it will install them again. I found lots of dbcs of the same size, with a few minutes difference.
So I make big packages while I muster the time and energy to reinstall the game.
I don't like decrapifying anyway because of the duplicates when you download houses, or the objects disappearing from the downloaded houses.

Protip: decrapify downloaded houses before installing them.

This method no longer works for versions above 1.11.7;
Due to a change in the command line the old executable won't be able to read the arguments properly.
The new method consists on while you press to install the content, the game will extract the .Sims3Pack's to DCBackup folder, after he finishes to extract them, he join them into a single file at the TEMP directory, after that it rename it's extension to .DBC and insert into DCCache folder.
The new command line is the following:
<EXE DiR> -ccinstall:"<TEMP DiR>/tsl**********.tmp" -r:450x350 -w -nosound
Since the old executable was not made to read it that way, it crashes.
So who use this method will have to use Pescado's Recompressor to decrapify CC or get back to extract and join files with S3PE.
