Transferring downloads from backup folder to the active one
imyourboy:
If you are talking about the downloads folder for store items that will not show up by just placing the items from the old downloads folder to the new one. You would actually have to have the dcCache folder from your old install. Then all of your old store items will show up. If you are strictly talking about the Mods folder those should not have to be "installed".

After reinstalling, i have placed the old mods folder into the newly-made ts3 documents directory.
This process works just fine for me when I reinstall the game. So it must be something you have done, or haven't done.

Everything in order. Trust me, i wouldn't be posting here if i hadn't looked under every single rock.
What a crock of shit. If this were true everything would be WORKING. Why does everyone say this when they have a problem, thus making it nearly impossible to fix because they won't consider that they fucked up.

This could be the issue.

I'm not sure how that implication is of any relevance to this topic.

If you didn't make a backup of your Sims3 folder before uninstalling and you are missing all of your store items, then you would have to get all the .Sims3Pack files and reinstall those. If you downloaded them from here then you need to follow the process for decrapifying them, etc. If you actually bought them from the Store then you can go online and re-download and install from the store.

Thank you for the suggestion, imyourboy.
On another note, reinstalling .package files (moving them out of the folder and double-clicking them back in) made them readable.
Odd issue, but possibly solved.
