Weird DCCache issues when installing Store/CC
danielmyst:
I have about 2,790 CC/Store items I install into the Sims 3 so I use the handy Sims 3 Launcher. All this adds up to roughly 6.06GB total. I put all these .sims3pack files into the "downloads" folder in my root sims 3 folder in "documents" and install every single item through the launcher at once with success. I notice that the DCCache is only 2.02GB instead of the full 6.06GB size the DCBackup and Downloads folders are. I find it strange.
I then proceed to start the Sims 3 but notice that when I start up the game, THERE IS NO CC/STORE CONTENT AVAILABLE IN-GAME! I quit out of the game immediately to find the DCCache folder is empty! Same scenario each time after installing all of my content through the launcher like this.
What is causing this? I have AM installed while installing my CC through the launcher FYI.
My best guess is that the launcher can't install all these files in one go so it fills up the first DCCache file to its max (which is about 2GB?)

It's crapped. Search.

I've made sure the arr'd content was decrapified using Pescado's method.
Would it work if I put all 2,800 items through the decrapper and then try to install everything through the launcher again? Not all items are arr'd like the CC from others sites that I've downloaded from.

Did it ever occur to you that trying to install over 2,800 sim3packs at once might not be a good idea?

So you give yourself an answer and before even trying it out you start a new useless thread? And people wonder why they can't find anything here.

That's what I figured. Testing the limits of how many files the launcher can install at once is tedious :P
I was just thowing it out there for experienced users who might know a ballpark estimate of how many files the launcher can handle at once ???
