Did it ever occur to you that trying to install over 2,800 sim3packs at once might not be a good idea?
I wasn't aware that many Sims3Packs even existed. Has the Store really gotten that huge?
My directory of official sims3packs is 5.42Gb 636 files and that is almost everything I could get my hands on. So I guess the OP has a lot of CC installed via sims3pack. I learned a while back that trying to install even 636 files all at once will cause the launcher to miss a lot of content, requiring reinstall. So I did it in groups of 20, which the crap-launcher was able to manage.
Ambular:
I figured out some time ago that the Launcher pulls the same bullshit that BodyShop used to in ye olde days and tries to load not only the DCCache content, but also everything in the Mods folder whenever you start it. If you've got much content in your Mods folder, try temporarily renaming it to something else before you start the Launcher to try to install anything. That's the only way I can get Sims3packs to install anymore.

OK, I Keep a backup of all my vanilla sims3packs and I think(thought) I have(had) everything and I only have 515 items at 4.85 gigs. I know I may have missed backing up an item or two but still, as far as CC goes that is a big difference. Now my DCCache folder has 12 dbc files, ebc files are non store stuff, at 2.96 gigs. Hows yours? I only ask because I am crazy and MUST HAVE THEM ALL!!!! As far as installing goes though I've only had to re-install everything once or twice and I tried it the first time all at once, it missed a lot of stuff. After that I did one page at a time and all went well.

DCCache is 2.94Gb, 12 items. I probably have a couple duplicated items in there, such as individual items from sets for bug fix reasons and while I usually attempt to avoid duplicate sets and only cleaned them out recently, there might be a couple duplicates from compilations, simpoint bundles or naming differences.. I'm pretty sure I have all the Dr Pepper stuff and all worlds are installed. So based on the size of our installed content, It seems we have pretty much the same, and the difference might be simply compression from running s3rc, or possibly you have more actual items than me, and if so, I MUST HAVE THEM!
I did just notice that my more recent backup on my server has 5.62Gb and 612 files. I'll do a compare later and see if I can work out why that is, and I'll post a directory listing so you can compare that against your own directory.
*edit*
Ok my server had some fixes in the folders and I had 2 custom lots in my local folder, so that explains the differences, however, allowing for the duplicates and extras I found, I have only managed to get it down to 582 files, so possibly some duplicates there still.
I have attached the current directory listing.
virgali:
I currently have everything store related installed with the exception of the new KP mystery bag sim items and the new Circust type thing set. I only have 7 .dbc files but my DCCache folder is 3,01 Gigs. My downloads folder (which has a BB duplicate in it) is 4,65 Gigs. My system can't unpack all the .sims3packs in one go so I usually unpack about 200-250 files at a time.
