Make sure you are installing the correct version of the patch for your region.

Or you could do this: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17743.0.html

I tried your fix and it slowed everything down even though I was offline.

3Viewer was not made to install/uninstall objects, nor can in filter through sets or install/remove store stuff.  It's okay, I'm content to wait at this point.

Is this only for sims3packs or do package files also stay there. This does concern me. What happens i foyu take out outdated stuff yet they still linger in the DCC Cache? Is this only post 1.8/2.3 or has it always been that way?

It only affects files installed by the Launcher, so Sims3packs.  The problem only occurs if you have 1.8/2.3.  I think its the game not recognizing pirated files.  Even though they show up in the Launcher, when you go to uninstall it fails a check or something, so they stay installed and cannot be removed without deleting files from the DCC Cache.

The store items are Sims3packs stored by default in your Downloads folder.  Just open the folder and delete whatever you don't want (or, alternatively, move it to another location for safekeeping).  There is also an uninstall button in the launcher ~ I assume this is what is not working for you when you refer to the error.

Deleting stuff from the Downloads folder doesn't remove it from the game, only from the list of Downloads.  I have done this before (mostly by accident) and the items still show up in-game.  I think I would need a way to selectively edit the dbc files in the DCCache, but since the individual file names would make no sense anyways, I'm not even going to bother figuring how to go about that.

I guess I'll just have to wait for the eventual community supplied launcher replacement and put up with a cluttered game for now.  Roll Eyes

I have a legit copy of the base game, no WA.  I am using the working launcher method to install pilfered store stuff with only a few hiccups (I can install everything except the Gothic, New Year, and New Orleans sets).  My problem comes in trying to uninstall store items, I always get a file not found error, same results with the updated launcher too.  I've looked around for a fix or a 3rd part program to do the job with no luck.  Has anyone else run into this and found a work around? 

Bonus: since I haven't seen this addressed elsewhere, has anyone else noticed their fences are solid when they shouldn't be?  The iron fences no longer have any spaces and are totally unusable in my game.

I followed the instructions to the letter, and the first time I opened the launcher from the working launcher folder it worked perfectly. Everything I tried installed perfectly with no problems. Since then, every time I open the launcher from there, previously installed files show up properly and new download files are recognized, but they won't install. The launcher seems to consider opening the files, but never does. Instead, a black box the size and shape of the initial installation box shows up and, after processing for a moment, just disappears. After that an exception file appears in the ...My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 folder.

Does anyone have any idea why this might have happened and/or how to fix it?

In the bin folder, there are S3Launcher and Sims3Launcher App files.  When I was using the first one, I encountered the same problem as you.  Make sure you are using the second one.  I hope that helps.

Translation (for people who seem incapable of figuring it out):

Two versions:
version one: If you have the store version download this one.  It is visible in every category except everyday, because that's where the store one shows up.

version two: Download this one if you don't have the store version.  It is visible in all categories.

Will not overwrite anything.



 Grin Thank you for this!  I was really upset when I saw that EA fudged up their best hair.  It's the only one that I find practical and I am glad to be able to use it.
