Otherwise, click on the Downloads tab and install the premium content items via the Sims 3 Launcher. You may need to restart your launcher to see the now full Downloads tab. Note: You can use the World sims3packs (Hidden Springs/Lunar Lakes/Lucky Palms/Monte Vista/Aurora Skies/Midnight Hollow) to install Premium Content items that came with the worlds.Ĥ. You only need your premium content items. If you did not back up your downloads (tsk tsk), you will need to re-download your premium content items. Move your backed up premium content sims3packs into Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads. The Launcher will now re-build all necessary files to run the game.ģ. For Example: The Sims 3.old (All of your current content is store in this folder and it will not be lost in the process.)Ģ. Go to Documents\Electronic Arts\ and re-name the folder called “The Sims 3″ to something else.


Then we will install all Premium Content, and move the resulting ccmerged.package to our old The Sims 3 folder. To do this, we will use the “factory reset” method (re-name “The Sims 3″ folder) to create a fresh game environment. This is easy to do, especially if you back up your Store downloads (you DO back up your Store downloads, don’t you?). If you’ve already deleted your ccmerged.package, you’re going to have to get it back somehow.
