Keep 2-3 backups in case one breaks.īacking up the Store-Downloads is a good idea anyway in case EA decided not to host the files any longer. To easily get your stuff back when an update decides to uninstall everything, you should backup the files in DCCache and Downloads every time you successfully install new downloads.
If everything is back to normal, you can delete the files you have moved to the desktop in step 5. If not, I don’t have any other solutions atm Open the launcher/game and check if everything is back. Store Stuff can be downloaded from your purchase history. If you don’t have those files anymore, you will need to redownload them. If you usually move the files to a save place, copy them back into the \theSims3\Downloads and then install. Keep them to 200-500 MB in size, depending on your computer. If the *.ebc/*.dbc files are getting too big, the launcher has new problems. If you don’t clean out your downloads folder, you can simply reinstall everything but I don’t recommend to install everything in one go. All your stuff will be uninstalled now (except houses/sims) If you have any Store Worlds installed, go to \theSims3\InstalledWorlds and delete the files. If you don’t have your 3rd party downloads backed up, only delete the ebc files but it might not work as well if you do. Go to this folder: \theSims3\DCCache and move all files *.ebc (store) and *.dbc (3rd party content) files to your desktop (make a folder there). Open your Launcher/game to see if you have your stuff back. It’s a cache file that will be recreated on the next start of the Launcher. Go to this folder: \theSims3\DCCache and find a file called missingdeps.idx. If you save, all your houses and Sims will look different cause the downloads you used will be replaced. If you get a missing object warning you should immediately leave your game without saving. Unfortunately this does not seem to work for everyone but I don’t have a solution if this doesn’t work. To solve this, you probably need to reinstall all your custom content (including Store). Check your game if you have the stuff or not. In case of the launcher showing them as uninstalled, that might just be the launcher. It seems that certain updates (Origin or the game) can break your installed content and make it uninstalled. My launcher shows all my stuff as uninstalled. I started my game and got a missing objects warning.
