hey guys, i need a bit of help. So i haven't played Sims 3 in awhile. Logged on a few days ago, and the towns that came with purchased expansion packs are gone. So for the last few days I've been reading tons of forums and trying their solutions. Sadly, none worked for me. So I backed up my cc and mods and just reinstalled everything. And I'm still missing my towns. The only expansion packs I don't own are 'into the future", "movie stuff" and "70s,80s,90s stuff". Anyone have any other ideas? I really don't want to count this as loss for me because I really enjoy this game. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

not sure if i made it clear but my expansion packs are installed on the launcher but aren't in the dropbox on Sims 3 main menu. Thank you in advanced

I'm really sorry the tips didn't help. I know how frustrating Sims 3 can be, specially when not working properly.

The other thing you may want to do later on is contact EA's Customer Service to see if they may be of help.

If you're willing to give it another go, please let me know. Maybe we can put our heads together and get it working for you.

I really don't like when fellow Simmers are having problems with their game.
