Hey, I've been reading a lot of posts regarding The Sims 3 issues with custom content on a Mac. I have been having the same problems too and I tried all of the advice that has been giving out to others to help. The game launcher is perfectly fine it just my cc is just not showing in CAS, but I downloaded some mods and my game reads it perfectly fine and it pops up every time I long on to play Sims 3. It's just my cc please help. I only downloaded cc from (Thesimsresource)

@Jazeeriii Did you download .package files or .Sims3Pack files, and how did you install them? Did you also delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 user folder after installing? For reference:

@Jazeeriii The Custom folder in your first screenshot won't be read by the game. To install Sims3Packs, the files need to be placed in the Downloads folder (the one inside the same Sims 3 folder), from where they can be installed through the launcher. After that, you can remove them from Downloads if you want.

@Jazeeriii In order to install Sims3Packs, you need to do the following:
Please do all of this and see whether your content shows up in-game. If not, please check multiple ages and outfit categories; it's not always obvious from the download pages that some items are meant for one age or type of outfit.

@Jazeeriii Some custom content gets classified as store content, for whatever reason, so please go through the categories again and make sure the dress is in fact not installed. If it's not, try repairing the game: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 3 icon, and select Repair.
If that doesn't help, please move the DCCache folder, inside the Sims 3 folder, to your desktop, then install the dress again and see whether it shows up. Moving this folder will effectively uninstall your store and custom content, but that can be addressed laster if you don't want to reinstall everything.

@Jazeeriii Try running the Origin reset tool, then see whether you can repair.
