World not installed but installed

Post by littlelambsy » November 6th, 2017, 12:34 am

How do you solve the problem of installing a world (Dragon Valley) when the launcher says it's already installed - but it isn't. I've checked the installed worlds folder, not there, then I checked the world cache files but there are none for that world. When I start the game and go to choose the world, its not listed as installed. Any suggestions?

Uhm...uninstall it by way of the Launcher and try again by using the Downloads Dashboard? Or is that what you were already doing?

Thanks igazor, that was a quick response :) I will try and uninstall it from the launcher and see if it shows up. What's the downloads dashboard, is that the launcher?

I'm not at my gaming system at the moment, and I hardly ever start up the game using the Launcher unless I have something to install, but isn't the Downloads Dashboard a choice for you on the Main Menu once the Launcher is up and running and you log ins?

I never use the launcher either, except for installing stuff. I use the shortcut option and never log in to the game. I'll check and see what options I have. I'm just searching through the installed content at the moment to see if I can find the world. Just another interesting question, I find all my sims are showing as installed but I deleted them from the library. If they're still installed, how do I find them?

I checked the launcher and Dragon Valley is not listed as installed. All my other worlds were there but not that one, yet it says it's installed when I try to install it.

Hi littlelambsy ... I had the exact same problem way back. I'll see if I can find the thread that has the answer.
Do you have a disc or is your install digital?

Hello again littlelambsy...I forgot you are on Steam. Not sure what the logic is with Steam installs and do not want to confuse things by saying what "I Think"..
Have you been able to sort it out yet?

It really shouldn't make any difference, but I hope that littlelambsy isn't trying to use a download from back when she was on Origin/disc to install the world. We know those need to be downloaded over again when on Steam.
