I just reinstalled it last night, but I keep getting this annoying error where it says my base game is incompatible with my Ambitions expansion pack and that I need to update it, but I already have. What are you exactly doing? Are you installing the Sims 3 and then updating or installing everything, then updating?

If any of you are interested, Seasons is now available for download on EA Origin (probably Steam too but Steam is being shitty) so if anyone pre-ordered or wants to pick it up, go for it.
It's weird, before I started doing the Jefferson Show, expansions to me were "what's got the coolest stuff?" and now I wonder "What will help me tell a better story?", it looks like Seasons helps in both departments.

Sorry to double post but I got my store stuff working! All I had to was move the DCCache folder out of the Sims folder to my desktop, from there I deleted the stuff from DCBackup and then re-installed everything in groups.

Had to read your post twice because if you deleted everything inside the DCCache folder, you delete all custom content installed via Launcher. You can delete all you want from the DCBackup folder, just don't delete ccmerged file.

I barely use the Launcher these day.

Amazon has a sale on Sims 3 downloads. Stuff Packs and World Adventures are $15. That being said, guess what I bought.

Well yeah, obviously, I also bought WA plus the Diesel Stuff pack. Depending on how long this sale is gonna last, I may have to go ahead and grab Master Suite or High End Loft Stuff.

I have every expansion, just got Seasons and been playing the hell out of it. Sims 3 is probably my favorite "non game" game if that makes sense.

Seasons is pretty great, I'm doing the Leisure Day episode of the Jefferson Show right now so I'll finally get to check out the Festivals feature. Can't wait to hit the beach in my shark costume.

The festival just arrived in my game and I'm about to try it out. Excited. Seasons is pretty great, I'm doing the Leisure Day episode of the Jefferson Show right now so I'll finally get to check out the Festivals feature. Can't wait to hit the beach in my shark costume. Awesome! Can't wait to see it. Photo below of hail at night:

ASKHER, I'm sure you've noticed that Hawk wanders around with no umbrella in the rain, how the hell do I fix that?

Go into buy mode and go to the Outdoors category. Click the Football and look for the correct umbrella since Seasons gives you a deco 'brella and one you put in your inventory. Buy it, CAST it if you want, and place it in your sims' inventory. You use it whenever when you're outside.

Master Suite/High Loft Stuff, $30 for both on Amazon, do they add any really great stuff or would that be a waste despite my wanting all the Stuff/Expansions (except Katy Perry/Supernatural, no interest unless I decide to do a really crazy series after what I have planned for after the Jefferson Show ends)?
While we're talking about Stuff packs, how awesome does 70s, 80s, and 90s Stuff look?

The only stuff pack that interests me is the 70s, 80s, 90s pack and the Diesel pack mainly since it add nice clothing for the men. The former looks AMAZING! simsvip.com/2012/11/09/sims-3-70s-80s-90s-fact-sheet-official-screens/For pictures and info on the SP. EDIT: Supernatural doesn't interest me either, but I like having all EPs. The SPs are a hit n miss.
