Venues not showing up?

luvalphvle

I have a bunch of store venues that aren't showing up. I know they're installed because the individual items are showing up in the game build/buy mode, but the lots themselves aren't in my library. Does anybody have any advice?

Can we have some examples of store lots that aren't showing up? Some of the store sets are misleading and they don't come with venues, or the venues were designed and provided as separate downloads.

I own the entire store, everything. I'm missing:

Business As Usual Bistro
Deliciously Indulgent Bakery
Grandpa's Grove
Grim's Ghastly Manor
Last Venue of Amore
Le Cinema Plumbob
Lucky Simoleon Casino
Olympian Physique
Prism Art Studio
Serenity Retreat
The Boardwalk
The Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire
The Golden Ticket Toy Shop
Tiny Prodigies Early Learning Center

Wow, that's quite a list.

Typical procedure would be to use the Launcher to uninstall the sets, redownload, and install them again. Maybe not all at once, just two or three to see if that makes any difference.

Second, more drastic, would be to dump all ebc (store) content from the DCCache folder, re-download, and re-install everything from your Purchase History.

And third, since most (all but one?) of these involve premium content, would be to suspect ccmerge.package file breakage. It's a small file that is supposed to live in DCBackup. Although usually when this happens, the symptoms are such that no premium content items work properly at all.

I can't find the venues in the launcher at all. I've gone into the folders themselves and deleted the package files and the set files, then tried redownloading the venue, and that didn't work.

I'd really not like to go through and download all my Store content again. There is a lot.

Right now I'm trying this. I'm putting a backup of my entire Sims folded on my desktop. It's about 20% done and it says it's going to take 40 more minutes just to move the files. Ugh.

I tried this method with one missing venue and it worked! Now I'm trying to add all of them back in. We'll see how it goes.

Success! My lots are back!

That's great, and I'm not surprised. Crinrict is a genius.
