The point is to sort through your .dbc files—bundled custom content—one at a time, rather than all at once. Hopefully the launcher will be able to display all the items in each single .dbc file, so you can uninstall what you need to from that bundle. But even if the launcher still crashes when you're looking at a particular file, you can delete just that file and keep the rest. Reinstalling whatever was in that .dbc bundle is a lot easier than reinstalling everything.
If your launcher crashes even after you've removed all the .dbc files, then there's something else wrong with it. The launcher doesn't exactly read the contents of Library, although it does display Library content you've installed through the launcher, i.e. downloaded houses or lots. Still, you could remove the entire Library folder and see whether it helps.
Or you could start with a fresh user data folder and start adding back your content. Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, then open the launcher to create a clean one. Method by Mell would still work here, as would gradually adding other content to the folder.
Not all solutions resonate with all players immediately or in exactly the same way. And some problems do have more than one path to resolution (not sure this one does, Method by Mell is golden for those who would rather not dump all of their Launcher installed game content and rebuild it from scratch one piece at a time). But referring to the products and guides of one of the finest and tireless helpers of Sims games ever to be on the scene as absolutely worthless is a bit over the line, I'm afraid, even if it were really the case that it's not the correct solution for the given problem.

I beg to differ. Crin's site is actually one of the best info sources for Sims 3 players, with or without game problems, along with Sims Wiki, SimsVIP and Carl's Sims 3 Guide.
And last but not least, BluebellFlora also deserves an honorable mention for helping all the poor Mac users who have been trying to play TS3 on their machines throughout the years.

I'd say it's all a fair assessment of what this community is comprised of,
and how everything works around here ...
I mean it's always [censored] and giggles ...
Until someone giggles and [censored].
Happy Simming!

We all love Crinrict, and I love @computertech82 too. I'm sure there was no intention to slam crinrict's work, only frustration over a malfunctioning launcher.
