for now the glitch is gone but so is my custom content and it took me WEEKS to download and install it all.
all the content is still in the packages folder as per your guide but NOTHING shows up I used to get a nice little screen that said basically that CC was installed wheen running the game. now I don't and I don't know how to fix it aside from reinstalling from the beginning.
which I have I took out everything in the package folder and put it back in and when that didn't work (it always worked with sims 2...) i have began reinstalling by hand one file at a time having it 'override' what's there. now a few things have shown in installed content maybe five or six
out of the thousands in the package folder,
WHAT GIVES?!?!?!?!
this is all on windows 7 on a good strong computer.

Hello,
Well, If the CC box does not appear you broke something. For Sims 4, you can right click on the Sims 4 game in 'My games' on Origin and select 'repair game', but Sims 3 does not have that option. Before you do anything further/major like reinstalling your game, I'd contact Sims 3 support at EA. They can run you through some fix options. It's their game, they are the experts.
FYI - You do not have to test each piece of CC individually, Put half in there and see if it loads, If it does not, take half out and test the remaining part, then you can narrow it down quicker. Usually, if you are having a problem with cc, when you did not have that problem previously, it could be due to your more recent downloads. Just test those. It is tedious to test CC so be systematic about it.
Make sure you put your CC in the correct places.
See if the
resource.cfg file and your Downloaded CC is in the correct places.
Resource.cfg goes in My Documents>Electronic Arts> The Sims 3>
Mods
All your 'package' CC files go in a folder called
Packages,
My Documents>Electronic Arts> The Sims 3>Mods>
Packages and no where else. You can subfolder the packages cc.
The My Documents>Electronic Arts> The Sims 3>
Downloads folder is only for Sims3 packs.
In case you've deleted your Resource.cfg file, I've attached it for you.
