If you install a lot and it doesn't show in game, please try the following...

Go to: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3

- Move your DCBackup folder to your desktop. DO NOT DELETE THIS FOLDER
- Then install the Sims3Pack again. A new DCBackup folder will be generated.
- Go to the DCBackup folder that was generated with the install and take the package file for the lot (should be the only file there) and put it in your Library. You can rename it if you like since it will look like gibberish.
- Delete the DCBackup folder just generated and put the one from your desktop back in.

If you still have a problem installing, please let us know.
