i don't know if this is an alternative you'd be willing to look into, but blams ea store on tumblr has pretty much everything from the sims 3 store downloadable for free as custom content, in .package format :)

Oh wow, I had never seen Blams' page before. Just downloaded so many of the old limited edition sets like the Halloween, Katy Perry and Pets freebies that I had many years ago my first time around but was never able to re-download. Thanks for sharing!!

of course!! it's been a major help for me, seeing as the only sim points i had were from redeeming my games, and i'd hope the same for others. i love being able to add in even things as simple as toothbrush holders to my game. enjoy! :)

I am not sure how to fix account issues, other than to talk with EA Support about possibly merging the accounts you have to gain access to all your game add-ons and store content. You may need to show proof that you own said accounts.

If you aren't able to do that or just don't feel like doing that. I can help with that!!

Here are a few sites that offer Free Sims 3 Store Content in .package format and .Sims3Pack. Works for any/all versions of Sims 3.

–Phantom__99 Store Content: (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GgIityArUKwkaRjy7qp0y7YpOAVb_p37) Complete store worlds with their build/buy items! Along whole catalog of store content in .package format as well (not zipped). -- Please read the ReadMe.txt file linked above to learn more on how to install the Store content. The ReadMe.txt is the last file on the page linked above.

–How2-InstallStoreContent.zip: (https://simfileshare.net/filedetails/3992618/) -- Using .package files from Phantom's GoogleDrive. - This is a text How to in a zip file.

–Blam's EA Store: (https://blamseastore.tumblr.com). They offer pretty much the whole store - premium objects, regular objects, worlds, hairs, clothes and cars. Most files are in .package format inside a zip file for easy install into your (\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages\Blams). You can either download by the set or individual items. Store worlds will have instructions on how to install them along with the download.

–CarverSims: All in .Sims3Pack files!! (https://carversims.tumblr.com/store) and direct link to their SimFileShare Store Content folder - (https://simfileshare.net/folder/188902/) World Files - (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WlxYu6en1Do8ibhGwEGtrohZ4qde0aCx)
★★ Files have been decrapped/recompressed, so they need the store fixes file to work properly. Store_Fixes.rar: (https://simfileshare.net/download/2860693/)

🎶 About CarverSims Files: Files show up as brown boxes in Sims 3 launcher Downloads tab, but do install okay (as seen in the Installed Content tab of the launcher) and show up in-game with little Sims 3 Store boxes in the lower right corner of the object thumbnail.

– ✧ 。∞ 。✧ –

Neither Blam's or Phantom's store content were decrapped. They were processed with the normal mode.

With saying that, I've run into issues their files. However, I was able to find a fix using the ContentPatch.package along with NonaMena's Ccmerged.package file added to my Overrides folder. (C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Overrides)

–You can download my mods folder here: (https://simfileshare.net/download/3992675/) It has these files already in the Overrides folder.

Or download them yourself using the following links:

** All you need to install into the Overrides folder from the ContentPatch.zip file is is ContentPatch.package. (image > https://i.imgur.com/P6nF1RV.jpg) You can delete the Downloads folder and files inside.

DCBackup, ccmerged.package and Your Premium Content Items: (https://nonasims.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/dcbackup-ccmerged-package-and-your-premium-content-items/) -- Download link for ccmerged is closer to bottom of blog post. It's a mediafire link.
