This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Need help installing worlds from .Sims3Pack without launcher
So my Sims 3 launcher has been broken for as long as I can remember. I can launch the game through it but I can't install .Sims3Packs.
Recently I've wanted to play with the worlds in the EA store, Riverview specifically, so I downloaded them. Can't install them through the launcher, so I followed this guide. Did everything until I reached step 6.

I'm confused on what step 6 is telling you to do. How do you extract STBL'S to riverview.package? I tried, as a last resort, just skipping the step, but unsurprisingly the game got stuck on the final point of loading when i chose the world. help appreciated

1) run S3PE, open riverview.world
2) export the STBL of the language you use
3) run S3PE, open riverview.package
4) import the STBL you just exported into this package
5) save


forgive me, but how do you export the stbl in the first place? i'd want to export the stbl of english, but i have 0 idea how to do that. many apologies

You could launch the game and at the game select screen click the ... button and open the downloads dashboard and install Riverview that way. That is how I install my store items.

Excuse me, but did I understand the question correctly? Do you need to add some content from .Sims3Packs to the game, but you can't use the EA Sims3Launcher?
All you need is S3PackageViewer by AnriRS.
I've been using this tool since I started playing Sims, because this tool is not just loader, but also is the best viewer for loaded and stored content, custom or EA. And, well, the best remover also.
I don't remember the last time I used EA Sims3Launcher.
