I have a problem with Sims 3
I don't know how to start this post, because I don't want to make it super long, but at the same time I want to explain how I got into this situation.
Lets' start with a problem itself. My sims 3 family lives in Riverview and at some point I noticed that some buildings are missing from the world.
Here are examples screenshots with missing school, city hall and spa:
There might be other building missing too, but that's the ones I noticed.
Backstory:
I haven't played Sims 3 for almost a year. I last actively played it in March of 2025.
When my sims were moving to Riverview I was using store content from phantom99. In February 2025 I switched to this version of store, the one that are not in packages but comes as already installed store content. I left the worlds files from phantom99 in my Sims 3 directory though, because I was afraid I would lose my save file. Then in March 2025 I stopped playing the game.
In January 2026 I started playing again, but only a little. Like about for 5 or 15 mins at max. I think at this point I started trying to install dxvk and Sims 3 Settings Setter, but I don't really remember.
In February I started playing Sims Medieval and after playing it for some time I felt the urge to play Sims 3 again. So I started playing a bit and the school and the spa were there, because my heir is a teen who works at spa, so he used both these buildings.
Then about a week or two ago I decided to switch back to store content from phantom99, because I saw this mod that makes game recognize store content in packages like a store content. Plus my game was laggy with nausallien's version of the store and also I didn't want the whole store tbh. So I did that, I switched.
Then I played for a few sims days and didn't notice anything bad. Apart from some of my sims missing their hair and clothes. I thought that it was because I switched the store content and they probably were using the store items. So after a few sim days I noticed that the school is no longer there. Then I went to city hall to use nraas mod and there were no city hall.
I though that it may have happened because of me switching store content. So I loaded a new game in Riverview and all buildings are in place. But I noticed that there were no intro video for the world, when the camera flies around the world to show it off and then lands on a map view. I started searching about this problem and didn't find anything apart from google ai summery that it may mean that store content is installed incorrectly. I know that we should not use ai and don't trust it, but if it's actually right then I need to fix it somehow. But I don't know how, because I can't find anything about this problem.
I know this post is already long and confusing, but I just now loaded into my old Sims 3 folder, the one with preinstalled store from nausallien. And there's also no into fly over the world videos for store worlds. But all worlds are doubled, because it has all world files in InstalledWorlds folder in documents folder.
So now I am starting to think that this no fly-over the world camera is maybe not a dig deal. I don't know 🤔
Oh forgot to say that I tried backing up my Sims 3 documents folder and run the game for it to create a new folder, then add store content to this new folder (only store content, no mods) and run the game. And there still no fly-over the world intro.
Also I want to mention that fly-over the world intro does work for Sunset Valley, that's the only in game world I have now because I only have Base Game, World Adventures and High-End Loft Stuff installed right now as I am playing the lepacy.
Does anyone know how to bring back fly-over the world intro for store worlds? I understand that it's probably not possible to fix my Riverview missing buildings, so I need to move my sim family to another world. But I'd like to fix this fly-over the world issue before I bring my family to the new world.
I hope I don't need to re-install the whole game, but if that will fix my issue I may go for it.
