Sims 3 Mods - Having trouble getting downloads to work.?

I followed the instructions for making the mod folder, making that little text file, putting the files into the packages folder and all that, but the mods I've downloaded still aren't working with the game.



Does anyone have a clue what I missed or a step-by-step (that I haven't followed...) that I could try? (I've checked out four different instructions, all of them were the same, and I did what they said...so...cross reference says: It should work! But it doesn't...)







Here's what I've done in more detail:



Created the Mods Folder in the Sims folder (is that supposed to be hiding in documents? because that's where it plopped itself when I installed the game and where a friend of mine goes with hers, and it all works just fine there).

Created the resources.cfg file with



"Priority 500

PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package

PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package

PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package

PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package

PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/.package"



inside of it.



First tried just adding the download files to the mods folder, then also tried making a packages folder and placing all of them there.



This is the process the four sources plus my friend took me through...what did I miss?Sims 3 Mods - Having trouble getting downloads to work.?
Hello,

The process of installing .package mods on the sims 3 can be confusing. A lot of people have different opinions on how to do it properly. However, after looking at my resource.cfg file I notice that you're missing some information there. What you need to do is clear out what you have in it, and put this in:


Priority 501

Priority 1000

Sims 3 mods, and extras?

I'm brand new at the Sims. And I'm sick of the hair and I heard there are extras and stuff. But I have NO IDEA what mods are, how to install them, and how to add them to the game. Please tell me a website, how to install cool stuff and everything else.Sims 3 mods, and extras?
A "mod" is just another a game modification. It alters the game play and lets you do things you normally wouldn't be able to do like, have an adult/teen relationship and have your teen Sims "woo-hoo" and get pregnant.

You wouldn't necessarily need to install a mod if all you want is new hair. All you would need is to download hair from Sims 3 sites.

Here are a few free sites that I get/got my hair from -
- Mod the Sims1 http://modthesims.info/browse.php?f=372%26amp;…
- XM Sims [female] http://www.xmsims.com/sims3/ehtm/fhair/f…

- The Sims Resource1 2 http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads…

These [↑] links sites are the only ones that I could think of right now. If you go to a Sims 3 site and click 'Link', you'll be able to follow the link to another site where they might have more hairs/clothes/objects/etc for you to download.

How to install the files -- http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Ga…
You'll need this for all the links except for The Sims Resource, those downloads go directly to the game.

-Edit-
I forgot to tell you that you NEED the 'resource.cfg' file so that your downloads show.
You should be able to find it on the page, I gave you for the installing help.

How Do I Completely Remove Sims 3 Mods?

A while back I had the Sims 3 on my laptop and I had added a multitude of mods into the game. I got bored quickly and uninstalled the game completely. Well now I'm interested again but when I got to play the game there are no skin options, I can no longer choose male/female, and a lot of it's functionality is gone. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works. I've realized though that when I first install and go to play it's normal but as soon as I update it the problems occur again.

    Ive tried everything i have even installed Monkey Helper and i Have WinRAR too but its not working...I dont know what else to do..I download and extract mods to my Desktop and then copy/cut and paste them into C:/Documents/ElectronicArts/TheSims3/Mod鈥? but they dont show up in my game or in the Sims 3 Launcher Downloads section... Someone PLEASE HELPPPHow do you get The Sims 3 mods/Package Files to work on Windows 7?
    Hey! I'm a Windows 7 Ultimate user, I'll help you with that.



    In order to get the game running with the new MODS directory, make sure you create the Mods folder in the following path:



    Windows Vista/7: "C:\Users\%26lt;Account Name%26gt;\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\"



    Windows XP/2K: "C:\Documents and Settings\%26lt;Account Name%26gt;\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\"



    Create a "Resource.cfg" file using notepad. Use the following details in that file:



    Priority 500

    PackedFile DCCache/*.dbc

    PackedFile Packages/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*/*/*.package



    Once you do that, create TWO folders inside the new "Mods" folder, "DCCache", and "Packages". And voila! Your game now has the official Mods directory set! Just move over your mods from the original path into the new "Package" directory, delete the old Mods folder and "Resource.cfg" Framework.

    How do you download mods for Sims 3?

    I've noticed that on Mod The Sims 2/3 there's a lot of really good mods, and I tried to download one. Specifically, I want to download the teen pregnancy mod.

    Can someone Please help me with installing Mods into The Sims 3?

    I'm trying to use a website called modthesims.info to download Mods for The Sims 3 PC. I thought I downloaded all of the software I needed to make the Mods work in my game. I have WinRAR and I used it to extract the files into the folder I created Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Package just like the instructions on the website told me to, but still, when I search for the custom content in the game itself it is no where to be found. Maybe I'm not extracting the files correctly, but I don't see what else I can do. Can anyone Please help me Properly install Mods into my game, find them in the game, and make them work? Are there any other programs I may need in order to make them work correctly? If anyone is familiar with this, please help me out. Thanks =)Can someone Please help me with installing Mods into The Sims 3?
    There is a program you can download called TS3 installer helper that will allow you to install mods with just a click.



    You have to sign up for this site to download it.

    A mod is totally different than custom content. You basically install them in the same way, but they are NOT the same thing. A mod changes your game; it makes it easier/harder to do something, adds/removes a feature in the game, etc. Custom content (at least in the Sims world) includes things like different clothing, hairstyles, wallpaper patterns, etc.



    If you have the latest patch or the Pets expansion pack, some custom content will not work. This is mainly things like extra slots on tables and such. If that's what your issue is, that's the problem.



    Here is MTS's great tutorial about how to install .package files:

    http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?titl鈥?/a>



    And this teaches you about custom content, which I suggest you read:

    http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?titl鈥?/a>



    If you follow the instructions, the items will show up in your game. Just read the CC basics first so you're not trying to download something that won't work (wrong patch, wrong expansion, etc.).

    How do I get mods and meshes to work in The Sims 3?

    I used to be able to do this, but my laptop crashed and it took 6 months to get it fixed and since I couldn't play The Sims 3 and use mods I forgot how to put them in the games to make them work. I have a few that I really want in the game to make it more fun. If anyone could help that would be great!How do I get mods and meshes to work in The Sims 3?
    Are the files .package files?

    If they are, you need to create a folder Mods and then packages folder inside the Mods folder so it should be like this:

    Windows: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages

    Mac: right click the sims 3.app and select show package contents. Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/P鈥?Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages



    Place all the package files in there (the packages folder)



    You also need to download the resource.cfg and put it here:

    (Windows) C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 or

    (Mac) Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/P鈥?Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3

    Get Helper Monkey off www.modthesims.info

    Double click the .package files after you have unzipped them.

    It puts them in the Mods Folder.

    Also.

    Get Monkey Bars, also off of www.modthesims.info

    If not, when installing from the disc, and it ask to save to location.

    Do the same as when you checked the path and folders



    Double check with Electronic Arts website or the website you downloaded from or with your manual, about where the file should be installed at.

    I've done everything correctly...I've moved the EA/Sims 3 folder over %26amp; over again. Now it currently resides in the Program Files (x86) folder. I digitally downloaded the game, so I didn't have the Mods folder...but several websites said that I could just create a Mods folder %26amp; Packages folder. So, I created them and put in the Sims 3 folder. I downloaded the Resource.cfg file %26amp; placed it in the Sims 3 folder as well.

    How to download sims 3 mods?

    Ok I've tried YouTube videos to teach myself (not worth the time) then I used isleys guide and then the mod the sims one on the website to figure it out but it never works so Ima post wht I did and someone tell me wht I did wrong.



    1 downloaded 7 zip

    2 made mod and packages folder

    3 downloaded resource.cfg

    4 saved it in mod folder

    5 downloaded nointro

    6 extracted files and deleted zip file

    7 put files into packages folder

    8 tried to play game but the thing didn't install or work



    I've done these steps like a million times can someone plz tell me wht I did wrong literally I've torrentrd easier than this unfortunantly I can't torrent mods. Also plz no more guides just tell me wht I did wrong.How to download sims 3 mods?
    I can't see what you've done wrong here - from what you've said you've done everything exactly right!



    The file doesn't 'install' - the only way you can see if it's worked is to run the game and check. The nointro mod is just a quick way to test to see if the set up is working, since you can see straight away if your game skips the intro videos.



    In step numbers 6 and 7 you say you extracted 'files' from the zip file - the only file that needs to go in the packages folder is the actual .package file (I know I'm really picking apart what you've said here but I'm just trying to understand why on earth it's not working for you!)



    Are your mods and packages folders in the right place? They need to be made in your root folder under 'documents' (your full file location should be Documents%26gt; Electronic Arts%26gt; The Sims 3%26gt; Mods%26gt; Packages) - sometimes people make a mistake here by making their new folders in their sims folder in the program files section instead of in the documents library.



    Some other things that may cause problems:

    Is your game patched to version 1.12 or later? If you haven't updated past 1.12 then you'll have to update for this to work.

    Make sure your folder names are exactly like this - "Mods" and "Packages"

    Try deleting your cache files - instructions on how to do this can be found here: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game鈥?/a>



    If you've done all of this, and followed the tutorials exactly, then your content should be working. If it still isn't, then you should post in the modthesims help forums to have the staff take a look at your set up to see if they can spot what's going wrong.



    Follow this link ( http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game鈥?/a> ) and towards the bottom you'll see a section called "Step 3 - Collect information for help" - get everything you need then follow the link in step 4 to post in the forum (you may need to make an account first)

Recently, in the search of some information about the sims 3, I came across sites that kept referring to "Mods"? Please excuse my ignorance, but I tried to acquire information by researching, but I kept getting sites that just asked me to download crap.

    So, could someone please inform me: What are "Mods"? Custom content? I don't get it. How do they work? Who creates them? Just any basic information about it that you can give me will be appreciated. Also, are they safe? Anything you know about them, inform this Sims 3 simpleton! Thanks. :DCan someone inform be about the Sims 3 Mods?
    Mods are short for modifications. They alter the games features and can also introduce some but they are not made by the company that makes the game but by the users. So they are sort of unnoficial. There are many different mods for almost all computer games and for the sims there are mods that can make teens have woohoo or that can take the blur off of the sims when they are taking a shower. There are some dangers of using mods. If you use mods that are made improperly your game will not load or it will get corrupt. I am using some mods and they are from trusted websites and are safe to use.

    What happened to my sims 3 mods?!?!!?

    i just went into my documents%26gt;electronic arts%26gt;sims 3...which is where my mods folder usually is but it's just not there anymore! the last time i played the sims was probably about a month or two ago and i had no problems with it whatsoever, but now i just turned it on and the mods folder was NO WHERE to be found! i even looked into all the folders that are there, and nothing. i had a good 20 or so mods installed that i liked VERY much and i don't know how to find them again! i thought about just redoing it all together, but when i was looking through everything, i realized how hard it would be to replace all of my mods that i had, i can't even remember what all of them were called! I did play the game, just to see if they were still there and not showing up, but there not there anymore! all of the options i previously had with my mods (like master controller, etc.) aren't available anymore! GAHH! D:



    i was just wondering if this is something that ever happens, why it happens so i can prevent it, and how i can recover those missing files. i'm not very tech-savvy, but i can figure stuff out pretty easily if it's broken down into steps. so if you could please help with this that'd be great!



    just so you know, i didn't delete them myself (obviously); i'm on the same account i was on before when it was working (about 1 and a half months ago...?); i searched within my documents to see if it might have gotten moved but it wasn't there; i haven't really done any "cleaning" of my pc lately, and if i did a full cleaning i would have spotted it and not deleted it; i'm the only one who uses this computer so no one else deleted it; i have a pc with windows vista.



    also, it would really help if you know what you're talking about if you could turn on your IM or email option on yahoo answers so i could message you or IM you with any questions! thank you in advance!What happened to my sims 3 mods?!?!!?
    Ok the first thing you can do is a search for the folder, if your sure you didn't delete then it might be somewhere else in your game folder. Go to start, search, all files and folders. Type mods in the search bar and click local drive c. If its on your hard drive this should find it.

    SIMS 3; Mods and custom content help?

    I've posted two questions about this and they helped so much! But the only thing is I don't think i'm putting the recource thingy in the right folders and things. I went on youtube and searched for help but nothing made sense. I have a toshiba laptop on windows xp and all the tutorials I was watching were MAC and stuff, So it's all different settings. Can someone comment a GOOD link for a video that would make sense with the whole process? I'm not 100% sure WHERE to put the mods and packages folder. Could someone comment a link thing like * Documents/ EA games/ sims 3/ downloads * or something like that so i know EXACTLY where to put it? And also, AFTER that will it automacticly go into my game?? I'm a little bit frustrated.SIMS 3; Mods and custom content help?
    Alright, I think you're confused because me and Looky told you to put the mods and packages folders in different places when we answered your last question. so here's what you're going to do:



    Way 1: Go to your game folder and create a new folder. name it "Mods". go into that folder, create a new folder and name it "Packages". put your custom content file in the Packages folder. after doing that, put the "Resource.cfg" file in the game folder, too. I've already given you the link to the "Resource.cfg" file in your last question.



    Note: After following the instructions mentioned in Way 1, you'll find the custom contents you want installed in the game. for example, the custom content was female hair, go to the "Create a Sim" section of the game and you'll find the hair you want there. so Yes, it will go automatically into your game after that.



    If you couldn't find the custom contents installed in your game after following Way 1 then follow Way 2. although I'm sure you will find the custom contents as this works for me.



    Way 2: go to My Documents %26gt; Electronic Arts %26gt; The Sims 3 %26gt; Mods %26gt; Packages and put the custom content file there. I tried it and it didn't work for me but it may work for you.



    Note: The game folder is the folder where you installed your game. back when you were installing The Sims 3. If you chose automatic installation of the game, then the game folder would be here "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3". but If you chose custom installation of the game, then the game would grant you the choice of the game folder location. The "Automatic" and "Custom" installations were options while you were installing the game, can you remember them?



    Note: I think you already know how to install ".Sims3pack" files. if you don't, refer to your last question. if you're still confused, e-mail me as your continuous questions make me feel that I'm an idiot who can't explain how to install a bunch of simple files.SIMS 3; Mods and custom content help?
    I'll try to explain in simplest terms.



    If you've already downloaded the mods, and extracted them using a program like WINRAR, then right click it. Select properties. Is the type of file a:



    PACKAGE file (.package)

    - OR -

    Sims 3 Custom Content (.sims3pack) file?



    If it is a '.package' file, then you will have to create a Mods and Packages folder. So go to:



    C:\Users\[YOUR USER HERE]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3



    And create a "Mods" folder. Go in the "Mods" folder, then create a "Packages" folder inside the "Mods" folder. After that, place all the '.package' files inside the "Packages" folder.



    If it is a '.sims3pack' file, then simply place it in the "Downloads" folder. It is already there, you do not have to create any folders. After you place them in the "Downloads" folder, go to the Sims 3 Launcher, then go to the "Download" section of the Launcher. Click "Select All" then "Install".

    Help! Having trouble downloading sims 3 mods!?

    I've done everything, including putting the resource file in my root folder and making a new file called Mods and another one inside it called Packages. Then i put the package file in that folder and double click it. when i do it seems to start loading but the only thing that happens is the Sims 3 game launcher tab at the bottom flashing.



    does it matter if its in...

    C:\Users\Emma\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages

    instead of...

    C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages



    i also tried using the helper monkey, but i either the same thing happens or i get access denied.Help! Having trouble downloading sims 3 mods!?
    you dont open the .package file. launch the sims 3 and you should see the custom content in CAS. you are only supposed to open .sims3package files.Help! Having trouble downloading sims 3 mods!?
    yeah, I tried that too on my PS3 for the SW: TFU Jedi Temple add-on level, and it failed the first try.



    but I have it now, and it's actually just awesome!

    Problems With Sims 3 Mods?

    Yesterday, I started using mods for Sims 3 from modthesims.info. I followed the steps on http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php

    title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Pack鈥?added my .zip files, extracted those and they work fine on my game. I added .rar files to the Mods folder and they do not work. What should I do or put those under?Problems With Sims 3 Mods?
    You need to extract .rar files, too. http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?鈥?/a>

    Install this program, unzip your custom content and double click on the package file. It will move into right direction automatically. If you have sims3pack file it should be identified by your default sims 3 launcher.

    One problem can be with installing custom sims. Monkey won't place them into right location(at least for me). To make sims work, simply move the .sim file into

    C:\Documents and Settings\%26lt;user name%26gt;\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\SavedSims

    If you don't have that folder, create it and it should work.

    My sims 3 mods dont work anymore?

    Basically I downloaded the no-intro mod and the awesome mods for the sims 3, and they worked perfect. Then I download the pose player and pose packages for pose player and since then none of my mods show up on the game. I have not since uploaded any patches or updates and I'm really confused. The only thing that still works is the enable overstuffed houses aspect of the awesome mod. I seeeeriously dont get it, SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP :-( I want my mods back!?My sims 3 mods dont work anymore?
    Some of the aspects of your mods may have clashed and prevented the others from being active at all. Your best bet is to backup your saves, delete the mods (or even reinstall), and try only the ones which caused the issue. If they work, it means they clashed with your others. If they still don't work, it means those mods themselves are faulty, hence why your other mods stopped working!

    How do I install sims 3 mods?

    I use to download mods onto my sims 2 all the time, but now that I have sims 3 and also windows 7, I dont know how I do it.

    I usually go to this website here:



    http://www.modthesims.info/index.php?



    I just dont know how to install mods from this website onto my sims 3, and I also want to know if you can install sims 2 mods to sims 3 because I think that is why I cannot do it. Let me know if you get this figured out and are familiar with windows 7 please!How do I install sims 3 mods?
    Only Sims 3 mods will work with the Sims 3. Also make sure your mods have the same version number as your Sims game, this doesn't mean that wrong versions won't work all the time, but sometimes they won't.



    You're also going to want to use this program

    http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=344611

    (You'll have to make an account)



    Or if you're not going to do that, read this page

    http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Installing_Package_Files

    (This is a lot harder)



    Also install only a few mods at a time, then test your game. If something goes wrong you'll know what mod it was. Make sure your mods go only into "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages" if you're using Windows XP and if you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7 then use the installer.

    Ok update 1.7

    i removed my mods

    then corect me if i am wrong i re added them in this location (steps i did are as followed)



    . my computer

    . hard disc drives

    . program files

    . electronic arts

    . the sims 3

    . cut mods back in.



    After doing as the following mods dont work game freezes at load screens.

    now help me understand what i have to do to fix it so that mods work again?.



    Also what cache files do i delete because i may have to delete them again?.Sims 3 mods help? i need to get everything fixed?.?
    The mods go on "Mods"-%26gt; "Packages"-%26gt;"Hacks", these folders are on that The Sims 3 folder if you have the Monkey Installer.



    There is also the chance that your mods aren't compatible with the new patch, in that case you should see if there's a newer version available.

    Can this effect sims 3 mods, and getting them installed?

    So, I've been trying to install sims 3 mods for a few weeks, but have failed. I now thought I had everything set up right, but it still doesn't work. I tried to install everything several times, and I just found that I had two Mod folders, and resource.cfg things. Would that mess it up? One is under. FrameworkSetup.zip, then Mods, then inside that is Overrides, Packages, and Resource (recognized as a notepad, is that right?) In Packages there are two mods, the no intro one, and the no build sparkles one. they are both .package. Overrides is empty. In the other one, is Mods, straight from the sims 3 page, where FrameworkSetup.zip is also loacated. In Mods is Packages, and Resource (do I need .cfg I thought it was on it) inside packages are the same mods. Do I need to delete one and if so which one? Or is there anything else that may be the problem.Can this effect sims 3 mods, and getting them installed?
    Hello,



    What I recommend doing is starting over with your mods installation. I have a mods tutorial which can guide you step by step to getting it working properly. You may have a number of issues from improper coding in your resource file, wrong directories or incompatible mods. Make sure each mod is compatible with your current expansion pack (they will say this on the website you downloaded each mod from) and check out my tutorial. Hope this helps!

    Now, I'm having a bit of trouble with the nude mods/skins for my sims. The ones i've downloaded and put into the programs/electronic arts/the sims 3/mods/packages folder wont show in the game right. Also getting the sims to walk around nude it wont show the "Male" part while the sims wearing nude clothing.



    I'd just like to know if anyone out there that has theirs set up and working could copy and zip the packages folder with the working files and email them to me?

    I'm looking for male/female nude skins, male/female nude clothing, and any adult objects. That would be completely awesome. Thanks so much for reading.

    Also, any info on maybe to get some of the things that I have to work would be great.



    Ps, I don't have any updates installed. Its just the original The Sims 3 game with no updates. ((When I update it, the game stops working and wont verify)) So I have read that I have to put all my .package files in my "Programs" mods/Packages folder and not under "Mydocuments" mods/packages folder.Need help with The Sims 3 Adult mods?

    You'll need to set up some framework in your sims 3 folder before you can install the mod. Follow my simple guide here: http://scribblingsbyme.blogspot.com/p/tu鈥?/a>



    Once you've set that up. Install the mod in the same way you install the test mod in the guide (this will make sense once you've read through the guide, promise!)

    The sims 3 - Mods Problems?

    I've been having this problem for a long time now and I really really would like to know a way to fix it.



    when I originally installed the sims 3, in the folders, i had a mods and a packages folder

    I bought a new copy of the sims 3 and downloaded it onto my laptop and I didn't have a mods or packages folder

    so, I added them on my own,

    and afterwards I placed rar files in the mods folder,

    and checked to see if they showed up in game

    they didn't.



    And the rar files, rather than having the rar icons have an icon that looks like a piece of paper?



    help?The sims 3 - Mods Problems?
    You have to unrar the rar files before putting them in the mods folder. Use winzip to do that. Open the rar files with Winzip and they will become package files. In your mods folder, there should be a package folder and you have to put the files in it.

    For the cc to appear in your game, you will need the resource.cfg file.

    You can download it from here:

    http://simpedia.sims2cri.com/index.php?t鈥?/a>

    Put it in the mods folder.

    After you do that, the cc should appear in your game :)



    If you don't have Winzip installed on your computer, you can download it from here:

    Why won't any Sims 3 mods work on my computer?

    I have tried lots of different TeenTFB/Woohoo mods including Twoftmamas, and Twallans Woohooer, and none of them work. Its not just that type of mod, i downloaded the Awesome Mod and Bec's Adult Maternity Wear for Teens, and they don't work either! This is how I downloaded them..



    1) I found the mods i wanted to download online, and checked that none of them conflict with each other, and checked if any of them couldnt be downloaded to work with other XML mods or Core mods.

    2)I downloaded 7zip, to extract the files properly.

    3)I created the folders Mods (Computer%26gt;Bethany%26gt;My Documents%26gt;Electronic Arts%26gt;The Sims 3%26gt;Mods) and Packages (Computer%26gt;Bethany%26gt;My Documents%26gt;Electronic Arts%26gt;The Sims 3%26gt;Mods%26gt;Packages)

    4)In the Mods folder, i saved the Resource.cfg file.

    5)I deleted the files named 'CASpartCache', 'CompositorCache','scriptCache' and 'simCompositorCache'.

    6)I installed the mods into the packages folder i created the folders, and opened The Sims 3 Launchr and played the game.

    I totally agree with you--I've been looking a lot of places to find natural looking skintones for sims 3 and sims 2, etc, etc. If the mod or skin that you downloaded is a .package file, then go on Modthesims.info, because there is a mod (that i have for sims 3) that makes Sims 3 .package files actually appear in my game. I'm really sorry I can't provide the link, becuz I definently would, but for some reason my computer blocks it all of a sudden :( (stupid family safety). I really really hope i helped! :/ I hate censoring btw .

    *sorry for my rANdoM rambling*

    Most nude mods require an additional download to work. (I don't have any, so I don't know what it is specifically, just that you can't download only the .package file and have them work.)

    HOW CAN YOU PLAY SIMS 3 ON A MAC?!?!?!?! DID YOU UPGRADE TO LION?! I CANT PLAY ANYMORE :(



    Oh yeah haha and the mods don't work because you either upgraded your computer to Lion. This causes the Sims 3 mods to not work, custom content to not show up. And the game to freeze a lot. Now if you didn't upgrade your Mac to OS X Lion, you could of installed the mod incorrectly. When you do that, a little of the mod would show up, but not completely. Or the mod wouldn't show up and it causes the game to crash.

    Sims 3 Mods Question?

    I recently downloaded the Woohooer mod for the sims 3 and i set everything up right (I got the resource.cfg file and unzipped everything and all that) and my sims 3 game keeps crashing while loading up my family. I got the download files here http://www.the-isz.com/nraas/index.php?showtopic=918 and the story progession one that goes with it. I have no mods that conflict with it and I know that the mod is working. It shows up saying that it was found and i also have the nointro mod which works perfect. So why does it keep crashing?Sims 3 Mods Question?
    IMO the best place to get mods is at www.modthesims.com you should uninstall that mod because its bugging your game :S

    if you already use mod the sims then you didn't need me to tell you that....

    Good sims 3 mods????

    Does anyone know of good mods for sims 3 that change the body type of the sims to make the guy sims look more muscular and real looking? I'm sick of the flat and weird default bodies. Links please?Good sims 3 mods????
    When you create your own character you can do that on the same page that you create their name, I believe. You definitely can change the height and weight though. I've done it before I just can't remember what page it specifically was on. Also, if you want them to be more muscular, you can just have them exercise a ton. This actually changes their weight and makes them more muscular, but not in the default preset ways of the sims 2. If you want to make them gain weight, just have them eat the fattiest foods you can find and don't let them exercise. The sims 3 is much more realistic.Good sims 3 mods????
    three words.... MOD THE SIMS.... They have skins, body sliders, hacks and mostly any mod you need. (hence MOD the sims) They also have mods for sims 2. (you have to register to download) ps. ITS FREE!!



    Happy simming!

    Sims 3 mods & patch 1.6?

    I installed yesterday the new patch for the sims 3, 1.6. However at first when i went to play the game it crashed so i did what i thought and that was to cut mods out and put on my desktop. Game worked after that. But when mods was re-added it froze again. So without mods it works...hmm never was a problem untill just recently :(. So does anybody know how this problem can be resovled with mods still being able to be used with patch 1.6?. Because really without mods in the sims 3 the game is rather boring, mods just make it real :).Sims 3 mods %26amp; patch 1.6?
    always, always take out mods if you've updated... you need to delete the mod. I did deleted the framework just to be safe. All we need to do now is wait for an update that makes AM compatible

    Well... You see.. my sims 3 game freaked out so I had to uninstall and reinstall it. I know I did a clean install so please dont give me that... Anyway. I cant reinstall my mods on the game. Every time I right click and tell it to install to sims 3 (I have the helper monkey) a box pops up and says it couldnt find a directory to install too. People have said to create a mod folder but you see.. I cant.



    When I go into my C drive and go into program files and then into the Electronic Art folder.. There is no Sims 3 folder - but the game is fully installed I can play it its just mod-less right now. And for all of my Sims I need mods. They all have mod-hair. x3 I installed the game in the D drive though, but the D drive doesnt even have a "Program files" folder in it. Oo Where do I put the mods folder loves? :3

    Geeze, lol. Um, do you have a Program Files (86x)? Cuz that's were the game should be, and the mods folder is in there as well...



    If you can't find Electronic Arts (Not to be confused with the old EA) search your entire C drive for Sims 3 or even search for resource.cfg since that's in the game's folder in order to download mods.

    Mods are basically things you download into your game to make your game more fun. For example, I believe they have a mod where your teenage sims can get pregnant. It basically adds things to your game that you can't do normally without the mods.

    Sims 3 mods problem..?

    My sims 3 game was crashing, so I went to the support page for sims 3, they told me to reinstall the game. I did, it started working, but then said I had unsupported mods. So I went to my mods, updated all of them, it still said that. I removed them, still said that. I told them that, and they said sims 3 doesn't support third party mods. I don't want to sound dumb, but are third-party mods the mods you download from other sites, because I don't know where else you can get mods. Does this mean all the mods I downloaded from MTS can't work now? Here's the conversation we had:

    Hi, my name is EARepAustin. How may I help you?

    2320506207: Hello, when I talked to one of the other people on here sometime ago, my game kept crashing, so they told me to uninstall, then re-install. Now its working since I did that, but I can

    2320506207: can't*

    2320506207: play my game since it says I need to update one of my mods, even though they all are.

    2320506207: When I removed all my mods afterwards, the message still popped up.

    EARepAustin: could you provide me the error message ?

    2320506207: When I start my game, it says this: "It looks like you have installed an unofficial game modification that does not meet your current version of The Sims 3. We recommend you either uninstall these game modifications or get updated versions of them - otherwise you may experience crashes or significant bugs. Do you want to quit?" Then it gives me the option to quit or continue the game.

    EARepAustin: okay

    EARepAustin: have you installed the generation ?

    2320506207: I don't have Generations, but I have the new update.

    EARepAustin: Okay

    EARepAustin: which expansion do you've?

    EARepAustin: along with the base game the sims 33

    2320506207: I have Ambitions and Late Night.

    EARepAustin: Okay

    EARepAustin: It seems that there is some problem with patch installation.

    EARepAustin: have you manually uninstalled and reinstalled the game with correct patch ?

    2320506207: yes

    EARepAustin: have you installed any third party mode ingame ?

    2320506207: yes

    EARepAustin: I would suggest you to uninstall completely remove the third pary modes from the game.

    EARepAustin: and and then see if the game works

    EARepAustin: We can not support third party modes.Sims 3 mods problem..?
    Yes third party mods are any mods made by people other than the company itself, so anything you download from places like MTS is a third party mod.

    It does sound like your game is having an issue with one of the mods, so instead of updating them, take them all out for now, anything you have downloaded and added to your game. Then start your game again and see if it works. If it doesn't, you can go back to the customer service people and ask them for help now you have no mods, if it 'does' work with no mods, it means one (or more) of them is causing a problem.

    Now you'll need to find which one(s) are giving you the crash, so add one of them back, try the game again and see if it's ok. Keep doing this until one by one until you find the one that makes it crash, then you wil have your culprit.

    As for supporting the mods, EA have never 'supported' them, basically because there are so many they couldn't possibly. This doesn't mean you can't use mods, it just means if stuff breaks, they will always blame mods before they admit it's their fault heh. So if you really have a problem with a game then removing all the mods takes away their get out 'oh it must be a mod, it's not our problem' answer and they have to work out why you broke.Sims 3 mods problem..?
    That happened to me too... I had to completely reinstall all of my Sims 3 games after the launcher stopped working, and now because I have AwesomeMod installed I get the same error and option to continue or quit.

    It used to let me click continue and go back to playing, but now it won't let me load a neighbourhood.



    Maybe EA have had enough of mods?

    Are Sims 3 mods dangerous?

    So Im researching sims 3 mods because I've never done one and im interested in one that has teenage pregnancy and i read another one you can play game without the disk... But im also nervous about installing this wrong or accidently getting a virus or even hurting the game, any opinions?Are Sims 3 mods dangerous?
    Most are harmless. The items you're referring to are completely different. A crack to play the game without the disc is not a mod. The Inteenimater mod does cause problems. It's a very invasive mod that changes a lot and does cause serious problems. I wouldn't download it if I were you.Are Sims 3 mods dangerous?
    mods can be dangerous for your computer, with virus's and malware, but simply scanning the file for virus's and putting up your firewall usually does the trick - as well as avoiding bad looking sites lol.



    i have many mods for sims, and they usually work perfectly well, there is just the odd one that adds a virus that is very easily removed.Are Sims 3 mods dangerous?
    Mods are not dangerous, it just changes the game, and crack doesn't effect the game, it allow you to play without the disk, so crack is not dangerous, but some crack files might have viruses, but it won't really affect your computer if you have a virus detector. But most of the crack files dont have virus
    well mods themselves don't have anything inherently dangerious in them, they just change how the game works, from changing how things look, to changing rules like the pregnancy limit you mentioned. the crack though is consider wrong to use, and it's common for the sites that claim to offer cracks actually contain viruses.

    Most sites don't use .sims3pack file downloads, they use .package files because they're compressed and quicker to upload and download. To install those files you're going to need to set up the framework before they'll work, as they don't install in the same way sims3pack files do :)

    Why my Sims 3 MODS wont work?

    Hey.



    I downloaded a sims 3 mod, extracted it using Winzip and placed it in Documents%26gt;Electronic Arts%26gt;The Sims 3%26gt;Mods%26gt;Packages



    That didn't work.. so I then put it in Documents%26gt;Electronic Arts%26gt;The Sims 3%26gt; Tunable Core Configuarion



    Please can anyone give me a step by step guide of how to get it to work?? Best answer 10 pointsWhy my Sims 3 MODS wont work?
    You need a resource.cfg file to tell The Sims 3 to even look for the mod. Do you have resource.cfg appropriately placed? If not, download Monkey Bars Framework Installer from modthesims.info and it will do everything for you.



    How many mods are you running? Some mods can come in conflict with one another and cause one, or both to cease to function. For example, only one mesh can be active at a time. If you have more than one running, you have a problem.



    Are you sure the mod is a good one? I'm running over 1000 mods on my game (takes over 10 minutes to load initially) and every one shows up fine because a) my framework is installed correctly, and b) they are all batch tested to insure compatibility.



    What type of file is your mod? Is it a sims3pack or a package file? Package files do not need to be unzipped, and are simply placed in the mods folder, where as sims3packs need to be converted, not unzipped. Again, the conversion program is available on modthesims.info.



    One last thing you could check is that your game is fully updated BEFORE you install the mod, and that you have all the necessary expansions for the mod to work. It's important you fully update before you install mods, otherwise the installer will find an unrecognized file and refuse to continue.

    Twallan's NRraas mods are essential, especially the story progression mod. It replaces EA's horrible Story Progression (which makes inactive sims get jobs, get married, and live their lives without your intervention) with a new and improved one that you can tweak to your liking. It adds all sorts of fun aspects to your game and gives a whole new life to your inactive sims. It also has the option to give you a notification whenever something significant happens in your neighborhood.



    He also has lots of other mods on his site, all of which are well-tested with minimal bugs. He really listens to those who use his mods and takes feedback well. He's an all-around nice, talented guy. His mods are the only ones I use now.

    When you download mods from a site, you want to put them into your Sims 3/Mods/Package folder. If you have installed the Installer Monkey, all you need to do is right click on the file after unzipping it then put it into the Hacks folder. If you think your mods aren't working, try going to Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 3/ and delete the script cache folder there. Then try running the game. From Simbology the mods there should work as long as they are in your Sims 3/Mods/Packages folder.

    Most downloads from thesimsresource come in .sims3pack format - if you have those files, they need to go in your downloads folder (Documents%26gt; Electronic Arts%26gt; The Sims 3%26gt; Downloads) not your packages folder. They should then all appear in the launcher for you to install. Only .package files go in the Packages folder :)

    You also need a file called Resource.cfg, it should be placed in the same place as your mods (documents%26gt;electronic arts%26gt;sims 3%26gt;mods). You'll find it here: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=342820

    Do Sims 3 Mods have negative effects on your computer's performance/safety?

    I'm interested in "customizing" my game and I read up on Mods, but I'm not sure if it's safe with all the downloading and such. So if you have any advice (or warnings) please let me know!Do Sims 3 Mods have negative effects on your computer's performance/safety?
    As long as they are downloaded from reputable site such as modthesims.info then you won't have a problem there. And make sure that each mod is compatible with your current sims version (the latest available is 1.24)

    You will need to get MonkeyBars which installs the necessary mod framework to the game. Then you will need to extract the mod packages to Local Disk/Users/%26lt;your username%26gt;/Documents/The Sims 3 and create a new folder called ModsSome help with sims 3 mods? Full points to best answer(:?

    You need a programme to "unzip" zipped folders, like WinRAR, ( http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR/3000-225鈥?/a> ) and once that's installed, 'save' any zipped mods (or other CC) to your desktop, then right-click them and go 'Extract Here'. Any files that appear should be dragged into your C: drive %26gt; Program Files %26gt; Electronic Arts %26gt; Sims 3 %26gt; Mods %26gt; Packages folder.

    For some reason every time i tried to use the monkey installer it never worked for me. So i put the package into the file manually and then it normally works. Try to do it this way and it should work.

    Why don't some of my sims 3 mods work?

    I have the sims 3 base game and the mods that dont work are the ones that have been saved rather than opened first.I saved them because I have no idea how else to get them to work. I dont know what to do about this so any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you :)Why don't some of my sims 3 mods work?
    1st You CAN'T open a mod file which i guess it's a .package file for the sims 3, in able to make the mods work you have to create a file in your sims 3 directory called "Mods" then in this folder create another one called "Packages" in which you place the mods.Don't forget that you have to download the ressource.cfg file to make the mods work, you can download it from google.



    If you've done all these steps and the mods still don't work the files you've downloaded may be corrupted.

    You can download amazing cars in .sims3pack format at http://www.freshprincecreations.com/

    Looking for certain Sims 3 Mods?

    Hi, I've recently purchased Sims 3 and all of the expansions and I still feel like so much is missing. I noticed on websites, pictures of Sims with Abs and bigger hips/breasts and more detail bodys for females and males. I have yet to find any of these mods on the websites around so can somebody please show me where to get these mods? Thanks.Looking for certain Sims 3 Mods?
    ModTheSims.info is where you find these, you have to sign up a account to download them. Let me give you the link to the sliders that your talking about: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=37鈥?/a>

    How do you install The Sims 3 character mods?

    I just downloaded a Sims 3 character for The Sims 3 and when I loaded and try to play as the character the sims 3 stopped working? What did i do wrong? do i need to download some files?How do you install The Sims 3 character mods?
    It might be a glitch with the character you downloaded, or the character could be for a different update to the one you have. If you're not at the latest patch it's probably a good idea to update, and if you're already there it might be that your sim is for a previous patch. Either way, there's not a whole lot that you can do about it.



    The other option is that the sim is in package format and you installed it incorrectly - although as far as I know, this doesn't end up doing what you're talking about. It's probably a good idea to check anyway. There's a guide at modthesims.

    (http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?titl鈥?/a>



    If it's a sims3pack format then you really can't go wrong with downloading it, so the character is simply flawed or not suited to your patch level.

    Some of the Sims 3 mods aren't showing up?

    I have already got many working mods on my computer.

    Yesterday i downloaded three more and they don't show up at all.

    I have already tried downloading them a second time. They were Hairs.

    I haven't re-named them.

    My game has the latest update and i only have one expansion pack - Late Night



    Any ideas? :)

    Thanks in advancce.Some of the Sims 3 mods aren't showing up?
    It might be what type of file they are. In order to work, the files must be PACKAGE files. If they are RAR files, which they often are, they will not work. To get RAR files to work, you need this program: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip鈥?/a>

    Once this program is done downloading, search your computer for something called 7-Zip file manager. Once you get into the file manager, select the files you want, and extract them into your Packages file.



    If you need more details or you have some questions, please feel free to contact me!

    How do you get mods to work in the sims 3?

    Why won't my Sims 3 Mods work?

    I've read lots of guides, and i've got a folder called Mods in my sims 3 folder, and a folder called packages inside that one, and ive got resources.cfg saved in the Mods folder, but no matter which mods i try, none of them work. They all save properly in the packages folder but when i open the game nothing has changed..

    I've checked and double checked and i cant work it :(





    Please help? XWhy won't my Sims 3 Mods work?
    I know you said you've done this, but I am going to go through step-by-step so we can rule out mistakes.



    In the folder: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3



    You should have made a folder called Mods

    Inside this folder should be five more folders and the Resource.cfg (Capital R no s on the end)

    The folders should be (spelling and capitalisation is important)

    DCCache

    Files

    Packages

    Probation

    Test



    Open the Resource file and make sure the contents of the file are as shown below:



    Priority 501

    DirectoryFiles Files/... autoupdate

    Priority 500

    PackedFile DCCache/*.dbc

    PackedFile Packages/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*.package

    PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package

    Priority 499

    PackedFile Test/*.package

    Priority -50

    PackedFile Probation/*.package





    Unless stated otherwise by the mod creator, all mod .package files should go in the Packages folder.





    Once you have put your mods in the appropriate places delete the following files from the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 folder.



    CASPartCache

    compositorCache

    scriptCache

    simCompositorCache



    These are (as you can probably guess) the cached files that are used when you start the game, if you don't delete these the game may run the cached versions and ignore your new mods or custom content package files in the Mods folder.



    Any time that you add a new file in the mods folder (or remove one) you should always delete those four files. Star your sims and your mods should now be working.



    Always make sure that your mods are made for your current patch version of the game. Mods that are made for older games can damage your saved games if used.Why won't my Sims 3 Mods work?
    I don't know if this will help but in sims 2 it asked you if you wanted to enable mod content I haven't got sims 3 personally but I wonder if it has any check boxes or anything that are the same or similar sometimes you can check them and it says you haven't if this is the case just restart the game and tick the boxes they should be permanently ticked...
