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.

From what ive been told Monkey bar no longer works since the game was updated. No the less I have been trying to get mods to work and cant all i have not added is the resource.cfg because I cant find any for windows 7.
