Please note that the Resource.cfg file is NOT in your Packages folder, it is in your Mods folder. After you download it, move the resource file to My Documents>Electronic Arts>The sims 3>Mods folder. Sims 3 cannot read custom content without YOU adding a file telling it how to do so. My Documents>Electronic Arts>The sims 3>Mods>Packages So now you should have 2 new folders: Mods and inside of Mods, Packages. Change the name of this second folder to “Packages” Click and open your new folder Mods and repeat the step above, File>New>Folder. While in the The Sims 3 folder, go to the top left corner and click on the menu “File”, then “New”, then “Folder”:Ĭhange the name of the “New Folder” to “Mods”. Go to My Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3.
I am going over package files only for now.
You need to know how to unzip zipped files as well, since a lot of CC comes zipped. This is a very BASIC how to install custom content guide in Sims 3.įor more detailed instructions please go to Mod the Sims or Google “How to install Custom Content Sims 3” I have noticed a lot of questions about how to install custom content.
