How and where do I download Nraas Master Controller for Sims 3

WesselGordon

Hi everyone

I upgraded my computer for a better Sims 3-experience but in the process Nraas Master Controller and Overwatch got deleted. I've been trying to download it again but with no success. Downloading it isn't the problem, my problem is that I can't remember where to unzip Nraas to...I'll try and give a step-by-step breakdown of where I tried to unzip it so feel free to point out any blatant errors I'm making.

1, Download Nraas Master Controller to desktop;
2. Unzip using Win-zip or 7-zip;
3. Create a Mods-folder in ''Electronic Arts, The Sims 3'';
4. Create a Package folder under "Mods'' created in step 3;
5. Cut/Copy and paste the unzipped Nraas file to ''Packages"
6. Delete all folders/files with the name "cache'' in it

If Win-zip or 7-Zip doesn't work in this case which unzipper should I use?

As you'll notice I did manage to unzip and install Nraas Master Controller and Overwatch successfully in the past but I simply can't remember how I managed it.

You appear to be missing a step here and it's not about downloading or unzipping methods since all of those should work fine. All TS3 mods are package based content. In order to be recognized by the game, such content requires the Framework you have partially described -- a Mods folder, and a Packages folder inside that holds the content. But there is also a required file called Resource.cfg that must be in Mods alongside (not inside!) the Packages folder for all of this to work.

This is how we advise most players to set up their Framework since it's all arranged for them and it includes two small sample mods for testing:

Or you could grab the Resource.cfg file as a standalone from here and put it in the right place (in Mods, outside of Packages):
http://nraas.wikispaces.com/file/detail/Resource.zip
(it's the exact same file that is in the MTS Framework linked to above)

Thanks a lot for the help. ''Technophobe'' is definitely one of my traits in real life.
