Hello, have not posted here but saying hi. I have a sims 3 and 4 site/blogs open. I switch between the 2 every sim week.. I am on week 2 on them. I am a terrible builder but unable to download any lots into the game. Not sure why. They show up on my pc downloads but wont get into the game.
I don't know if you've moved them but going to assume since you said they are in your "pc downloads" folder it means you haven't moved them to the appropriate Sims folder. In order to have these items appear in your game, you will need to insert them into either the downloads folder of the Sims (for S3 packages) or create a mods folder (for packages). **Note: These instructions are for Sims 3 as I don't play Sims 4, I can only guess the same pathing/instructions would work for Sims 4. Also, I'm on a Win10 machine so the pathing will be just slightly different.**
Once you've downloaded an item do the following:
For Sims 3 Packs:
1: Navigate to your downloads folder.
2: Locate and cut the file out of your downloads folder.
3. Navigate to your Sims 3 downloads folder. The path will be something like: C:\Users\Name of your PC folder\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads
4. Paste the file inside the downloads folder.
5. Load the game launcher and install (or load CCM and re-organize).
For packages:
1: Navigate to your downloads folder.
2: Locate and cut the file out of your downloads folder.
3. Navigate to your Sims 3 Mods folder. (You will actually have to create this in the main Sims 3 folder).
The path will be: C:\Users\Name of your PC folder\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 (and then add the Mods folder).
4. Create a "Packages" folder within the "Mods" folder.
5. Paste the file inside the packages folder.
6. Load your game and you should be able to locate your items in-game.
**Note: For the Mods folder to work correctly, you will need to download and place in it the "Resource.cfg" file.**
**Note 2: For the Mods folder, it's advisable to have CCM to help you better arrange your downloads or create **
I forgot about his thread haha I posted a new chapter for TIDL a few days ago. If anyone still remembers it, then maybe you'll enjoy that it has a new chapter XD Click the pic to be brought to the newest chapter, or click on the picture in my signature to go to the TIDL wordpress
Hiya everyone, I hope you're all doing good or otherwise fantastic My apologies for not frequenting here more often. I'm still working on content, be it not as fast as I have been or could be perhaps. I'm working on the usual stuff, though it's going slow and will take me more time to do it the way I want to. But new things are also on the horizon. If you follow me in the in-game Sims 4 Gallery, you might already guess what I've been up to
Today the honeymoon AND a special announcement at the end of the honeymoon pics. Are you #teammike or #teambruno or even #teamboth then this story has something for you!
