    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    I swear there is no game data in my program files. I have looked and looked in both the program files and in program files (x86). Help! Anything that has to do with sims is in my documents folder, but there is no game data in there. Any ideas on where it would be?

      Are you sure you're looking in the right place? Are you looking in program files in general? Or Program files - Electronic Arts - The Sims 3

      why are you looking in program files if i might ask?

      because if you are looking to install cc or something like that, you would need to put these things in my documents, not program files

      I have to find my game data so i can get to some fullbuild0.package so i can use it to make poses. The directions are as follow:

      "C:->ProgramsFiles->Electronic Arts->The Sims 3". Once there open the fullbuild0.package found at "GameData->Shared->Packages".

      I can't find the game data folder.

      Are you looking in the correct place? Where your files are located depends on if you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system for CD/DVD installs. If you're running from DD it would be in the Origin Games folder based on the prior statement.

      For your game data files/folders like downloads, exports, screenshots, saves, etc - you need to go to "my documents" then "electronic arts" then "the sims 3"
