Package files not opening in WinRar

I installed Windows 10 and I had no problems for awhile. Now every time I download a package file to install, it tells me it is corrupted and won't open. Any tips?

That's because you're doing it wrong.
(And note: if you download a sim or a lot, they always come compressed, and you extract the contents into Tray rather than Mods. Only "regular" CC (hair, clothing, objects, walls, floors, etc) get put into Mods.)

Hello @jimjjf
Try checking to see if the mods folder may be in One Drive . If it is, it would be best to unsync Sims 4 and One Drive as it can causes issues.

i have sort of the same problem, i opened the file by accident using notepad, and now all the files open by it, if i re download them its still notepad, is there any way to reverse that?
The package files sound like they have now been associated with notepad by mistake. You could try bringing it back to an unknown file association, then download another cc item that is a package item and it then may fix itself up.
This link explains how to make it have an unknown association.

Hello @SimsieSims .
Try putting the files directly into the mods folder.
With script mods, they can’t be more than one folder level down in your mods folder. You need to place the script mods either directly into the mods folder, or only in one level/folder in the mods folder.
For example, with the MCCC mod you can have
Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 -mods-MCCC
But you can’t have Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 -mods- Script mods- MCCC
