Creating a Mods Folder/Installing Mods Step by Step Guide Edited: May.14.2017 You don't need WinRAR or 7-zip to actually download any game mods or CC. Go to CC or mod site of choice and download the file to your computer from there. Mac users can try. Windows has a zip program built into it that can be used to unzip any mod or CC files. This is a step by step guide into creating a Mods Folder, for anyone who has never used mods before and doesn't know where to start. The mods folder has to go into your sims 3 folder in documents. Not the Games or Program Files (x86) folder.

C: Programs Electronic Arts; C: Programs Origin Games for the Download Version through Origin. Contents ->Resources ->transgaming ->c_drive ->Program Files ->Electronic Arts. Every expansion/ stuff pack has it's own folder withing this installation folder. Base Game: [installation folder] Sims. World Adventure:. The game also generates a file called 'ccmerged' in this folder, when you install premium content from The Sims 3 Store. Do NOT delete this file. If you do so. There is no need to do so. You can take the files out of here and use them for other purposes, including putting them into the Downloads folder of another game.

Hi jeamariesx3, it was very good of you to start this thread. As soembody else has pointed out, you can also just go here: and download the framework.zip, then move that.zip file to your The Sims 3 folder and extract it there.

I only mention this because the resource.cfg document in that framework.zip is the most recent, and includes framework for the Overrides folder. This is important as some mods require correct use of the overrides folder to function properly. Using the resource.cfg you've linked, people will have to edit the file themselves which can be confusing. I hope you don't think I am criticizing you, it is not my intention. The resource.cfg at ModTheSims is simply more robust. The overrides folder has a higher priority, and in some cases mods will need to be placed there so that they are loaded with the proper priority. This applies, for example, when someone is using Awesomemod but also wants to use Nraas PortraitPanel.

In that case, Nraas PortraitPanel should be placed in the Overrides folder. Using the overrides folder is not necessary for everyone and is somewhat 'advanced' (but not really, it's very simple to use!). Nevertheless, having the resource.cfg properly set up so that it recognizes the overrides folder anyhow is good. If someone comes across a mod which requires the use of the Overrides folder they may be very confused and frustrated if they can't properly edit or set up their resource.cfg. I just installed the Mods folder! (Excuse the excitement, it's my first time doing this). A couple of things: I did have to download 7-zip to my computer.

Also, I used the modthesims link up above. It suggested placing the framework.zip folder in The Sims 3 file, but when I did that and extracted the files, they stayed in the folder. I moved it to my desktop, then moved the mods folder in, which contained the overrides folder, the packages folder, and the resource folder.

Anyway -- on to Master Controller.
