Mastercontroller???
I cant seem to get mastercontroller to work on the sims 3. Maybe i'm missed something, maybe i don't even know what version to get. I try to get base-mod, but it just doesn't appear in the game. I want to be able to have more than six pets, partly because i want to have a warrior cats challenge which is probably really difficult. I dont even know if you are still able to make a warrior cats challenge or whatever in 2021. PLS tell me whats going on and how to just get the master controller and how to be able to get more than six pets!! Pls help :C

Support for NRaas mod generally is provided at NRaas.

How to install mods and other forms of package based content generally:
https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files

Where to get the MasterController base mod. There is only one current version, the other downloads on this page are optional add-on modules:
http://www.nraas.net/community/MasterController

The options setting you want, on City Hall or an in-game computer:
NRaas > MC > Settings > Allow More Than Eight (this also lifts the limit on pets)

That MC setting only applies to MC commands like Instant Baby, Pollinate, and Add Sim. To play with overstuffed houses, whether the overstuffing is by way of animals or humans, there are other mods involved:

Wonder if he/she ever figured this out, i just had an issue trying to fix animations loading for sequences, when i downloaded the package it had a version of resourceconfig included that i hit overwrite on because i missed it in the file package, this broke my game until i tracked it down by mining the issue out.

Once i ditched the config file entirely and downloaded the framework folder fresh it went away, this game can be crabby at times,^^, for me Nraas quit working altogether, that file overwrite was the issue.

You have always been there for people man, modding Skyrim taught me under fire how to troubleshoot a lot of these things, anyway thank you for all the time you have spent freely helping others.^^

I just installed this one for the first time a couple of days ago and didn't have an issue.

Thanks for the kind words, but the real heroes are the mod developers. I'm just support staff. :)

For any modules you need the base MC mod.
Also you need to make folders if they do not exist in the sims 3 folder in documents. Since this is a script mod you need a Packages sub-folder too inside a Mods folder you may have to create inside that directory.
I find MC installation to be straight forward enough and mod works as intended.
Also check if you have resource.cfg file (if not search the web for one from a trusty source) inside the Mods folder.
I would also make an Overrides folder just to be safe.
Now to install the mod itself drop the zip file inside the Mods folder (it will help if you also want to download Nraas Mod Updater, which requires access to the zip files).
Install the .package file inside the zip file in the Packages sub-folder you created.
If you done this correctly you should have the mod working as intended.

Hope it helps :)

I am afraid this is outdated information for now. The NRaas Mod Updater has not worked since Wikispaces went out of business over two years ago. It was very Wikispaces specific, which when it was active was a very unusual environment to work with. We have not yet reprogrammed the Updater to work with our new site at www.nraas.net, partially because the developer who made the Updater program wasn't interested in continuing the project. In the meantime, NRaas mods can be kept up to date by just comparing the version numbers and watching for new releases.

Update: Yes I saw that now. Thanks for the information. I still have a copy of that software and I could still open it. Anyway I always keep the zip files anyway (habbit, I guess)

The NRaas Mod Updater cannot possibly function. Maybe it appears to do so on your end in some ways? The website it is programmed to check for new versions against no longer exists and has not done so since October 2019. Wikispaces is kaput, it changed ownership and the new owners shut it down. That's why we had to move to our new website.

I have been "on staff," helping to run NRaas as an Organizer/Moderator for coming up on seven years now. The Mod Updater is not meant to be available for download and no versions of it in existence can actually do anything helpful currently.

Here is the current release list of our mods. You can see that we haven't had any full new version releases for a while.
http://www.nraas.net/community/Update-History

Reflecting more recent work, there are many others on their way through beta testing that we expect to fully release in the near future.

I think yes as I can still open the Nraas Mod Updater but have not tested its functionality fully. I get lots of errors on it though which I assume may be related to that exact thing you described. My installed Mods will show on it but in a buggy way too (MC has a ? on the version tab, for example)
