How to install mods and custom content.

Step 1:
Under the start up menu, Go to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

Step 2:
When you open the folder, see if you have a folder inside named "Mods". If you don't see a folder named "Mods", then create a new folder and name it "Mods."

(If the "Mods" folder was already inside "The Sims 3" Folder and you didn't have to create a folder named "Mods" then skip step 3 and step 4 and move on to step 5 otherwise continue with step 3)

Step 3:
Under that folder, create another new folder, and name it "Packages." This is where you download your Sims3package files.
Step 4:
You will need to download the Resource cfg file. This can be downloaded from http://skuld.modthesims.info/Resource.cfg Once you have downloaded this file copy the file and paste it in the "Mods" folder.

Step 5: Installing Mods:
On the website, you are downloading the mods from, right click the rar or zip files and select "Save Target As..." These files go into the Packages folder. Open the Package folder, and extract the file.

To extract the Sims3package files:
Windows Users:You will need to install 7-Zip or Winrar. I personally recommend WinRar.
Mac Users: You will need to install Keka for extracting files.

I hope my step by step guide, has helped you. If you're planning on deciding which mods are best for you, be sure to do your homework, before you know what you're getting into.

Another thing, you don't actually need to pay for it. It literally lets you close out of the window and continue doing what you were doing.

I've never had a corruption problem with winrar.

[Microsoft Outlook 2003]

why do you recommend winrar, a non-free application that corrupts files, over 7zip, a completely free application with better archive format support, less corruption, and a better default compression format?
