Side Mouse Buttons Change Floors (Forward and Backward buttons)
• This mod This mod (program) adds the ability to use the side mouse buttons to change floors in all Sims games.
UPDATE - 24.09.2023 added different .exe file that don't work unless game with "The Sims.*exe" in name is open.
Usage guide
• Inside the.zip archive there is a file you need to run in order for the mod to work.
If you play in full-screen mode, you must run the program as an administrator, but if in windowed or borderless mode, the program can be run without admin privileges.
• You can also suspend, pause or exit this program. To do so, click "Show hidden icons" arrow on taskbar, and rightclick on plumbob icon.
• You can also try second version of this mod which don't work unless you have Sims game running. This don't work on my laptop, but works perfectly fine on my PC so try both - I reccomend V2.
Tip
If you want this program to run automaticaly after you log in:
• Click Win+R
• Type: shell:startup
• Drag and drop extracted .exe file into file explorer window
Tech stuff
• This is compiled AutoHotkey script (.ahk) you can create one by yourself, and then convert it into executable just like I did.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
