i dont understand how to do the downloading plz help me

Which part of the instructions don't you understand?

all of it cause i cant find what yall r talking about in my computer

Ok, well the first step is "Get a rar extractor", which has nothing to do with finding anything on your computer. So pleased tell us what you are actually stuck on.

Sims 3:Installing Package Files#Detailed_Instructions^wiki

I have that already, im stuck on the part where it say Navigate to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 This is the main folder for The Sims 3, called the "root folder". I cant find that folder

The Sims 3 is the root folder. There is no folder named "root folder".

Just open My Documents, and paste that into the bar at the top that says "My Documents" (like the url bar in an internet browser). If you don't see that bar, go to My Computer, go into C:, go into Program Files etc.

i did that but it is not working

Is your machine running XP or Vista? Vista should be.....

C:\Program Files(x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3

If you aren't running Vista, exactly where are you getting stuck?

What's not working? What happens when you try?

i put the file inC:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 This is the main folder for The Sims 3, called the "root folder but my downloads isnt working

You did download and install the resource.cfg file as outlined in the tutorial? You did 'extract' the contents...right?

so it goes in the tutorial and i did extract it

but i dont see the tutorial in the the sims 3 folder sorry

Ok, so you've put the resource.cfg in the right place... have you actually got any custom content in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages?

do i need to make the folder or what

Well I dunno. Is it there already? If so, probably not. But you do need to put something in it.

My best explanation of how to use the custom content:
STEPS
1- Go to: Program Files> Electronic Arts> The Sims 3
2- In "The Sims 3" folder create a new folder named "Mods"
3- Open the new "Mods" folder
4- In the "Mods" folder, create a new folder called "Packages"
5- When you down load files, find the files with "packages" at the end and place them in the "Packages" folder.
6- Download the "Resource.cfg" file available at: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=342820
7- Place the "Resource.cfg" file into Program Files> Electronic Arts> The Sim 3

Start the game and see if it works! If not, make sure you followed the steps.

Yep, the OP has read that already, and apparently not understood it.

The folder name is "Mods" not "Mod" btw. That little "s" on the end makes all the difference in making it work or not.

well for some reason my folder does not have a tutorial folder so what do i do and yes i have something in my mods/packages folder

I believe the sentence "You did download and install the resource.cfg file as outlined in the tutorial?" is meant to be parsed as

"Did you download and install the resource.cfg – the way it is outlined in the tutorial?"

and not

"Did you download and install the resource.cfg into the tutorial, as outlined?"


In other words, your search for a "tutorial folder" may be in vain.

HystericalParoxysm- Thnx! I fixed it.


OP- You do not need a "tutorial folder".

Hey try it with the "s" now. ^_^ Sorry about that. I typed in too much haste.
