Hi, the mods I download automatically become the other file type with the sims 3 icon. This is really annoying because I have no option to extract the files and almost every installation guide tells me to extract the files. Now I tried to download a world and I think you can’t install those with the launcher so my question is: how can I make sure my file turns into the 1st file when downloading it? I’m sorry if my question is a little bit confusing, I’m not good with these things and I really don’t know what to do anymore because it’s almost like I’m the only one with this problem. Hi Laure, No it’s not a confusing question since the files related to Sims 3 is kind of hard to understand. The package file with the Sims 3 icon means that it should be installed via the launcher regardless whatever the mod is.
Even if it’s a world there should be no problems. Also there is no need of extraction regardless to such files. In my article above it talks about winrar. If your mod is downloaded with that winrar icon then you need to extract it and most of the time package files without the sims 3 icon is in it.
How to Install a Mod If you’ve ever played a Sims game, you probably know there’s a huge and fantastically talented fan community out there that loves to create mods to improve and customize our games. Is no exception, and even in the short time it’s been out the mod community has been hard at work releasing a number of mods.
There is a little bit of prep work required, however, to get them installed and working. First of all, to maximize the chances of your mods working correctly, make sure your game is updated with the latest patch.
Next, you’ll need to create two new folders. The first will be named “Mods” and go in your Sims Medieval installation folder. For most people, this will be: C: Program Files Electronic Arts The Sims Medieval. The second folder will go inside the “Mods” folder you just created, and be named “Packages.”. Next you’ll need to add a file called resources.cfg to your Sims Medieval installation folder. It’s essentially just a text file letting your game know where your mod files are.
Several Sims community sites have this available for download. Sims3Cri has a copy uploaded. Most mods should now work simply by putting their.package files into your new packages folder.
Make sure to read any instructions provided by the mod’s creator carefully, in case other steps are needed. If something unexpected happens in your game, uninstalling a mod is usually as simple as deleting the files that were added during installation.
