If you don't find a second The Sims 3 documents folder on your computer, open your launcher and go to installed content and make sure the run without custom content box there isn't ticked. I may not be the best person to address the easiest/best way to accomplish it, but I'm sure someone else better equipped to handle it will be along shortly to help out. If so, then you would obviously need to do some combining/moving to get everything in the right place. You can also check to see if your saved games and recent downloads are in the second folder that's presumably in a different place just by looking in the Saves and Downloads folders. Take a look at where that second file is located also. If you have two folders, you can check the dates/times on both folders to have an idea of what your game is using.

I've been searching file names in Windows 10 by just opening up File Explorer and typing in the name in the search box at the top right. Hi If there is another "The Sims 3" folder on your computer, you should be able to find it by doing a search for that file name. That doesn't make any difference to the game, it's just what the files look like to the user when listed. You don't have to keep the two sample mods if you don't want them.Īs for what file names look like, if you have Windows set to hide file extensions then Resource.cfg will look like Resource.

If you startup the game, is the startup movie suppressed? If so, then you have a working Mods folder. The file structure should look just like the illustrations. The download includes Mods, Packages, Overrides, and Resource.cfg all in the right places for you plus two sample mods already in Packages, NoStartupMovie and NoBuildSparkles. Extract it (unzip) and place the Mods folder in its entirety into your new game folder. Test it by starting and saving a new game to make sure it's working as it should.ĭownload the mods framework from here. Launch the game, and it should spawn a new TS3 user game folder in Documents. I suggest that you pull out your entire user TS3 game folder in Documents out to the Desktop and declare it a loss, but keep it there so the content (and saved games, if any) can be moved back into what will be a new game folder. Program Files is where the game program installs go, the user game folder in Documents is what as players work with.

Could that be the problem? I'm really hopeless, I have gone through so many help discussions but nothing seems to work for - No, the fact that you have an Origin install doesn't make any difference and the game doesn't need to be reinstalled, this all has to do with how the user game folder in Documents works. But also weirdly, the packages seem to be extracting themselves. But the more detailed file name seems to be as.
Or is the resource not working? It never saves it as "Resource.cfg", only as "resource". Could that be the reason? It has some files it uses in Program Files too (but I have places my cc in the right place, not program files). I have got them to work before when I used the sims 3 discs, but as my computer cant take any discs right now, I downloaded my games from Origin. (all with right names, I have checked multiple times). I have the mods folder, the resource.cfg, the packages folder. I do everything right, but cant get mods to work. Uh, since I cant start a new topic, I'm writing here.
