There are two types of sims 3 package files TYPE 1: needed to be installed manually and TYPE 2: will get installed automatically. I personally found the instructions to be pretty confusing. I don't know if my instructions are easier to follow, but I'll still share them: Go into your Documents>Electronics Arts>The Sims 3 folder. Create a new folder titled Mods. Open that folder and create a new folder within it titled Packages. Download this file: Place it in the Mods folder alongside the Packages folder. Download the.package files you want and extract them.

Does Dban Work On Windows Vista. You're going to need an unzipping software like WinRar or 7Zip. I personally use 7Zip, and, if the mod is in.zip format, all I have to do is click on the download at the bottom of the browser and 7Zip automatically decompresses it. If it's in.rar format, I have to take the extra step of extracting the files to a folder on my computer. Once the files are extracted, place them in the Packages folder. Delete your cache files: CasPartCache.package, compositorCache.package, scriptCache.package, simCompositorCache.package.
