All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries.I read some tutorials, and it seems that a patch actually changed the folder for custom content.I move the hairstyles to (.my documentsTheSims3ModsPackages) and I launched the game again.Is there any way to play with custom content you download in the Internet Because I dont want to spend X number of bucks just to get some hairstyles or clothes I wont probably like.
PS: The files Ive downloaded are in.PACKAGE format, if you were asking. You just download whatever you want to the folder of My DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3ModsPackages. So, you should expect the launcher detects the game, right Then no, but still, even if the content is not detected, it will be in the game. I searched for the hairstyles Ive been looking and they are, in the hairstyle section. Dont worry, its just an icon, you dont have to buy anything else. Some geospatial data on this website is provided by geonames.org. Same applies to patterns on clothing as well, replace them with a pattern youve made yourself or one that came with the base game. Can anyone help Custom Content or CC for short can be pretty tricky with TS3. Same for mods. As far as I know there are Sims 3 Package Files and extracting zipped folders, though Im clueless about the latter So Ill explain the former: Sims 3 Package Files are what you would get with Sims 3 store content when you download them into your game. Depending on what you got you can get anywhere from a single item (a dress for example) or an entire set (like a bedroom set or compilationcollection for example). A single item (the dress lets say) is a single item and should download easily into your game via the launcher. A more complex item like a bedroom set or a compilation will take a little longer to download because they have multiple pieces to them. Official content aside, you can also download stuff from the Sims 3 exchange (on the Sims 3 website) in the form of these Sims 3 package files. Since the exchange cant determine CC Custom Content from a third party site (such as Mod the Sims or Sims Resource) and Official Store Content CC (whats for purchaseon sale on thesims3.com), a lot of custom content on the exchange is completely unregulated and you really have to depend on the creator to tell you whether or not theres custom content in their creation. Because of this unregulated CC that gets past the Exchange you can encounter a world of wonder and a world of problems. If youre a totally new player downloading whatever you find pretty off of the exchange you might find a lot of unwanted content in your game such as unwanted custom skin tones, modded or bugged clothes to make sims look completely nude, clothing that doesnt mesh correctly and clips with your sims or objects in game, etc. A number of problems can happen if youre not careful and if youre entirely new to the exchange. Sims 3 Custom Content Folder Install And ReinstallThe Sims has an amazing modding community and Ive never encountered CC thats broken my game completely to the point of me having to uninstall and reinstall everything. However I have wiped my computer a few times before, but each time was caused by something different, not the CC itself (hopefully). Ive had more problems with THE SITES THAT HAVE THE CUSTOM CONTENT themselves. ![]() However, once again the Sims 3 exchange isnt well regulated when it comes to custom content so if you wanna get CC from there, youll have some fun. When you download stuff from the Sims 3 exchange itll download into your launcher as a Sims 3 package file. Downloading Sims with heavy amounts of CC can be hard because of the unwanted skin tones, a the multiple hair styles they may come with and the clothing you may or may not want. You should also be wary of clothing patterns that sneak their way into your game as well as stuff that makes your sim look nude. Ive edited sims like this in the past (all I really wanted was the hairstyles). So i can give you some advice when it comes to editing unwanted CC from these sims, safely getting rid of the stuff you dont want and keeping the stuff you do. When it comes to editing the CC out of Sims Ive done this a handful of times in the past and Ill soon test it again for the sake of seeing if such a process will work when backing up my DLC and on a USBFlash drive. Heres what Ive done and if you want to see, you can download some of the items from my studio on the exchange. Step 1: Download the Sims with the CC you want Step 2: Start the game and go into Create a Sim Step 3: Find the Sim you downloaded in the pre-made Sim tab, itll open up a box with all of the pre-made Sims the base game came with as well as any sims you have made and saved in Create a Sim as well as ones you download from the exchange Step 4: select the Sims with the CC you want. For instance: if they have a CC skin tone you dont care for, select a base game skin tone instead; If they have a clothing item you dont care for, replace it with a base game item; same for the hair, make up and pretty much anything you dont care for.
