How to Add Mods to The Sims 3. If you're not pleased with how The Sims 3 does something or find the in-game system to frequently break, there are game modifications (mods) to make the game run differently, or just run smoother.

• The FrameworkSetup file will contain the necessary framework for your mods - a folder named Overrides, a folder named Packages, and a file named Resource.cfg. The Packages folder will already have two files in it (nobuildsparkles.package and nointro.package) so you'll be able to check if your mods will work. If you start up your game and get no intro animation, nor any sparkles when placing walls or fences, everything is working.
• Very old versions of The Sims 3 (prior to the release of World Adventures and its patch) would have mods and content in the Program Files directory. This no longer works - do not attempt to place custom content in the wrong directory and do not use Monkey Bars or Helper Monkey to install your content.

How To Download Mods Sims 3 Origin

  I used to be really confused by the whole Cache thing too, but it's really quite straightforward. I'm on a Windows laptop so I don't know what it'd be like on a Mac.
  Go into 'My Computer', then into 'My Documents', open 'Electronic Arts' and from there select 'The Sims 3'.
  At the bottom of the first column, delete 'CASPartCache.package', 'compositorCache.package', 'scriptCache.package', 'simCompositorCache.package' and 'socialCache.package'.
  I don't think you HAVE to delete them all, those are the ones I delete.
  As for mods - go to Google and type in 'nraas', the first result should be the right one. All the mods are down the left hand side of the page in a list and each one is explained and detailed instructions are there too.
  Be warned, you must update each mod every time a patch is released for the game or they won't work.
  I hope this helps!!

  Oh!! You can also go into the 'WorldCaches' folder and delete everything in there .
  It's all renewed when you start your game up again .

  So I deleted all the caches files you told me, except World.cache because I wasn't able to find it.
  I'm having som trouble downloading the mod.
  First I tried with monkeyhelper, but got the message 'No Framework Found', or so.
  Then I tried to install it manually, but I can't find the folder when I put the file.
  I use Winrar to extract.

  The monkey helper has been outdated for a long time, at least a year or two. Try following these instructions to the letter.
  When you download a new mod, just drop the .package file into the Packages folder (or a subfolder if your resource.cfg allows them). Voila, mod installed.
  After that, clearing your caches will make sure that the game reads the mods rather than falling back on old code.

  Where is the .packages folder?
  Is it in 'Documents -> Electronic Arts' or 'Disk E -> Orign -> Sims 3 Generations'?

  ^ should be: Documents/Electronic Arts/ The Sims 3/ Mods

  Read the instructions I linked for you and it will all make perfect sense.

  I don't have a mod folder, and I don't know how to make it.

  You really need to look at the info that Katana_x linked for you - it explains how to add the mod folder and how to download the packages. It's what I used to get started, and it's very helpful. Now I have several Nraas mods in my game, and it's running much better.

  can you make sword in box light sword so sword come out when opened? then if sword is back after sword, use light saber on box, and saber will boxed after sword is out.
