Game Help Talk:Installing Sims 3 Package Files/Old

Issues with Custom Installation

• • • Why not just have the file extracted directly to C:Program files/Electronic Arts/Sims 3 ? It would eliminate one step. User:Kewian 10:54 5 June 2009

Because people on Vista with their permissions set up badly, which is after all most people on Vista, will receive an error if they try to extract into Program Files.

I have my game installed to another directory - are instructions the same with custom install as well as the default install? I do not have a Sims 3 folder in the directory given in the instructions, or do I have to create one?

I'd assume it would work if you put it into the folder you installed to - that is, if you installed to Games\TS3, put Resource.cfg in Games\TS3, and put .package files in Games\TS3\Mods\Packages. This should work, I think! curlybap 16:28, 4 June 2009 (CDT)

Can I put pattern files into \Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages\Patterns or must they be in \Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages? Also inside the Packages folder, I also have folders called Skins, Misc and Hacks. Can I place Hacks in \Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages\Hacks would they they need to be in \Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages ?

You can use any subfolder structure you like, up to four levels deep.
