Tutorial how to install sims mods. Next step is to Download Resource.cfg. Put this file Resource.cfg file in the root folder of The Sims 3.

Access the Mod The Sims website.Sims 3 mods install mac Mod The Sims has a guide (http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files) that supplies you with the necessary files to create the directory. You'll need to unzip the FrameworkSetup.zip file and place its contents into your Sims 3 directory (Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3Sims 3 mods installieren).
  • 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.

With the new Sims 3 expansion Pack “Ambitions” and latest patches 1.12/2.7/3.3/4.0, now Sims 3 officially supports game modifications. But the earlier methods used for installing Mods will not work with all the latest patches and with the new expansion pack “Ambitions”.
