OMG! I have only been able to get like halfway through the process even after watching a lot of different sims videos but your video has so far been the clearest most informative one i've seen thank you so much for making this and having great instructions
Thanks so much for the tutorial!!!! i have been trying to find a video that was easy enough for me to understand, now i could finally give my sims the great hair they totally deserve
If your issue is because the website itself isn't letting you (like it just did for me) left click on the download, click inspect, and the highlighted code right above the image based code (right below the dropdown) will directly install the file. I know I'm 8 months late but if anyone else sees it might help
Thanks! I wanted to do this for a long time, since I have Sims 3 Complete Edition but I do nkthing with it so instead of wasting money and uninstalling it I decided to install mods!
@@chellerygaming really? I tried to install some mods a while ago, but it didn’t work. Does installing mods require a wifi connection? Because our PC doesn’t have one
Hi @Lillish Stuff! You don’t need WiFi for installing mods. You just put it in packages/mods and it should work. Sometimes mods don’t work because it might conflicts. Let me know if you are still having trouble.
Your video was very clear and I know I got the mods folder in right because the mods it came with work. But I've put in mods with the other ones and they aren't showing up in my game. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
The no intro and no sparkles mods work for me but when i try to add other mods to my folder my game won't load and immediately crashes. Why won't anything else work? I've been trying for days. :(
@@chellerygaming omg hi, ok just to give u background information I made a mod folder BEFOREHAND; making two folders named packages + override W/ a sims 3 resource file. Do i just copy that and THEN paste it into the sims 3 thingy majigy?
So you have your original folder which is labeled ‘mods’ right? Make sure the packages and override folders are inside of the ‘mod’ folder. The sims 3 resource file should be inside of your ‘mods’ folder underneath the packages and overrides folders. You can drag it into the ‘sims 3’ folder that is in Electronic Arts or copy and paste it into the folder. I hope this helps! 😅
When you download a sims 3 pack (the blue background with green plumbob) it should appear in your downloads folder. Double click on the pack and it should pull up on the launcher. Make sure to pull up the launcher first before clicking on the pack.
Ive done this but they dont show up in game? I can only ever seem to download off the sims rescourse and only istalls if it has the bag symbol. Not the white symbol. Not sure what to do:(
i dont understand why my mods/cc stop working once i get more cc. i dont have an intro because i have that package but it appeared on my game and my script mods didnt appear either. help??
I am not sure what I am doing wrong but this isn't working? I am not sure if I downloaded the right thing although I checked. The mods are there in the files but won't show in my game.
@@chellerygaming Im having the same issue as well. I click the download now button and it wont download. No download bar or nothing. Checked my downloads folder to see if it downloaded anyways but it didn't
Check if your computer is running a 64-bit or a 32-bit by going to Settings > System > About on your computer. Then after you can download winrar for free from this website ⬇️ Link : www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0
hiii ! is framework the same as the ccloader ? like do they do the same thing ? because i wanted to donwload the bakers mod and it said the ccloader was required and i was confused about the process
I've downloaded NRAAS MasterController, OverWatch, etc and I have the Resource file, mod folder, etc. When I load into the The sims 3 on Origin and start up the game when I click on my Sim/City Hall I don't get the option of Master Controller. Yes my game is in my Documents Folder but I didn't use any extracting tools, I just right clicked on the folder and pressed 'Extract All' and found the Mod/Packages/NRAAS folder and extracted it there. Any idea of why this isn't working?
Hey in-game it should say NRaas. So you should be able to click on the sim, ground or buildings and the option of NRaas should pop up. That’s how you would get to master controller.
@@chellerygaming Thanks for the reply, but even the CityHall/Clicking on Sim doesn't bring up anything related to NRaas/Master Controller. I doubt the game even recognizes the mods.. anything else I could do?
@@chellerygaming it was a growing mod, so that sims grow instead if just aging up, and a get drunk mod. The game recognizes them but nothing has actually changed idk what that means
I don’t know I installed the mods folder I did it all right but as soon as I put a mod in the mod package folder my game won’t even work it does work when nothing is in the file but as soon as I add mods into the package folder my game won’t work. Won’t even load up. HELP!!!!!!
doesn't work, I put the mods folder into the documents/electronic arts/sims 3 folder, but no mods I install work. there's still an intro and build sparkles
I’m sorry that you are still having issues. I can’t think of anything else that could be possibly wrong. You might want to redo the entire folder. Like delete the folder and start over. Try using this link…this might help you: modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files
That download option is NO LONGER available. I have been trying for so long to get mods to work and I can’t at all. I know no one who can do this and everyone says it’s so easy. Yeah, it seems pretty straightforward with clicking download and it going to the premade file, but getting that premade file is not what you are showing.
Whenever I do “extract here” nothing shows for me to cut… I thoroughly went through the whole video leading up to that point but it’s still not doing anything. Is there something I should try? Thank you in advance 😊
When i try to download the framworksetup zip it doesn't download anything or work. Every site i've been to has been expired or something. i really wanted to play with mods on my new laptop.
@@Mirredin good. Did you get the mods working in your game after downloading it?? Cause I did and followed all the steps yet the folder won’t connect my game
@@allydiaz5842 I got it to work. Make sure The folder isn't that deep in the files, cause that could cause the game not finding it. It shouldn't be more than one folder deep
@@chellerygaming I followed all the steps, and I dowload a few things(mods,cloths,shoes,etc) and when I get in my game only 1 piece of clothing I dowloaded is showing in the game launcher.I decided to go into create a sim.But still, only that one piece of clothing showed up.Nothing else:(
List of Possibilities 1. Some of the cc could be outdated 2. Make sure the sims 3 launcher is downloading the cc. Sometimes it needs to be in a folder to be downloaded. Downloading the sims 3 pack off the desktop doesn’t work. 3. Trying to download too many at one time. Maybe try one at a time. 4. If it’s a sims 3 package, make sure to extract with a zip and place in mods folder. Sims 3 Pack is the one with the sims 3 logo. Sims 3 package is the one that looks like a document/piece of paper.

this is the easiest explanation of how to do this! thanks sis!
For some reason my packs allow me to just launch the game they don't show in downloads. Moding is hard for beginners XD.
Can you do a updated tutorial this week? It’s not working for me 😕

I literally almost threw up trying to learn this. This is the only tutorial that has ever worked for me and ive been playing this for 3 years
For some reason when I went to mod the sims it wouldn't download and I pressed the thing 100 times
where do you put the winrar package in? do you just place it in the Mod folder??
i hit the download icon nothing happens
Where do you find the download on Mod the Sims? I can’t find it on the site
im on the mod the sims website but i dont see the download button?
This is the easiest video I was able to get my hands on thanks so much for this information
Love the new Intro so pretty, thank you so much very useful.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Do you maybe know why mods are not showing themselves in the sims main menu where you pick the worlds?
Help . I did it but when i get all the files in the mods folder they only show up in the folder. Not on the launch screen. Idk what im doing wrong

Yes!

Double click the sims 3 pack but in a folder (ex the downloads folder). I had trouble with downloading it because it was placed on the desktop screen.
