Serious Issue guys, back in the game and cc isn't showing up...

[RylandHomes]

Ok, so i've been off ts3 for a while because my computer was in storage, and I uninstalled the game, saved all my cc and other important files, and cleaned my computer up. Well I reinstalled the game(s) last night, and I've been trying all morning to get my darn cc to show up. Now, i don't know what the deal is, because I'm no noob when it comes to cc, but there may be something I'm doing wrong.

I thought that I would be able to organize all my cc, so I did one folder for hair, one for makeup, on for windows and doors, etc.

So I put the separate folders like so:
My Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Mods>Packages>(all the organized folders)

Then, that didn't work. No cc was showing up, so I just unorganized all of it, and through it all in the packages folder. Like so:
My Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Mods>Packages

Then, guess what.. the cc still didn't show up. So, I went and read around in a few forums (found some really funny stuff (http://i40.tinypic.com/9qg1f5.jpg) by accident)
So I read that after ambitions, Mods>Packages was obsolete, but I didn't remember that, but I went ahead and did what someone with a similar problem did, and put all my packages like so:
My Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Mods

There is an FAQ here: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:GCCTSU3_Start which might help you two.

If you have already done all of that, can you post (in separate threads) to tell us what you tried and the result of each step?

And don't forget to post the info which was asked for on the new thread page, including your game version and screenshots of the relevant folders. :)
