Package files havn't worked for months

[scallinan]

Hi I have a problem as my sims 3 package files don't work. They used to then one day it just stopped so i redid all the steps and still didn't. The only thing that I did was install a software update for my mac in the time between it working and not. Anyway I left it for ages until I got WA expansion where i tried again and it still didn't work so I left it again until I got Ambitions and now I want to be able to use the packages I used to! Here is what my resource.cfg files looks like Priority 501
DirectoryFiles Files/... autoupdate
Priority 1000
PackedFile Overrides/*.package
PackedFile Overrides/*/*.package
PackedFile Overrides/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Overrides/*/*/*/*.package

Priority 500

Game_Help:GCCTSU3_ModsRedoFramework
Have you tested on a new Mods folder, with a redownloaded FrameworkSetup.zip? Or failing that, test with new Mods folder on brand new set of The Sims 3 user folders (with nothing else added, just the extracted Mods folder)?

Why is there multiple copies of the 2 test files anyway? Do the copies still have the .package extension or were they renamed (can't tell from the image)?
Do the 2 test files on their own work?

i have tried with new framework and it doesn't make a difference but how do you mean with new sims user folders? The reason theres 2 is just cause i have tried redownloading it multiple times and normally delete it all but that time I had just left it and they do have .package extensions and they don't work on their own
