This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Mods are not working (Installed correct resource.cfg + framework)
My mods used to work in Sims 3. I remember clearly that I had mods such as chin sliders work just fine, but I took a year break from sims. When I returned, I downloaded the Pose Player mod, and placed it inside the package folders within my mod folder.

I started my game, and.... none of my packages showed in the game. There were no glitches, or bugs, just they weren't there. I couldn't locate the pose player anywhere in the game. This isn't the first I've noticed it. This has been happening for a few weeks, but today was the first time I tried downloading something new and seeing if that'd work.

I have a mac, and my direct downloads to the game work. My mods used to work awhile ago, but haven't once I got back into sims. I JUST (as in an hour ago) downloaded a new resource file in hopes that'd cure the problem. It didn't. Can anyone help me fix my game? I really want to use some NRaas mods and the pose player for stories I'm making :C

  • Sims 3 - Verify Package Installation
    To help you further, please carefully read and follow the following:

    First, double-check your setup: These instructions will take you through the things you should check yourself: Package Files Not Working. You may be able to fix the problem yourself using those instructions.

    Still not working? Then we will need ALL of the following information.
    1. What is the version of your base game?
      Windows OS: Game Help:TS3 Patching Find Gameversionwiki
      Mac OSX: Find Gameversion#info.plist
      CAW: How to find your Create-A-World version

      Copy and paste the indicated line from the skuversion.txt or info.plist, from the respective locations shown in the Find Gameversion Wiki, which would show you how to navigate to the following path: \Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
      Quote:
      BG: GameVersion =
    2. Take THREE screenshots... one each of the following locations, with the Explorer/Finder window showing the Details View:
      • Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\
      • Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\
      • Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages

      ... and attach them to a post on this thread. Click Go Advanced and then Manage Attachments. Or if it says the pictures are too big, you can upload them to modyourpanties.com and copy and paste the links.
      We have a guide on how to take screenshots if you need assistance: Game_Help:Screenshotswiki.

      Make sure you set your folder view to Details mode, that you have file types showing (.package, .cfg, etc. on the ends of the filenames) and expand out the Name and Type columns so they're fully readable!

    3. Open your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\resource.cfg file in Notepad/TextEdit and copy-paste its contents here.

    4. Right-click on Resource.cfg and check Properties. Is the file name Resource.cfg or Resource.cfg.txt or something else?

We need a bit ore info before we can tell you what's wrong. :)
