This user has the following games installed:
Sims 3
.package files have no program icon
Hello everyone. I am brand new to this website and i am brand new to the world of sims. I have recently got the Sims 3. and only the base game, nothing else.
I want to use some mods ( or whatever you call it ) and i can't make .package files work. I have read the tutorial and the FAQs three times over and I can't see where I've gone wrong.
I have gone to my Sims 3 folder through my documents, NOT through program files, and i have downloaded and unzipped the FrameworkSetup file into the Sims 3 folder. I got the Mods folder and in it the Packages, Overrides and Resource files. Everything is fine until this point but when i open the packages folder, the .package files do not have the little Sims 3 icon next to them (as in my computer has no program to open them with). They just have the little blank sheet icon. I have restarted my computer and nothing has changed.
I have Sims 3 properly installed and i've been playing it for a month now, so what is the problem?
.sims3pack files have the sims 3 icon and they work properly.
Thank you for your time
