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
Followed all FAQs,and Guides yet no solution.
I have placed everything where it should be,and have revised the guides on custom content tons of times by now yet my Custom content never shows up in-game....

Even the no intro mod wont work.

thanks in advance.

Did you unzip them? Did you put the Mod file in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\? NOT Program Files. I know these are annoying questions, but these are the most common mistakes people make.

you've said you unpacked mod zipped folder into ./Documents so
now your folders' hierarchy looks like: (where ./ is short form from c:\[path_to_your_user_folders]\Documents )
./Documents
./[list of other things you have there]
...
./ElectronicArts
./Mods
??????
it won't work that way If it is *this* particular case just move "Mods" from Documents to
./Documents/ElectronicArts/Sims3/
and delete scripts.package file

I did worse things

  • 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?

wait, you have outdated nointro mod. How many "intros" you see before game starts to load? (game version >1.5 have at last two (I didn't see how many of them is from ages), "maxis bump" and then standars) you see few or this 1st one?

updated nointro: http://modthesims.info/d/497903

You mean this "opening movie of Sunset Valley"?

Try to run some quickly test:
if you have got DIsc version of game - get NRaas No-CD package, delete scripts.package and look if game will ask for a disk if you'll run it without one in the CD/DVD bay.
If it's not Disc version - try putting something you quickly recognize as present after loading any neighborhood - I mean - some furniture for example which you shall easy find in catalogue as "loaded or not".

Because everything seems to be allright except these intros ....

Given that your skuversion.txt thinks you're unpatched, I would hazard a guess that the patches haven't installed properly. Do you have access to the patch features such as tattoos?

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.
