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
Sims 3 Mods
ok so I've been at this all day downloading mods and following step by step the instructions but i still cant get them to show up at all in my game. Either my game wont start or it does start and it just doesnt show. I dont know if its cause its an offline game. I bought the whole sims 3 and expansions and world bundles from a website it works great but its all offline i can get stuff from thesimsresource.com so I just wanna know how to fix this cause i was really looking forward to using all these mods i got from here and from a couple other sites

What mods are you trying to use that are not "showing up" And Where did you by all the EPs/SPs from?

- 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.- 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 = - 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!
- Open your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\resource.cfg file in Notepad/TextEdit and copy-paste its contents here.
- Right-click on Resource.cfg and check Properties. Is the file name Resource.cfg or Resource.cfg.txt or something else?
- What is the version of your base game?

Oh, so it's like eBay but less reliable, mkay.
We'll need the other info Buzz requested in order to help. I suspect the problem is that you haven't patched your game.
What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

You can check the Resource.cfg by right-clicking it and hitting Open With, then picking Notepad from the list.

You have some TS2 mods in your Packages folder. TS3 content cannot possibly have modification dates in 2006. More importantly, TS3 cannot run TS2 content.
But run Delphy's Dashboard on your Packages folder to identify all of them.

Are you unzipping (un-raring actually since it's currently available as a rar file) completely to get a standalone folder with the exe file, two dll files, and a changelog text file and running the exe from this new standalone folder? You also need .NET 2.0 for the program to work once it's un-rared, as the documentation says.
In any event, you have to identify the TS2 content somehow and remove it or your game will never startup and read the package content it needs to properly. Even if that means going back to the download source for each file and verifying that the item is indeed for TS3.
