I'm having issues with the new way to install custom content. I've followed the guide on here to a T, double checked to make sure everything in the correct folders and everything, but my custom content is still not working


My game is patched ( version 4.2.) and I'm running this game on a imac.

*Edit:

My Resource.cfg file:

Priority 501
DirectoryFiles Mods/Files/... autoupdate
Priority 500
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*.Sims3Mod
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*.Sims3Mod
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*.Sims3Mod
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*.Sims3Mod
PackedFile Mods/Packages/*/*/*/*/*.Sims3Mod
Priority 499
PackedFile Mods/Test/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Test/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Test/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Test/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Test/*/*/*/*/*.package
Priority -50
PackedFile Mods/Probation/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Probation/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Probation/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Probation/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Mods/Probation/*/*/*/*/*.package


Can anyone please help me? I'd really appreciate it.

Yes - and make sure that Resource.cfg contains the same as Resource.cfg.txt does. What folder is the Resource.cfg in?

What does the actual Resource.cfg file say? Can you copy+paste that, please?

I updated the original post with the files contents, it looks the same as the txt file.

It's not the same as the one you posted earlier. Please redownload from here http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?t...2:_Resource.cfg

How were you downloading and saving it?

You could also rename the file and remove the .txt extension...

and ps: moved to OSX Help

FireFlyxEyes... you could try deleting your Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods folder (move the 'Packages' folder to the desktop so you don't lose your mods) and then try running this http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=405261

If you're still having issues, head over to www.mactasticsims3.com and have a look in the tutorials section - particularly http://mactasticsims3.com/tutorials/tools/ for ideas on how to get your custom content working.
