I've tried to put them in Downloads folder and install via launcher but that didn't work. Then I converted sims3pack files to package using Sims3Pack Multi Installer and I got over 500 package files. I put them in Package folder but the game just stopped loading. What should I do? Do I still need the framework? |

Try installing 100-500 items at a time through the launcher. As far as package files you yes u need framework. Install delphy's dashboard to see if some package files are conflicting with each other or they may be corrupt or broken and preventing the game to run. U can get the dashboard here http://www.modthesims.info/d/387006 Edited to add link |

I tried installing several items at a time, didn't work. And which framework do I need? Do I also need Helper Monkey? |

No, I mean the last line which says 'If you have any issues in getting Sims3Pack content to show up, do the suggestions in Game Help:GCCTSU3 Start.' |

No don't use monkey helper, it is outdated. You can find the framework you need here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...ic,15184.0.html this is only needed for .package files. If all fails, uninstall and reinstall the game and make sure u update to the latest patch |

I haven't used anything Awesome for a while - but doesn't it work if you make a folder called Mods in your Documents folder, then do all the stuff that MTS says to do in 2012? Not sure if I'd try doing stuff that I was told to do in 2009. |

Heya! 1. Extract. 2. Go to framework-->Game-->Bin. 3. Copy the .dll and paste it in Documents-->Electronic Arts-->Game-->Bin 4. Copy the folder Mods (framework-->Mods) and paste it in Documents-->Electronic Arts 5. Copy the Resource.cfg and paste it in Documents-->Electronic Arts-->Mods 6. Place all the .package content you want in the game in Packages. If this doesn't help, use this Good luck!

The instructions at MATY seem a bit outdated. You put nothing into your Main install directory. I would suspect that the Framework from MATY might also be equally outdated. If you downloaded a Framework from MTS (In the wiki article that Simsample suggested about Getting Custom Content to show up) , what you do is to unzip the folder, open the resulting Framework Setup folder, and move everything "as-is" into the Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 3 folder. This makes your game able to use .package CC. Unfortunately, it does nothing about Sims3packs, as they are -supposed- to be able to be installed from the Launcher. This is the GCCTSU link, in case you missed it. http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?tit...p:GCCTSU3_Start Edit: Yes, if there is a .dll involved, that framework is outdated. You do not need to put a .dll into your Game Bin anymore, and doing so -can- cause problems. |

We can't see the file extensions, but the resource.cfg should be a .cfg file. Yours is showing as a Microsoft Office item. Can you double check to be sure it's a cfg with no further extensions? |

What are the folders in your Sims 3 folder entitled 'Content', 'Hair', 'Objects & Sets', 'Pack', 'Patterns', 'Sims'? They should not be there- if they contain package files then they should be in the Mods folder. Also, please show the file extension of the resource file: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219 |

And...so I repeat simsample's question, as I see the Monkey icon: Quote:
Select a handful Sim3Pack to test with, not hundreds of stuff. Best if
Where are the Sim3Packs downloaded from? The ones that are not installable? And you are reading Overviews/Descriptions for each CC, aren't you? To make sure the CC are compatible with your game version and that you have all the EPs/SPs and meet any other requirements the CC creator stated? ie Game_Help:GCCTSU3_VerifyCompatibilitywiki And, last but not least: are you still on patch 1.34 at this point of time? | |

Yes, I've worked through that FAQ and I've already uninstalled Helper Monkey. I downloaded those CC a long time ago and it worked fine. But I reinstalled my game recently and then it got messed up. Now in my saved game many items are raplaced with others. And also not all sims3packs don't show up. Some items show up in the game and some don't. Now it's really hard for me to remember which item belongs to which sims3pack. And yes, I'm still on patch 1.34. |

It is possible that the missing CC is not compatible with your patch level, especially if it worked a long time ago, and has stopped working now. |
