There are ways to extract and convert sims3pack content to package files for your own use. I've never heard of putting the files originally landing in DC Backup in Mods\Packages and have no idea if that would work, perhaps someone else here can comment on that.
@mickeysimmouse Yes, when you install a sims3pack it puts a package file into your dcbackup folder. If you move that package file into your mods/packages folder you will have that content in your game. However, as igazor said, it won't upload with a build as a package file in the mods folder. You have to have the sims3pack installed and the package file in the dcbackup folder for the content to be uploaded with your build.
If it is store content, you don't have to have the package file in the dcbackup folder. If the person who downloads it owns and has installed the store content you've used, the game will recognize it and put it in its proper place. I personally tested that out and it worked.
Thank you both! Yes, I have the tool and downloaded it, and fully intended on using it. But I was unable to even open it because I'm on a Mac...So I decided to see if there were any alternates and came across that solution. I suppose I'll have to provide downloaders with links to all of my CC if they want it to look right...lol.
Thanks again for your help!
