Can't get Sims 3 Mod folder to work :(

Hi! I really wanted to start playing Sims 3 with mods so I went to go download the Mod Folder (https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files), but when I went to check if the no intro mod worked it didn't. I downloaded a no eyelash mod and it worked but when I downloaded hair, it crashed when I went there so the mod folder definitely does not work.

I have it in the right folder (/Users/*****/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods). I have reinstalled the folder many times and cleared cache but it still does not work. I have uninstalled Sims 3 and reinstalled but the Mod folder still will not work. If needed, my game version is 1.70.305.024017. I did need to ask EA to change my Sims 3 from PC to Mac 64-bit if that may be the possible root of the issue. 

Thank you for reading this, I hope y'all can help :)

    I actually found out that the mods I tried were ones that made my game crash and figured out the no intro meant just no EA intro (I thought it was both EA and Maxis Intro). Small misunderstanding :P Thank you anyways!!

  • HiImYourMailman​  Try creating your own Mods and Packages folders and downloading a copy of Resource.cfg from here:

    https://www.nraas.net/community/How-To-Install#Blunote00s-Check-List

    The nointro mod will still work with the Mac version, so it's a good test; all NRaas mods will work as well aside from UntranslatedKey.  Playing on a Mac isn't a reason the mods wouldn't work, nor is the fact that you had to get the Mac entitlements added to your account.
