@Unreal_Harreh_St Any cc in with the file extension .package needs to go in Mods\Packages, just like mods do. Any cc in Sims3Pack form needs to go in Downloads, where it can then be installed via the launcher. And of course, any compressed file (.zip is the most common type) needs to be expanded before it can be used; you can unzip most files with a double-click.
i put all the SIMS3PACK files in downloads but they r not showing up in launcher, what shall i do?

@zacwestmore Are they all in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads? It's possible that Sims 3 is reading a different game folder than the one where you put the downloads. To find out, check the last modified date on the file labeled deviceconfig.log, also inside the Sims 3 game folder. It should match the last time you launched the game. If it doesn't, then this isn't the folder being used.
If this isn't the issue, try moving all the files out of Downloads, put just one back in, and let me know whether the launcher reads it properly or not.

@littlelambsie The deviceconfig always reports Windows 10 as Windows 8, so that's not the issue. What kind of custom content are you trying to install: .package files or .Sims3Packs? Please also make sure that the option to "Run without custom content" is NOT checked in the launcher's Installed Content tab.

The CC is in the correct files, still not working. What do I do?

@Splotchish Please take a screenshot or two of the folder(s) where you've placed your custom content. Be sure to include the address bar, above the list of files and folders.
