So the old way does still work?
I use the way FuryRed explained it...and it took me a LONG time to understand that. I couldn't imagine trying to figure out yet another way!
And I haven't done that game update...so it should all still be cool :)
Yes the old way still works. :wink:
The difference is that you are installing your cc in a new "officially sanctioned" Mods/Packages folder in your game data folder (Documents). All of your game data exist in The Sims 3 folder, which
should be the only folder for the game in that location. Which is also the reason I think you don't need d3dx9_31.dll as you only have the one folder. However, some others feel differently.
Under Programs is where you would have folders for The Sims3 base game, eps, and sps which run the game. Having the Mods/Packages folder under Programs is confusing to lots of people, especially if you don't know how it works. If you mess up anything in your program folders you can actually destroy your PC/Laptop. Plus all this moving of the folders from the base game to the latest EP/SP is just asking for trouble. :shock:
I know I answered more than what you asked but I might as well explain it to everyone that reads this. However, there is a price to pay for not knowing how your PC/Laptops work. :? But I'll let you all figure that out on your own.
