I wasn't sure if it was the Helper Monkey that put that Mods folder there or whether one of the patches had done it. I'd read in other places that the Mods folder should be in the My Documents > EA > The Sims 3 folder, not in the Program Files one, so I wasn't sure which one I should have the folder in if I uninstall the Helper Monkey program.
I just checked to see if I have the d3dx9_31.dll and I do, so that's one less I have to worry about I guess. :)
This all depends on the games and patch/updates you have intalled. I think yours is set up fine since you only have the base game.

All the CC that I've downloaded and installed is currently working fine but from what I've been reading in the last few days the Helper Monkey can cause some problems and it's best to install CC manually, so that's why I was wondering if I had everything set up the right way and all I needed to do was uninstall the Helper Monkey. If I did uninstall it would the Mods folder in my root directory get deleted along with it? Would it be a good idea to just make a copy of it and then after uninstalling the Monkey, checking if I need to put that folder back in?
I would "just in case" back up a copy of your Mods/Packages folder, in the Sims 3 folder under programs, to your desktop.
Uninstall Delphy's Installer Helper Monkey from installed programs via the control panel, clean your registry just to make sure all of that file is gone, then re-check the path to your Mods/Packages folder (this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages) to make sure your cc is still there.
Also, check to make sure the d3dx9_31.dll file is still in C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin folder. If they are, start your game to verify your cc is still working as it should. If all is good then just delete the folder you placed on the desktop.

I really like the idea that you showed about organising the Mods folder so that everything is really easy to find. I'm a bit of an organisation freak when it comes to my pc, I like everything to be labeled properly and put in the appropriate folders, not just thrown all around the place. LOL
Thanks again for you help.
Nikki. :)
I have OCD so that's only part of it. If I didn't organize my stuff I'd never be able to find it. :lol:
Let me know what happens and good luck. :wink:
