    @samanthajones020 Are you sure you downloaded the MasterController base mod, and not just one of the add-ons?  These extra modules, like Cheats and Integration, won't work unless you also have the base mod in place.  If you're not sure which one you have, check the label, or just download a fresh copy.

    Otherwise, maybe it's better to try a clean game folder; once your mods are working, you can move your saves and other content into it from your old folder.

    Drag your entire TS3 folder (not just pieces, the whole thing) out of Documents and onto your desktop.  Launch the game, go to the Main Menu, and quit.  Then unzip the Mods framework and place it in this new game folder, and delete scriptCache.  Load the game again and confirm that both mods are working.  Quit, delete scriptCache again, unzip MasterController, place it in Mods/Packages, and reload.

No I just looked for the ScriptCache.Package but i can't find it. Where would it be? I looked in the game folder and the bin but there isn't one. and the patch is 1.69.43
i have installed the correct version for my patch so I don't understand what I've done wrong

@samanthajones020  The scriptCache.package file, and the other cache files, are in your game folder in Documents, where you added the mods.  (The full path is Documents\EA\TS3.)  It has to be deleted whenever you add or remove a package file from your mods folder.

If you downloaded MasterController any time recently, then you definitely have the correct version.

    I deleted it then and i went into the game but the window where the NRaas mods pop up and it still didn't show up (it doesn't show up at all because i have no mods installed)

        I tried that but it still doesn't seem to be working, could it be something to do with how i install it?
        I download it from the website (google chrome) and it appears at the bottom, I click it and it goes to winrar with the mod there as a file and i just drag and drop it into the package file but i have also tried extracting it and stuff but it still never seems to work
