Mod installation issues
I have been trying to get mods for the Sims 3 for about 3 days now. I've made some progress but it's one problem after the other and I'm not a coder so I can't fix a lot of the issues I come across. ...

I’m having the same issue as 15mea15 except that only .package mods from NRaas are found in my game. Any other mod from any other website is not found. I haven’t tried any sims3pack mods that you download through the launcher so I don’t know if they’d work but .package files are killing me, nothing works and I’m doing the same thing as everyone in every tutorial video there is. All I want is a pretty skin 😞
@nightlillly Please remove all non-NRaas files from Mods\Packages and add back just one file, something you know you'll be able to find in-game. Delete the five cache files in the Sims 3 folder:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
Load the game and see whether the item is present. Keep in mind that skins, like all other CAS items, are only for one gender, so if you're testing an adult male skin, you won't see it when looking at an adult female, and vice versa.
If the items works, you can start adding more of your content a little at a time. One of the reasons a skin may not show up is that you have more than one "default" skin for that category. Default skins are just that, the default for all sims not given a different skin, so only one per category will load. You can have as many non-default skins as you want, and most cc skin creators will provide both default and non-default options.
- @nightlillly Please let us know if your problem resolves. I think with me it was just corrupted cc I downloaded, although the problem was unidentified. Also try taking the cc you downloaded out of the mods folder and then download a “pretty skin” and place that in the mods/packages folder and see if it appears in your game; if your problem persists this could mean you don’t have the resource.cfg in your mod folder which you need in order for mods/cc to appear. 😊💛
Warm wishes
