Mods will not work
I made a similar post on TS3 Reddit but it got taken down because there's already a post about downloading mods, but I really believe that I'm doing everything correctly. So I have had mods before, but I recently got back into playing and deleted my mods folder to start fresh. When I got the new one and tested it with the nointro.package mod, it didn't work. I tried it with some other mods and they didn't work. Here are my steps so you can check if I'm doing anything wrong:
My steps for downloading mods:
Go to folder, Documents>>>EA>>>Sims 3
Install mods folder WITH the Resource.cfg file and a package + overrides folder
Download mods (only nointro.package to test) with .package name... put in package folder
Delete scripCache.package to make sure everything works
It doesn't work
Things to know: game is totally up to date, I'm using the correct folder because the DeviceConfig file is there and the dates are consistent, and I even completely uninstalled the game and deleted the folder for a brand new one to try again and it still doesn't work.
I'm honestly so stumped! I've played with mods on this exact device so I'm really confused.
