No Electronic Arts Folder?! Windows 8.1

Could you post a screenshot with the path to your docs folder and the content (might need more than one).

You should have two folders

One in Programs(x86)\Origin_Games\thesims3 --> This is all your installed files. Don't mess with those and just leave them as they are. There's no Electronic arts folder involved here if you have an Origin_Games one

Then there's one in documents which is all user files and this is where the mods folder belongs. You can't just create a mods folder though. It needs a file called resource.cfg. Please read up on that cause mods are not officially supported by EA and we can't really discuss them here

There were many documents realted to sims, but they are mostly empty and kinda scattered around. I do have resource.cfg. But it was already made before I dragged in a mods folder.(I think I remember it being there before) Is that normal? It wasn't put in a folder, and neither was ccmerged.

(How do I add a screenshot here, I am new to this website) 

Also there are many .package.sig folders. They also have tons of numbers. Maybe I can look at my old computer since it still works, for the format of the folders, but I don't know if that will mess up my game...

But I found this one folder called "OneDrive" there was two little document folders and one had most Sims realated things in it. (sorry for repeating) 🙂

When I look up electronic arts in the search. I find other folders that I can not find anywhere, and tons of pictures that say thumbnail. I did see a folder called savedsims which I was trying to find, but I didn't want to mess around with it, because a few days ago when I had this problem I did mess with it and had to re-install my game...

If there is a Electronic Arts folder, would it be named Electronic arts?

I'll search again, I will put a picture, I don't know how to post it on here (if you can)

Thanks

I think I found it, I found a folder while searching and it was just called "Sims 3" So I clicked it and there where folders and there were all the folders I needed. I will do a test run for it with my CC.

If it doesn't work, to post pictures, you should have a little picture icon in the toolbar here. Just click on it and upload the picture to insert into the post.

It did not work, I think I am going to make another family, since when I got on after I got home, my current family got deleted. So I will just make a quick one and see if it helps.

Yeah it did not work... It doesn't show any of my packages or CC I tried to put in... This is seriously annoying.... Is it in the wrong folder?

I do not see a photo icon...

Could you please edit your posts when no one has answered. Just click on options on your last post and choose edit.

Could you post that pic for me. It does not sound normal at all.

Doc path should be like this: documents\electronicarts\thesims3\

I think I am just going to give up. I spent my whole week off school trying to fix this. 

I guess 8.1 isn't really cut out for sims 3.... 

Thanks anyways.

Maybe I'll try again when I have more time on my hands...

There is no electronic arts folder, at all. Just sims 3 folders... Whatever.. :P
