Re: .package cc files not showing up in-game

@puzzlezaddict thank you very much for this response, I did this, so I removed my mods folder, downloaded the modthesims wiki mods folder that includes nointro and whatnot, deleted all the cache files and there was no intro which im assuming means the package file worked as intended. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi, none of those cache files were ever in my Sims 3 file to begin with and never have, yet my .package files still aren't showing up. I downloaded and installed them correctly. I extracted them into the mods/packages file and yet they still are not appearing in game. I repeated the entire process, searched for the cache files, the cache files still don't exist and the package files still aren't working.

@Jossph117  Please post a screenshot of your Packages folder, with the address bar (above the list of files and folders) showing as well.

Hello can you help with my Sims 3 package file I have been downloading mods and cc for years and know I'm doing it right since some are showing up in my game but majority of its not in my game and I don't understand why when I know everything set up right and a few things work like NRaas please and thank you

@577ua15qbszd  Please post a  screenshot of the Packages folder that contains your mods.  Please also let me know what game version is showing in the lower-left corner of the launcher.

This is how its set up the game version  is 1.69.43.024017 I have all the expansions and packs and I know it works since some things show up in the game just not everything and I don't get why only some things are in the game 

@577ua15qbszd  That looks fine, I mean your Packages folder doesn't need the installation guides or the .png file in your screenshot, but they're not doing any harm either.  Have you deleted the five cache files in your Sims 3 folder since the last time you added custom content?  If not, please do so now—they should be deleted any time you add or remove content from your user folder.

• CASPartCache.package
• compositorCache.package
• scriptCache.package
• simCompositorCache.package
• socialCache.package

If that doesn't help, make a list of the cc files that aren't showing up and test them individually.  Move the entire Packages folder to the desktop, create a new one, and move over just one file that isn't working.  Delete the cache files (again), load a save, and see whether you can find the file.  If you can't, list it for me and I'll test it in-game myself: it's always possible that the item is broken and won't work for anyone.  It's also possible that the file requires a pack you don't own, so please list the ones you currently have installed.

When testing, you can start a new save instead of loading your existing ones if you prefer.

@shaw000  Yes, you need to either create the Mods folder, and the Packages folder inside it, or download a Mods Framework like the one offered here:

So I've seen that you helped alot of people.. So I hope you can help me too. I've already tried everything on here, on all the "help" websites, youtube videos and all. But NOTHING is working... I don't know what I do wrong... It worked before, but not after i downloaded the game again.

(Tried removing the 4 files, new mod map and only one CC, graphic card stuff, and more)

@Fraulein02  Please post a screenshot of the folder that contains the mods, as in, I'd like to see a list of the mods themselves.  Include the address bar in the screenshot as well.

And please let me know what patch number you see in the launcher's lower-left corner.

@romanasebelova  Please post a screenshot of the folder that contains the files that won't load in-game.  Include the address bar, above the list of files and folders, in the screenshot.
