Re: Sims 3 Mods Not Working

@elser2  It sounds like your game may not be updated.  The launcher has always been inconsistent with installing updates, especially with very old versions of Sims 3.  The workaround is to run the Super Patch, which EA created to patch the game to 1.67.  You can find it here:

http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/TS3_1.67.2.0240xx_update.exe

Your browser may flag it because its address starts with http rather than https, but you can see from the URL that it points to EA servers.  So if one browser won't download it, try another one.  Run the Super Patch and then see whether the mods work.

If they don't work, please list the location of the Mods folder, and also post a screenshot of the contents of the Packages folder, so I can see the files inside it.
