Sims 3 CC not showing up in dashboard

I have successfully downloaded and used CC for Sims 3 in the past, but I have recently downloaded CC and when I went to my dashboard to put it in my game, it was not there.  These are package files and I always put them in documents- EA- TS3- downloads.

  • @dolphinabc123  Files that end in .package need to be installed like mods, as in, they go in Mods > Packages.  They also won't show in the launcher, just in-game.  This is a useful guide for installing .package-based content:

    Be sure to delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 folder as well any time you add or remove content from your game.  For reference, the files are:

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

    @dolphinabc123  What do you mean it didn't work: are the files not in your game, or are you expecting them to be listed as installed?  Did you double-check that they're really not in-game?  Some items look like they're for adults but are teen-only, or vice versa, and not all clothes are enabled for everyday.

    I went into the download dashboard and it wasn't there- I have clothing and hair items should they automatically be in CAS?

    @dolphinabc123  Please take a screenshot of the folder that these files are in; include the file path, above the list of files and folders, as well.
