sims 3 custom content not showing up

@sunnysims101  Custom content that comes in .package format needs to be installed like a mod.  Here's a good tutorial:

@sunnysims101  Did you delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 game folder in Documents\Electronic Arts?  They should be deleted every time you add or remove mods or custom content from your game folder.  For reference, they are:

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

@sunnysims101  Can you post screenshots of the Mods folder and the Packages folder inside it, both with the file path showing?  (It's above the list of files.)  In Windows, hit Windows key-shift-S and drag your cursor over the part of the screen you want to capture.  Then you can click the notification in the lower right corner of your screen to see the image, or you can open Paint and crtl-V to paste it.

@sunnysims101  You don't have a resource.cfg inside the Mods folder.  There should be instructions on the page I linked for how to get one.
