Sims 3 Mod help
Hello. I am trying to mod Sims 3 but I've been really struggling with loading issues. I'm playing on the Steam Deck with Pets and no other expansion. It will not load into the town at all, getting st...
@DragonKingUK95 The Steam Deck I believe boots up to a customized version of Linux. WAIT - yes you can multiboot. But your biggest issue is the game is proprietary. What that means is you don't "own" the game. If you paid for this game what you get is a license to use the software under the EULA (end user license agreement). This is not new. So what you are asking from the distributors web site is how to run this game on a machine that is not included in the system requirements. I think a better place for this would be Steam site.
I bought it on Steam itself and it runs fine without mods. Just trying to work out how to get my mods to work on it.
@DragonKingUK95 Which mods are you using? Please don't post links, but listing them is fine, or you can post a screenshot of the contents of the Packages folder.
Alternately, remove the entire Mods folder and download a fresh copy of the Mods Framework from here:

Don't add any more mods, at least not yet. Just see whether the two sample mods work, and if they do, you can add more mods a few at a time.
Whenever you add or remove a mod, be sure to delete scriptCache.package from the Sims 3 user folder.
I got over 600 mods easily. As for what mods I am using, I'm using several skins, including some nsfw realistic skins which I can't seem to get working. Nraas mods, mods for seasons and pets, such as no peeing inside, no digging and improved weather machine, tons of fixes such as item fixes.
After a lot of trial and error I can load in now no problem but I don't know how to tell if a mod is working or not. If they don't show up on the detected scripts pop up at the beginning does that mean they aren't working?
Note: I bought seasons today which is why I including those mods.
