Can't download CC for Sims 4? SOLVED.

Each time I try to download CC, I get this immediate message: "The archive is either in unknown format or is corrupt."

I have tried downloading it on both Google Chrome and Firefox with the same message each time. I use Windows 10 with Windows Defender and Bitedefender as my anti-virus. I've added the website that I want to download the CC from to the exclusion list for Bitedefender, though there doesn't seem to be an option to add it on Windows defender. I have Winzip already installed.

Help!?

SOLVED: ...I was assuming that it was a zip file and didn't even look at the dang file. It was already in package format. It's ok, you can laugh; I laughed at me too. XD

    .. But how did you fix it? I'm new to this and I have no clue why it's saying that? When it's .package, do you just move the file into the mods folder or something? Haaaalllpppp please. :)


    Yes, if it is a .package file all you need to do is place it in the Mods folder. She was mistaking .package files for zip files. If you do download a zip file you will need to extract the .package file before you place it in the mods folder.

    Just to clarify. .package files do not need to be opened. She was trying to open one. Just put it directly in your Mods folder.

    Here is a tutorial on adding CC and Mods to your game:
