Re: TS4 mods not containing a .package file

@jpkarlsen    That is the url I used.  I misspelled it in my post.  Have you tried downloading files from them?  It does not redirect.  I just tried getting another CC from Sims Catalog and got another executable file.  For this one, it does not list where the original CC is hosted. 

Also, I did mention the Dual Channel dining room was on the Sims Resource.  That's where I got the files I showed in my screen grab.

Yes, there currently is an issue with redirecting. It just says "loading". You can circumvent this by rightclicking on "Download" and select "Open in new tab/window". What browser are you using that gives an exe file.? It may need updating.

@jpkarlsen    You're right.  A right click on the download button and then open in new tab will open the appropriate website.  Left clicking download actually downloads a zip file containing the executable.  The problem is with the website, not the browser.  I'm able to download the package files directly from the actual host sites.

@JonaO703 

I mentioned the browser might need an update because neither of my browsers that are fully updated gets an executable file,

EDIT: It appears that they have fixed the redirecting issue now but the site is very slow at the moment.

@jpkarlsen   My browsers are fully updated.  I didn't get the executable files from the host sites, only from Sims Catalog.  I'm glad they fixed the issue.

@JonaO703 

I'm aware that you got it from sims catalog. I was just trying to find a reason you and the OP got that when I didn't. Would you mind testing if it is fixed for you.

@jpkarlsen    I just tested the site and nothing has changed.  I searched for the Dual Channel CC that OP mentioned.  When I clicked download, I got a zip file.  When I unzipped it, there was an executable file but Defender removed it immediately.  However, I was able to right click to go to the Sims Resource, download and unzip the package files as normal.

Edit: That was using FF, so I decided to test with Chrome.  I clicked download but it "Failed - Virus detected".

@JonaO703 

Weird, both Edge and Chrome now properly redirect for me. Perhaps you should report the issue to them (Help | Contact Us) so they can look into what the problem is. To me it sounds like you somehow get the CGI script used to redirect as a download. This would be flagged as a virus as they are not allowed to run outside the browsers "Sandbox".

@jpkarlsen   I just tried it again and the Download button is redirecting for me now, although the site is really slow loading pages at the moment.  I don't know what was causing the issue but I'm glad to know what is supposed to happen for future reference.

@xSIRR_ @jr49j6dxk76j   I thought I might tag you again to let you know that the Sims Catalog site seems to be working now.  I feel a little bit better about the site now that I know it should redirect you to the host site and not actually give you a download as JP mentioned.
