@xSIRR_ @jr49j6dxk76j Thanks for that. I went to the Sims Catalogue and found the same issue. I admit I know nothing about that site but I am hesitant. I don't know why it's giving .exe files. I strongly recommend not opening any .exe files unless you absolutely trust the source. Actually, Windows Defender removed the 4K TV file which contained a trojan virus. I'm sorry you downloaded so many but I do suggest looking for these CC on a different site.
For example, since the Dual Channel dining room notes stated it was located on The Sims Resource, I tried getting it from there. It downloaded and unzipped with the normal .package files. So, perhaps you could try that site instead.
@JonaO703 thank you, ill have a look on a few other sites. i just found other sites didn't really have much compared to the sims catalog. i also looked on reddit and a few other places and people were saying it was trusted, safe etc.. so its really weird.
at least i now know its definitely the site/mods, so thank you.
@xSIRR_ You're welcome! I really can't speak to the trust level of the site. It's just that the experience I had with the two downloads I tried made me feel uneasy about it. Perhaps others have had no problems. I still don't know why the content downloaded as executable files. I don't think that's normal. At any rate, I hope you'll be able to find what you're looking for. Happy Simming!
I decided to look into this as the sims catalog (not catalogue) is rated as reliable. Are you sure you go to this url? https://thesimscatalog.com
The site does not host the files themselves but redirect to where they are hosted. For the Dual channel dining room that is the sims resource.
@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.
