I have downloaded a few mods for TS4 and they're not containing a .package folder, instead they're containing a .application folder. i messed about with it for a while and got them to show up in the...

@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.
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.
@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".
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.
