How do I download a windows media player cc?

So I recently downloaded a mod for sims 4, and (this happens a lot with cc n stuff) and it is a windows media player file thing. I press it to see if I can do anything and it just takes me to windows media player. So since that does nothing I put it in my mods folder but it doesnt go into the game. Like its in the folder but I cant play or get it on the game. Please help!

The mermaid one (you can kinda see the name) is the one. Ive also tried downloading the fairy one, which I would like as well.

    The file icon is just what program your computer associated the file type with, so that should not be a problem. Do you have other mods that are working?

    If yes, could you right-click the file and choose properties, and tell me what it says after file-type?

    For example, System information file (.nfo) or PACKAGE-file (.package) etc.

  • Hi @bonily 

    Have you used many game mods before or just cc? A lot of 'plain' cc, doesn't need extracting as it's a package file to begin with. It sounds to me like you may have just 'clicked' to open or something like that, or your computer has 'chosen' the player to identify it since it's not something it's dealt with before.

    With most game mod files, they're in a .rar (zipped) folder they need to be extracted first with an app like win rar and others, once you extract them (I checked the Mermaids mod) you'll find about 3 package files, which can then be put into your mods folder. If this is the problem; do a search for win rar download, it's free and once you have that installed when you right click on the mermaids.rar file you'll have an option to 'extract here', do that in a 'clear folder', then copy / move them to the mods folder.

    Hope this helps, as I was wondering if you use many 'game mods' or ever needed the unzipping before as you say it 'happens a lot'?
