Like Jpkarlsen mentioned the package files aren't meant to be opened.
If the custom content files are .package files they can be copied to - C:\Users\Username\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods
If they are in .zip or .rar format. They they need to be extracted into the same folder as above.

The .package files in my game aren't associated with anything. That's by default.
If you want to change the association of your .package files, here's an article that can help with that.

- 7 years agoI've looked up everything you said in my folders and it says that the "The Sims 4" file and the "Mods" file isn't a thing in my computer. I don't have a folder with C:\Users\Username\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods. The CC either isn't going into the place it's supposed to be or something obviously is wrong with my folders.

Ah okay, I think I might know why. Try logging into Origin and go to the Games Library and click on Sims 4 to play. This should create a new Sims 4 folder for you.
Once the game creates the Sims 4 folder, you should be able to find the Mods folder within it.
- 7 years agoIt still isn't working. I can't even find any mods folder. I honestly don't know what's wrong with my game

@e29960f376f5dcea You can change the file type association in Windows 7 control panel - default programs - associate a file type or protocol with a program.
