I installed Windows 10 and I had no problems for awhile. Now every time I download a package file to install, it tells me it is corrupted and won't open. Any tips?
That's because you're doing it wrong. ;) You do NOT open .package files. If it's already a .package file, you just drop it in Mods. You only need to open and extract the content if it's compressed (.zip or .rar are the two most common compressed formats.)
(And note: if you download a sim or a lot, they always come compressed, and you extract the contents into Tray rather than Mods. Only "regular" CC (hair, clothing, objects, walls, floors, etc) get put into Mods.)- Holy duh on my part! Thanks so much!

I can not find a mods file in my Sims4 folder. Can i create it? I am running sims through Origin since its the only way it will work on windows 10
Hello @jimjjf
Try checking to see if the mods folder may be in One Drive . If it is, it would be best to unsync Sims 4 and One Drive as it can causes issues.- Hello @Withered_Heart1
The package files sound like they have now been associated with notepad by mistake. You could try bringing it back to an unknown file association, then download another cc item that is a package item and it then may fix itself up.
This link explains how to make it have an unknown association.

I wanted to download the Extreme Violence mod. And I did.. Unfortanutely, when I tried to, there were no violence options. All i did was extract the files. Did i do something wrong?
Hello @SimsieSims .
Try putting the files directly into the mods folder.
With script mods, they can’t be more than one folder level down in your mods folder. You need to place the script mods either directly into the mods folder, or only in one level/folder in the mods folder.
For example, with the MCCC mod you can have
Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 -mods-MCCC
But you can’t have Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 -mods- Script mods- MCCC- I will say it only happens when using media fire to download CC from a website
- Colton141414Seasoned NoviceHave you tried using another file extractor, such as 7-zip?

- I am so used to having to extract most things, that I did not realize it was already a package file. This was the link
