Sims 4 packages turn into Sims 3 packages

Sims 4 packages turn into Sims 3 packages
When ever I download a new CC for Sims 4 the package says "Sims 3 Package" why is this happening, shouldn't they say "Sims 4 package"? and they have a strange icon now they used to just be a white paper, and when I right click on them "Open" says " Windows does not recognize this file type."
can anyone help me please? I have no idea what has happened :'( http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o197/pawpaws4/SIMS3/S4%20mods%20demo.png

    I fixed it !! B) :p <3 I went into CCleaner and went into my registry after deleting the sp3e file in my Program files (it wasn't in the installed content list) and sp3e errors galore, so I got rid of it all, restarted my PC and everything is back the way it is supposed to be :D http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o197/pawpaws4/SIMS3/all%20better.png

    Hello
    Do you have sp3e on your computer? If you do, remove it and see if it helps your issue.

    I did and I did, nothing happened, I even tried downloading a new hair (I think it was hair) just to see what it would come up as, and again it is a sims 3 package. same has happened to Sims Medieval, even all the Cache say Sims3 package, like the simCompositorCache etc. in all sims games.

    Try shutting down your computer completely. Then restart the computer again and see if the issues remain.

    Try downloading a new cc item and test to see if the same issue occurs, now that the program is no longer there.
