The Sims 3 Mods FRAMEWORK 1.0.0

In order to use ANY Mod  in The Sims 3 – you need a “Mods” folder in the main “The Sims 3” folder.

 

Download "Mods folder Framework - Install.zip" and place in a new folder.

Extract the zip file to its own folder.

Move or COPY the ENTIRE Mods folder to your ...\Documents\The Sims 3 folder.

Now you can start placing your Mod package files into the Mods\Packages folder.

Play the game. No installing is required. 

 

 

It is easy to create one.

Make a new folder in Documents\The Sims 3 folder. Name it “Mods”

In that folder make 2 more folders – name them Packages and Overrides respectively.

Copy the “Resource.cfg” file printed below and paste in a new Notepad document. Save this document to the new Mods folder as a text document, with the following name “Resource.cfg”

 

What a mods folder looks like

 

Mods (folder)

                Resorce.cfg (file)

                Packages (folder)

                Overrides (folder)

 

I’ve set up one as a download for you. Or you can follow the directions above.

Just place the ENTIRE Mods folder into The Sims 3 folder. That’s it!

You can now put your Mods into the Mods\Packages folder.

 

The “Resource. Cfg” file contains the breakdown on what folder in the Mods main folder has what priority for loading.

 

(Resource.cfg file)

Priority 601

DirectoryFiles Files/... autoupdate

 

That line of code is at the top
