Mods Folder

I've reset up my mods folder so often now that I don't even look for a pre-made package of file folders, I just set up my own.

"Setting up a mods folder" is quick to do. You can do it manually or you can get a premade (zip file) that contains all your folders that you put into the C:/YourUserName/Documents/Electronic Arts folder that your game folders are in.

Step One is: Make a New Folder (label it Mods)
Step Two is: Open up your Mods folder: Make two Subfolders in your Mods folder - Label the first folder Overrides; label the second Packages <---- This folder is where you will place all your mods that are labelled as .package

If you have a Sims3pack. Those go in the C:/YourUerName/Documents/Electronic Arts/Downloads

Step Three is: Open up Notepad on your computer. Copy the following:

Priority 501

DirectoryFiles Files/... autoupdate

Priority 500

PackedFile Packages/*.package
PackedFile Packages/*/*.package
PackedFile Packages/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Packages/*/*/*/*/*.package

Priority 499

PackedFile Test/*.package
PackedFile Test/*/*.package
PackedFile Test/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Test/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Test/*/*/*/*/*.package

Priority -50

PackedFile Probation/*.package
PackedFile Probation/*/*.package
PackedFile Probation/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Probation/*/*/*/*.package
PackedFile Probation/*/*/*/*/*.package

Priority 500

PackedFile DCCache/*.dbc

Save it as resource.cfg place it in the Mods folder.

When you are set up. Your mods folder should look like this:

File folder: Overrides File folder: Packages file that is titled resource.cfg

Ignore the cache folder in my Mods; I use it for other things.
