How to Install "Sims 3" Downloads

"The Sims 3" custom content can be on "The Sims 3" Exchange or from player web sites. Make a folder on your desktop and download all your "Sims 3" files to the folder. Archive the files after installation.

.Sims3Package

Double-click the file and the game will take care of the rest. Gotta love the automatic download. It does take longer than unzipping all your downloads and moving all files at once. The good part is that automatic installs it ensures the files are in the right folders.

.Package

The .package files have to be installed manually. That's if you do not have the TS3 Install Helper from Mod The Sims. With this software, you double-click the file and it will install itself automatically.
