Hello!
Alright, so I've joined this community because I am having a bit of a problem. It's name is "custom content."
So, I really want to add custom content to my Sims 3 game. Since I've already gotten stuff from the Mod The Sims site before, I went there and followed their steps for adding content. Only, it doesn't work. I've tried their method three times and even went about downloading a .package-installing program suggested by their CC installation FAQ. Still nothing.
I've tried patching up, but for some reason that's a disaster. My usual computer-savvy self can't figure out what the heck is going on with The Sims 3, and I'm beyond frustrated. (See icon.)
I was hoping I could get some help from you all here? Maybe you could tell me what you've done, any programs you use, or if you're having the same problem. I'm completely lost over here. D:
Thanks very much, and I hope this sort of thing is allowed. If not, just brush me under a rug and carry on.
Edit: I managed to patch up to the most recent base-game patch. I downloaded some more test custom content (Jeans) and moved them to my Mods/Packages folder. I loaded the game, and they're not in CAS. Whenever I right click them and ask to "Install to Sims 3" a message pops up and says they're currently in use. :S I'm so confused.
