Problem with update 6.2.4.010001 on Sims 3 - installed mods does not appear in the game!

[Elena110285]

Hello everybody!

I face a major problem during the game! I have all the expansion packs of the Sims 3. I have WinXP installed on my computer. Well, I downloaded many mods from this site and they used to work properly all the time. Before 2 weeks I had to make a format on my computer. I reinstalled the Sims and I placed the mods in C: --> Program files --> Electronic Arts --> The Sims 3 --> Mods --> Packages (I created the file Mods/Packages). Then I tried to run the game, it loaded correctly, but the mods does not appear on the game. I cannot find them anywhere during the game. I have to mention that started after the update 6.2.4.010001 was installed on the game. I tried again without install this update, but the game refused to start without this update.

So, what can I do?

P.S. I tried the MTS_Delphy_1040635_MonkeyBars & MTS_Delphy_1048017_Sims3Dashboard & ProcessMonitor. Nothing happened!

Link to the proper FAQ: Game Help:Installing Sims 3 Package Files - you shouldn't be putting anything in Program Files. Do the "old way to the new way" and move it to Documents. And you also need to make sure the mods you're using are compatible with your game, because patches can make old things stop working. Good luck. :)
