Putting MTS downloads into game?

[chloe.94]

Hey all,

I can't get downloads from mts into my launcher, but I can get downloads from sites like annamarie sims and sims 3 cri into my launcher? I'm really rather confused! Any help would be greatly appriciated! Thank you all.

Unless the downloads you're talking about are lots, then the reason you can't get them in your launcher is because they aren't in sims3pack format.

You should check out the CC basics tutorial under the 'Help -> The Sims 3' menu at the top of the screen.

Great. Hopefully that will do the trick! Thanks very much. :-)

Specifically, you can start here: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_CC_Basics . That will help you figure out what file type you have (there are three kinds: .package, .sims3pack, and .sim). Most of the mods at MTS are .package files; other sites have different preferences.

The instructions for installing .packgage files are here: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Installing_Package_Files

Note that every download thread at MTS has an "Install Instructions" tab... you can also just go there ;)
