Hi there
I'm new, and have downloaded a few files from here
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15100.0.html however,
after following all of the correct instructions to the letter, whenever I exit the launcher and reopen it all the items I have installed have uninstalled, but are still present in the 'downloads' section.
Please can someone help me out? These are the instructions I followed:
How to install custom content
1. Download the file. It will probably be a .zip or .rar file, but it could be a .Sims3Pack file as well.
2. Is it a .Sims3Pack file? If yes, skip this step and go to #3. If no, unzip the file (using 7zip, winrar, etc.) and extract the .Sims3Pack file(s) to someplace you can find again.
3. Launch Compressorizor Redux (
http://forum.jfade.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=468) and click on the "Add Files to List" button in the lower left hand. Browse to the file where you extracted the .Sims3Pack file(s) (note: some files have already been through this tool before they were uploaded, but it doesn't hurt to do it again if you are not sure).
4. Click the "Go" button in the middle bottom. Some windows will flash up and disappear. You will get a pop up box saying that the operation was successful. Click OK.
5. Is the .Sims3Pack a Patterns, Lots, Households and Sims? If yes, install using the 3Viewer
http://forum.jfade.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=466 and you're done, I think (I haven't done this yet, so I have no further details on it). If no, go to step #6.
6. Double click on the .Sims3Pack, the Sims 3 Launcher will run and you will see your .Sims3Pack listed as a new item in the download section. A second window, the installer, will pop up and if everything works, will give you a Success! message. Click okay and you're done. I'm blocking the launcher from phoning home and everything is still installing correctly, I'm not sure what happens if you don't block it.
7. You can delete/move the .Sims3Pack files in the Downloads folder in your "My Documents" folder and you can delete all files from the DCBackup file without removing the CC you just installed.
I am using a PC.
I would really appreciate if, like in another thread like this I have seen, people didn't criticise me for not having searched the forum for help before posting my own thread, because I have searched both this site and the internet itself and have found nothing that helps.
Many thanks.
