Re: store content and .sims3packs

★★★★★ Novice
@mangogirl10 everytime I try and play with some CC (all sims3packs) the game crashes. I thought it had to do with how much custom content I’m using but I’ve had no luck on this end

side note: it’s 1am here in AU and I’ve finally given up. hopefully someone will come up with a solution!

@puzzlezaddict I have normal package files on my game. Will that mess up my saves that use those files if I move the folder?

I was planning on merging my CC into one file to help the game run faster, is it possible to merge sim3.pack into a package file and see if it works that way?

After finding a solution on another forum, I was able to install .sims3packs. Simply repair your game. After doing this, I no longer received the critical system error. I am also now able to install store content. I hope this helps some people.


This worked for me too.

@Padmefan2017 How do I merge cc files on a Mac? I really need to 😩 You can’t merge the sims 3 packs and package files, just the package files i believe

@spookyorca Repair to add sims 3 store content but for CC from other sites like TSR I would add the packs to the downloads folder then install from the launcher

Re: store content and .sims3packs

@Padmefan2017 and @mangogirl10  The tool to merge .package files doesn't work in macOS.

 

@Padmefan2017  I'm not sure what you're asking.  Moving the Sims 3 folder will move your saves too, but you can put everything back later.  You can also load a save but later quit without saving, and any changes due to the absence of your mods or custom content won't be saved either.
