This is a step by step guide into creating a Mods Folder, for anyone who has never used mods before and doesn't know where to start. It may seem like a heck of a lot of work, but I assure you it will be worth it and also helps with game lag in Buy mode.Creating a Mods Folder/Installing Mods Step by Step Guide I hope this Tutorial is helpful to fellow OCD simmers. This essentially “hides” the items from the catalog, BUT you will still be able to see these items in your collection file in game.Īnd if you want to test that it works, head into game, click the collection you made and BAM! A new “category” for all those items you had laying around needlessly and scattered in misc decor or plants or wherever the heck they were. Find and click OBDJ, then Grid, and go through each Room & Function Category Flags and set it all to FALSE. ** Step Three:Īfter you’ve created your collection file for your themed cc, go into the folder you created of all the cc you just used and open each package file in S3PE. **If you don’t know how to create collections > CLICK HERE. You’ll find the correct collection you just created by checking the date modified, then you can rename it to whatever you like: (Example Below) Next, you create a collection file in game of all the items you chose in the first step, finding where you put them and clicking on them to add to a new collection. When you finish making the collection, close the game (You don’t have to save, it will still be in your folder under The Sims 3>Collections>User).

**If you don’t know how to Re-categorize cc using S3PE > CLICK HERE. Categorizing these right now is temporary, as ultimately after all these steps are done, you won’t even see these in your catalog, just the collection.

(I just stuffed all mine into Pets because it was the easiest I could identify the difference). It helps if you use S3PE to re-categorize them into a place you can easily find so you’re not hunting everything down. Copy the files of the themed cc you chose and place them into your mods folder. ***Note: This tutorial is taking into consideration that you may have or want to sort your actual cc package files, and thus know what each file is.*** (Example Below in which I’ve located all my hospital files and renamed them so that I know:) Step One:īack up your CC before you do this, as anything can go wrong, this is the sims after all.
