I looked through the forum and could not find a thread already opened for my problem. If there is one, then I am truly sorry. If you could let me know how to find the thread I will go there, but if there isn't one, can someone please help me?
I have downloaded both the skins and the hair exactly how the readme file says to. The skin is there (AND I LOVE IT!) but I cannot find the hair. I tried creating a separate file for the hair and it did not work. I am not sure how to fix this situation. I am on my hubbies computer (my pc-xp is in the shop) and it is a vista.

I am having the same problem as well. I have read, and re-read the install texts, read the install help on the site. Unfortunately, the I can't get the hair in the game, I have looked ina ll the hair, in create a sim, from Adolescent to Elder, and haven't found it anywhere.... The male skin and female skin work perfectly tho.
My downloads also don't work, except the skin replacemants and the first hair which was uploaded. I also deleted the composiotorcache.package file, but they dont show up in the game. And I cant find the temporaryfiles, which peggy is talking about at the install instructions. So, what can we do?
Your download file will include: .package files(the face files) and Resource.cfg file. Please install as the following explanation.
1) Put the Resource.cfg to your root Sims 3 folder. For example, if you installed Sims 3 to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3, that is your root Sims 3 folder. If you installed it elsewhere, change the following paths to reflect your install location. If there exists the Resource.cfg file in your root Sims 3 folder, you will NOT need to recover it.
2) Please create a new file folder named Mods in your root Sims 3 folder, then create another folder named Packages in Mods.
3) Then put .package in that folder ( C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages ) and the game will recognize it.
4) If the mod can not show in the game when it is installed according to the following instructions, please DELETE the temporary files in My Document\Electronic Arts\The Sims3. ( TIPS: 1. This catalogue is different from the one of installing MODs. 2. XXXXCache.package is temporary file. )
I have the same exact problem. I deleted both composiotorcache.package file and the simCompositorCache.package file and the hair still doesn't show up. Help?
I noticed that I have two simCompositorCache.package located in my sims 3 folder so I am going to delete the other one. All of my downloads from TSR work perfectly including their hair, but thy only have a few styles. I will report back my progress.
