Happy Simming!


OK the first step in setting up the resource.cfg so that mods/new data can be recognized you are going to have to get the resource.cfg from peggy's file

Once you have gotten the resource.cfg extracted it is pretty simple ok now you are most likely asking where does this go I am confused.

I have seen some people put the resource.cfg into C:/My Documents\Electronic Arts/The Sims 3. This is incorrect it does not go there. It goes in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

What we want to do now is copy the resource.cfg file we just got from peggys file after extracting it and  paste it into C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

We have now successfully added the resource.cfg!

Now here comes the final step:

Ok now that we have the resource.cfg added to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 you now want to create a Mods Folder in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

Once you have the Mods Folder created open it up now you want to create a sub-folder called Packages and once that is created we are finished and have successfully completed getting the resource.cfg installed and now mods/new data can recognized by TS3 !

When you download any mods/CC they are to go into C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages

Notes: Once you add the Resource.cfg there is no need to add any additional resource.cfg files.

The reason you see the resource.cfg in a lot of the mods/hacks downloads you download is modders are including these for the down loaders who may not have the resource.cfg.

Btw I had to change the name of one of the files, I forgot the name, to program files, So I could put the Resource.cfg  in it.

would that have worked??

beacuse I couldnt find  program files, so thats why i did it.  

But Thats were my  Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 game was stored, before.
