yea i have a vista too
i was also wondering that....
cause many people have tried to help me but i dont know what i could be doing wrong!
im going a little crazy

pictures would be an amazing help
cause some of us are REALLY BAD at computers (like me )
i get confused with everything in writing it kinda goes around in circles after awhile
AH i feel soooo dumb in saying these things....
but i just really want the hair
every other hair in the game is pretty bad

I totally agree I don't understand these directions I think I am doing it right but when I load the game, there is the same mohawk as always.......

Omg how did you do it with vista??? mine still is not working Im so bloody mad lol. it is frustrating. Can u take picturs of where u put it Please... thanks

For all users having problems, especially MAC users, make SURE you put the .cfg file in the ROOT folder.
The MODS forget to mention that, now the hair works perfectly for me!

Its not working for me, I am puting the resource file into the sims 3 folder and downloading the file into the packages folder but its not working when i start up the game.

You know you could just download Delphys Installer Monkey at modthesims, install it and then just double click the hair file and it will automatically install it where needed Or you can manually go to C drive (that's right place if you just installed where game automatically wanted to install) -> Program Files-> Electronic Arts-> Sims 3 put resource.cfg file here Create folder Mods and in it another folder called Packages and then insert the hair file in that Packages folder. So at the end you should have your files in folder: C-> program Files-> Electronic Arts-> The Sims 3 -> Mods-> Packages. Think of packages as your downloads folder or something and always insert everything in there. Hope that helps ^_^

no, macs has its own installation method.


In  Macintosh, the hierarchy is hidden within the Sims 3 application.
let me teach u to install custom content step by step:

Right-click on The Sims 3.app.

Choose "Show Package Content" from the contextual menu.

Navigate through: Contents > Resources > transgaming > c_drive > Program Files > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3. You are now at "the Sims 3 root folder".
Create a folder called Mods. (Attention: the captal 'M' and plural 's')
Double-click on it to enter the folder.
Create a folder inside Mods called Packages.
Paste any .package files in this folder to install them to your game. (for example, put our new skin and hair .package files there so u can use them in game.)
And, last but not least, dont forget to put the .cfg file in your room sims3 folder.
