STEP 5: Get a preview image of every single CC Also, if some cc is going to be used only temporarily, I just leave it in the folder and pay no more attention - as I will eventually delete it. I usually delete 20% of what I downloaded at this stage. Please go to the bottom of this post and read the guide in the featured comment section.ДЄfter converting files, I put all my new downloads in a folder named TESTING and check them in my game.

+В a simmer shared a nice tip to install worlds bypassing the launcher. I have those items installed in package format as well.

Note: Personally I even delete the items in the EA premium worlds prior to installing.

Actually I recommend you to read the whole site, if you havenвЂ™t. Read this tutorial by crinrict for more information. How annoying!!!! To prevent this, prior to installing the world, open the world file with CUSTARD and delete all CC in it. As we all know, those cc come with worlds cannot even be deleted without uninstalling the world itself. But what gets on my nerves is many custom world creators donвЂ™t even know they included unwanted CC in their files.

Worlds: As far as I know, worlds can not be installed without the launcher (Correct me if IвЂ™m wrong.) Well, it is bearable.

Put the house file in your Sims3/Library folder. Usually the biggest one contains the house info, but if in doubt, check the files through S3PE. Anyway, you can extract the Sim3pack through Sims 3 Pack Multi-ExtracterВ too.

Houses: I never download houses including cc either.

package and put it in your Sims3/Mods/Packages folder. sim in order to put it in your SavedSims folder. If you find it, DO NOT change the extension to. Open the files with S3PE and you will be able to distinguish those unwanted CAS files from the sim file. Extract the sims3pack through Sims 3 Pack Multi-Extracter and find some biggest package files among the remains. But anyway, there is a way to convert a sim3pack-sim into a package-sim.

Sims: I never download sims in sim3pack in the first place.

My point here is, anyВ unwanted cc included in Sims3pack should not be installed in our game without consent.

If you canвЂ™t tell whether a pattern was made with CВ®AP or not (which is highly possible as, for some incomprehensible reason, those CВ®AP pattern makers rarely mention what tool they used), read this guide.ДЇollowings are how to avoid houses, sims or worlds in sim3packs formats when creators donвЂ™t provide alternatives. The only things you can not convert into package format are all the counters out there and CAP patterns. package through Sims 3 Pack Multi-Extracter. Not to mention the tool tell you if you have corrupted cc as well.ДЄnyway, since I hate Sim3pack and the launcher so much, I convert every single items into. That way the tool can compare the contents of DCCache and Mods/Package folders at the same time. Open the Sims 3 Dashboard tool and select your вЂњDocument/Sims 3вЂќ folder to scan. However, you always have to make sure you donвЂ™t have the same item installed in both package and sim3pack format. IвЂ™m not forcing you to choose package over Sim3pack. It is okay if you love Sim3pack more than package for some reason. I also made a cc find blog and reblog when there is new cc IвЂ™d like to use in the future. +В Since Google Reader has been discontinued, I moved on to Feedly.

Above all things, I highly recommend to download any cc or mods from only reliable creators directly via their own websites. Thanks to Google Reader I can вЂњstarвЂќ the only items I want to download later.В And every 7-10 days, I go to download the starred items. IвЂ™ve subscribed MS3B and SunsetSims via RSS.

But isnвЂ™t investing a little more time in the beginning worth than constantly reinstalling all your EP/SP for 3 hours AND rebuilding your entire cc collection over and over? I hope at least a few people would find some useful tips from my obsessional behaviors, andвЂ¦ stop crying over their borked games. I know some people think my way of cc organizing is too much work. This is the fruit of my OCD know-how I have accumulated from experiences over many years. This is what the inside of my mod/packages folder looks like as of May, 2015. Trust me, not only havenвЂ™t I had a bad save caused by corrupted cc, IвЂ™ve never had to rebuild my cc collection just because I canвЂ™t tell one from another. Oh well, I still believe the more paranoid you are, the less likely your Sims 3 games are to bork. But it turned out that I was just one of the few cc paranoiacs. SoвЂ¦ yes, before joining Sims communities, I thought everyone was like me.

Recently a simmer asked me how I organize my cc, and I knew it was time to write this ridiculously long post. ++ I follow exactly the same method when organizing TS4 CC. Also, still getting questions regarding this post at time, I added some FAQ sections.

And I finally decided to update this post as there have been some changes to the way I organize my cc.
