I just wanted to say thank you so much for explaining this. I recently deleted S4 and moved S3 from my laptop to PC. Apparently, the launcher isn't compatible with it. I have to open my game through Task Manager and cannot install Sims3Packs through the launcher. This worked for me! Amazing!

I was really wondering , how to pack the worlds

I got a cracked version of the sims 3 (I Had to update to the new EA platform and literally ALL of my packs were deleted and I am NOT repurchasing all of them) and only package files for CC work because there's no launcher so thank you smhhh 💞💞💞💞

Boiii it worked like superb!!! Thank youuuu!!!❤️❤️❤️ To those who want to try her method, it really is working! The downloaded sims are located in the pre-made button after placing the packages in the Mods folder.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Thank you, there's a lot that just doesn't want to download, so this video was so helpful, thank you :)

Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for agess

a heads up to everyone : do *NOT* convert sims3pack *patterns* to package file unless the creator said that you could ! if you do so, there is a *very* hiiigh chance that the pattern will not work and therefore create the "repeating pattern" glitch in create a style ! it's not harmful to your game, it's just that 1. the downloaded patterns won't work and 2. your create a style will be bloated with the same pattern repeating again and again (very fcking annoying if you ask me 😂) this is caused by the way patterns made in created a pattern are coded or something like that, they are all assigned the same "instance number" when converted which makes them appear all as the same so when converting a house, look out for the files categories as "patterns" in delphy's dashboard to either take them out of your game entirely or doing a long ass process to make the pattern usable as a package to those who are devoted to keep their patterns in .packages there is this very useful tutorial by ktarsims that teaches you how to do it. i tried it, it works, but it's tedious and time consuming especially if you have a lot. i will leave the link to her post if anyone is brave enough to do it lmao : ktarsims.tumblr.com/post/156605400183/pattern-hoarder-tutorial/amp hopefully that helps somebody, and maybe you too nicole as i've noticed that glitch in your game ^^ thank you so much btw for this vid, it was very useful to me when i got a new pc and reinstalled everything ! you are wonderful 💕💕

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUU!!! 😭😭❤❤ i literally love you omg

Thank you gurl :)

Wow, thank you so much! This was easy to follow and I really like your voice. (i hope that doesn't sound creepy lol)

this was helpful thank you

This helped me so so so so much! Thank you thank you thank you

Hi Floryda! I was wondering how to do this with the venues from the sims 3 store. I extracted and scanned in the dashboard but it does not show which is the lot file to place in the library. Please help!

Thank you!

every time i try to download the multipack installer it downloads as a package file and It wont let me do anything with it.. is there another way?

This video was SO HELPFUL! However, when I'm trying to convert a lot, I don't see the "lot" file. Im sure I'm not missing it, its just not there so I don't know what to do :(

Can you please do a video on how to use the OSMP mod

Can you install store content this way as well?

Can you do this on store items and when I try It comes out in a lot of files

Thanks for the tip on installing converted worlds! That's good to know. Would you happen to know why some sims don't install when I convert them to package files and place them in my mods folder? I just converted 4 sims and 3 of them don't show up in my CAS premades. I've never had this issue before.

Hi! Thanks for your tutorial! I had one question: when i installed a world, everything in my world has missing descriptions, for example a household description looks like "Gameplay/Excel/DOT06_World/ Household:BeachBumsDescription" instead of the actual description. Is this the same for you? Do I have to adjust everything manually? Thanks :)

Can this work through steam? Because when I do the worlds it says installation failed Make sure I have the latest version and I do so idk

This made my game extremely slow at loading the game up to the point where it took so long i had to forcefully shut the game down, I ended up taking all of the package files out of the game but the problem was still there so I had to uninstall the whole thing. I did everything you showed and I dont really see anyone else having the same problem :(

Can you do this with store content?

How about the installed content that comes with the world? Should I move the Library content to the shared bin folder also? I find that when I open the new launcher to install a world, after following the steps when I go into the game it shows me the file name for everyone on the lot. Any advice for this?

Commenting here because i've found no help for this online :( I wanted to download a sim from the store because I really liked them and I tried using the method you did with the sim files but I just keep getting weird files that are just jumbles of letters and numbers instead of a sims package file and I'm unsure what to do now :(((

How does it work with the items from the Sims 3 Store?

Thanks for this video, my game suddenly won't install .sim3pack files anymore and you definitely saved me! I have just one doubt: about converting lots you say you move all the CC files in the mods folder, and I was wondering if you can put them in te library folder instead.

Can yo convert Sims 3 Store Content?

Is it works with store content

After converting files, my game is now loading much slower than it used to. I really hope I didn’t just break it 😢

I know this is a older video but I just tried doing this and it worked with my cc but when I tried to convert a world a second sims 3 file didn’t appear i’m not sure why

LOVE THIS SM thank you🤚🏼😭💕 I have a question tho! Lets say im gonna convert lots (apartment, houses) that are already in use in my save, with cc decoration etc etc - when I convert it, will nothing change in the save file or???

Its saying Sims3packs not found in folder

When you convert store worlds like you showed you only get the world without the content, so no lot, shells, venues, cc ect. how else can you install worlds via package files without losing everything within in?

Hi Nicole! When I converted a custom world into a package file and put it into my The Sims 3 > GameData > Shared > NonPackaged > Worlds and trying to launch my game (with TS3PatchLauncher) it would just be a black screen with my mouse cursor loading and it did that for about 5 minutes before i just closed the sims through being on borderless mode. I removed it from the worlds folder and it continues to do the same thing, I was just wondering if this have ever came up in a comment or happended to you so if theres a solution please let me know! If not I can just try and repair my game! Thanks!

So once I've converted them into package files, do I move both files into my package folder, or just the converted file?

I can download the mod the sims dashboard but it doesn't tell me how to install it. When I click I get a list of info such as mad science etc. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Is it possible to do this with sims 2 pack?

The sims 3 dashboard won't open for me to convert the lots. I can open everything else but that. Any ideas? Update: after converting all the downloads to packages my game won't load anymore 😫

so honestly I don't know how this happened, but my sims 4 cc icon package file got changed and I am fucking pissed this is the 5'th time it happened.

when I try converting it doesnt give me one file it gives me like 20 miscellaneous package files for 1 sims3pack and doesnt let me load my game, how do i fix this?

Mac?

I found converting worlds like this doesn’t work for me. A bunch of rabbit hole lots were missing in those worlds, lot names and sim names were messed up, and saves in those worlds wouldn’t show up in the menu
