Install Trouble - Mods not Registering at all

Post by humblebee » February 3rd, 2018, 2:16 pm

Okay so, I've been following install steps, have the latest version of mods, have the framework/correct folders and the resource.cfg, but mods won't register at all.

I'm not getting the popup re mods installed when the launcher comes up, and this seems to be a wider problem with cc as well. Only some installed cc appears in game and they are the sims3pack type, while others and normal .package types won't show at all. (all cc is for sims 3)

I have the latest patch/version of the game through origin, along with all expansions and stuff packs.

Sorry if I'm not posting in the right location

Hi humblebee and welcome to NRaas. You are posting in the right place..no worries:)
I know you advised you have the framework/correct folders installed but would you please take a look at the Illustrations On The Framework Page and confirm that is what you are seeing in your folders.

You won't see a custom content (objects hair CAS stuff) pop up when you load the game.
What mods do you have installed that are not showing when the game loads? There should be a pop up for those.

Also - Are you on a PC or MAC. I'm not certain playing through Origin would make a difference. Someone else will be able to help you with that.

If you have NoCD installed then you won't get that popup. It disables the popup have you checked in game to make sure that the mods rare working or not?
The popup in it's self only means that the game detected mods and it only does it for script mods. Tuning mod and other types of CC installed as packages won't show up on that pop.

Yup that is what I'm seeing in my Mods folder.
I'm on a PC

I realize that I won't see the CC pop up when first loading the game but it's not appearing inside the game.

None of the mods are showing up- and I have quite a lot I'm trying to use.
Here's a link to the screenshot of the mods I'm trying to use, some of the Woohooer ones are cut off https://imgur.com/a/5d9o7

@sittingbear, no mods or sliders are showing in game, all I see/can use is what's provided by the base game

Try replacing the Resource.cfg with the one here http://nraas.wikispaces.com/file/detail/Resource.zip

humblebee - you won't see those until you want to chage settings or induce some action. When you click on City Hall>NRaas do you see those mods in the NRaas Tab when selected?

And if you haven't already delete these in your Documents (not Program files)>EA>The Sims 3 folder
CASPartCache.package
compositorCache.package
simCompositorCache.package
scriptCache.package

It's best to delete those when you add or remove mods the game will regenerate them.
