How To Download Custom Content For Sims 3 Mac Download
All though this process seems intimidating, it’s actually super simple.
Alright, so the #1 Thing you should know before installing CC is the two types of files. On one hand, you have your .Package files, and on the other you have your .Sims3Pack Files. These are the extensions on your Custom Content and are installed slightly differently.
Step 1: Downloading Content
First, (Obviously) You need to locate and Download the custom content you wish to put in your game. I have a list of my favorite CC sites here - and also over there on the sidebar. Some websites give you the option weather you would like to download as .Sims3Pack or as .Package - others come in Zip folders with both types of files. (In this case you could choose your preference in file) but most- just come as the creators preference. There are ways to convert .Sims3Pack files into .Package files, however we’re not going to get into that here.
Step 2: Unzipping Files
9 Times out of 10 they will download as .zip or .rar files. Typically if you are using windows, you will need a program to unzip the files. If you are using Mac, You can simply open .zip files by double clicking them- but you’ll typically need the help of a program to open .rar files.
WinZip is what I like to use, however it’s a little pricey- but they do let you have a thirty day trial. (Available for Windows and Mac)
UnRarxis great for opening .rar files, and super simple to use. (Available for both windows and Mac)

Here is more info on unzipping / Zipping folders.
Step 3: Installing content
Once you have successfully downloaded and unzipped your file, you should be left with a .package or .Sims3Pack file (Take note of where you extracted your file to.)
For .Package Files:
If you’ve extracted a .Package file then it’s pretty simple from here. Go to Computer>OS (C:)>Users>(Your User)>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3 and locate the Mods folder. If you do not have a Mods folder follow these easy steps:
1. Create a new folder (Right click>New Folder) in The Sims 3 folder. Name the Folder “Mods”. You cannot name the file anything else but “Mods'
2. Download the Resource.cfg file here. (Just Click on Resource.Zip and it should start downloading.) You cannot skip this step, it’s very important. You can find the Resource.zip in Computer>OS (C:)>Users>(Your User)>Downloads . Double click to open the .zip folder, inside you’ll find the Resource.cfg - place this inside your newly created mods folder.
3. Create a new folder inside the Mods folder called “Packages' You cannot name this anything else but Packages. This is where you will put your .Package files, so, with that being said place your .Package file Computer>OS (C:)>Users>(Your User)>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Mods> Packages . And that’s it, next time you load up your game your object should in fact be in game.
If you already have a mods folder, double check you have the Resource.cfg file and a Packages folder- if you don’t; complete steps 2 & 3 right above for those who didn’t have a Packages folder.
Mods:
Game Modifications (Mods) come as .Package files and are installed as such, they go in your Packages file. The safest place to get mods (and also the best place) is definitely http://nraas.wikispaces.com/
For .Sims3Pack Files:
1. Go to your The Sims 3 folder (Computer>OS (C:)>Users>(Your User)>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3) and Locate the folder called 'Downloads” - if you don’t have a downloads folder, just right click>new folder and call it Downloads (Yes, you must call it downloads)
2. Take your .sims3pack file and move it inside the Downloads folder you just located/created in the The Sims 3 folder.
3. Open your Game Launcher and click the dowloads button, just below the big play button- a menu of all your .sims3pack files will appear (If you have any that is) Locate the item you just placed inside the dowloads folder, click the check mark beside it and then install at the bottom left corner of the launcher. A loading screen should pop up, don’t touch it- just let it do it’s thing sometimes it takes a while. Once it’s done, hit Okay and you’re good to go.
