Inside the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Packages folder Check Packages Folder: Your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder should have two files inside it: NoBuildSparkles.package, and nointro.Joliebean's part of the Joliebean x Imvikai Karaoke Set for Teens and Adult females in The Sims 3įell in love with this set the moment I saw it. Note: The picture shows them with a little green plumbbob icon, and "Sims3 Package" under Type. It's okay if your icon looks like a Sims 2 package icon, a monkey, a white sheet of paper, or anything else, and the type may say "PACKAGE" or something else. No! You must have done something wrong.Everything okay? Do your folders look as they should in step 4 and step 5, with all the right files/folders in place? Icon and exactly what it says for "type" are irrelevant as far as working in the game is concerned - what matters is that it ends with.

You already have two package files installed, so you can tell right away whether things are working properly.


NoBuildSparkles.package: Nobuildsparkles will show that your custom content is actually working in-game.If the plumbob animation and intro videos no longer play (you go straight to the loading screen), then you know your. Go into build mode and build a wall, or a room.

Now that you know that package files are working right in your game, you can start downloading custom content yourself!

All of that is explained in detail on: TS3 CC Basics - go there and read about it if you don't know how to do that! Package files you've extracted into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages\ folder - that's the same place as the NoBuildSparkles.package and nointro.package files are. You can cut and paste them into the folder - just move them from whereever you extracted them, or extract them straight into that folder.
