To avoid running against dodgy content or malware, always stick to the most trustworthy Sims 1 sites. A few may have obnoxious pop ups, redirect to dodgy websites or have malware. Some custom content can wind up messing up your game because there’s something wrong with the file.Īnother problem is that some of the websites that used to host content are so old that they have become vulnerable. This is less of a problem than it was back in the day, but is something you should be aware of just in case. Custom content creators will usually include this info along with their items, either on their websites or in a. So always make sure that you have the EP installed for whatever custom content you want to download. The browser does not check your installed game version.Not every object or lot that you download can be used in your game. Some items were only made for certain EPs.
This message means nothing if you are patched to the newest patch level.
Some Store content only works if you have a certain patch level. This notice is there for everyone as soon as the download needs a certain patch to install.
Sometimes it says please Update your Game. When you download Sims and Houses from the exchange, the website shows you which Store-Items and which Add-Ons are necessary for the download. This collection of changes allows players sims to feel more human, to make the events in their lives feel more significant, and to make managing their lives a more interesting challenge.

Add to Game does not directly install the content anymore as long as you have your game closed and you don’t install something else at the same time. After downloading a Sims3Pack you should never directly install it.If you have the download, the Sim will use it. If that happens, check the blogs or download if there’s any information on what package files were used. Since package files don’t spread that way, people downloading stuff are disappointed if a cool new hairstyle or piece of clothing, that’s shown on the exchange picture, did not come with the Sim and suddenly looks boring and plain. Often the picture in the launcher looks nothing like the download does in CAS and there’s no option to uninstall it from CAS. This often only shows after extended playing and once you do it’s difficult to find the culprit. On the negative side, you can’t tell from the launcher if those downloads are good or bad. On the positive side, all downloads that get installed this way, can be found in the launcher where you can uninstall them. Unfortunately it’s very easy to get bad custom content that make your Sims look horrible. Because of this, you need not fear to get mods in your game through another file. Those are Sims3Packs since package files do not spread that way.
