Installing sims3packs without the Launcher: ANSWERED

[velvetmagras]

My launcher hasn't worked in so long that I've forgotten why and I don't really care. I won't be doing anything to fix it because I never liked it anyway and much prefer .packages.

So my question is this: how do I install sims3packs without the Launcher, specifically houses and Riverview? I'm using Delphy's Multi-Extracter (

Where do you put your house files? If you put them in the library I think they should show up. Not sure about Riverview though.

Ah, that might be it - I've been putting the houses the The Sims 3/Mods/Packages folder with the other cc. I'll have a try of putting them the The Sims 3/Library folder. Thank you.

[velvetmagras]

You are totally right; putting a house .package file in The Sims 3/Library folder means it shows up ready for placement. Thank you very much.

Did you figure out Riverview? I always wondered how to install that without the launcher.

Check out nameless cricke's post below - essentially I would need someone else to do stuff with their game files and then upload a copy of them for me (can you tell that the process goes a little above my head?). I don't even know where I would go to ask someone for this.

Oh lord! I tried to do it for my store files back when that thread was created and I made a complete hash of it - several times. And this was long before my launcher became inoperable. An excellent suggestion for other people, though.

Sorry, meant to say "An excellent suggestion, period" and then say "Especially for others."

Or I could take more time and read more thoroughly and realize that the link you gave me absolutely gave me the solution, and the file, I need. Much, much thanks.
