If the opportunity is connected to a Sim’s school, the reward may be increased school performance. Skill opportunities are requests by neighbors or community members for Sims to solve problems using their acquired skills for cash or relationship rewards. Career opportunities such as working overtime or completing special tasks can yield a pay raise, cash bonus, or relationship boost. Challenges occur randomly based on aspects of each Sim’s lifestyle, such as relationships, skills and job. The game play is open-ended and does not have a defined goal. Players control their own Sims’ activities and relationships in a manner similar to real life. It is a life simulation game and the third installment of The Sims series.
Move a small chunk of packages into DocumentsEletronics ArtsThe Sims 3Downloads (This is the part where having a back up of your Mods folder will give you peace of mind).Īt this point, all packages in your Downloads folder have been moved to DocumentsElectronic ArtsCC MagicContent and CC Magic is waiting for you tell it what to do.The Sims 3 is built upon the same concept as its predecessors. I recommend that you add packages to CC Magic in small chunks, so you have an easier time sorting through the content in CC Magic. If you would like to move many of the packages from your mods folder to a place where CC Magic will process them, lets do that now. You should see a text box labeled Additional Resource.cfg entries and it will have the information for the Overrides folder in it. To check that CC Magic will load your Overrides properly, click on the Options tab. If you use an Overrides folder, CC Magic wont see that at all, but it will notice you have a higher priority for your Overrides folder. Otherwise, you may need to launch CC Magic from the Start Menu.
If you let it create a shortcut, it should be on your desktop. Those steps are not required to make sure you dont mess up your game, but you will have peace of mind for doing it.Īnd who knows, you may thank me later for making you back up your stuff. If you havent completed them already, go do them now, seriously. To do this, find the CCMagic2920Setup.zip you downloaded from ModTheSims and double-click on it to open it.
You may also want to move the contents of your Library, SavedSims, and Saves back to the new folder.īy removing the Downloads folder before you install CC Magic, you will prevent CC Magic from being able to install anything in the downloads folder.Īlthough this is not strictly necessary, it will give you some added security that CC Magic wont install anything right away. Tip: You can keep your in-game settings (such as graphics and life-span) by placing a copy of the Options.ini file (found in your old The Sims 3 folder) in the new The Sims 3 folder. Then start your launcher so it will regenerate missing filesfolders. However, backing up your entire The Sims 3 folder will ensure that you can very easily return to pre-CC Magic installation should something go wrong. It will make organizing your CC a breeze, and will significantly reduce the amount of time you spend organizing it yourself. If youre not sure about using CC Magic, check out my recommendation: Recommendation: CCMagic (its true, Im a Late Adopter). This tutorial should also be of interest to people who have tried to use CC Magic in the past, but were frustrated with process, or for people (like me) who panicked when they used CC Magic for the first time.
Its up to you to know how to do that (or ask in the comments, or on my simblr ).
I will not focus in-depth on downloading and installing CC Magic. How did your games disappear Whenever I want to save a game and do a clean install, I send the sims game to recycle bin and then restore it. Im realllyyy upset right now over this because I worked so hard on the sims I made, they was doing good, had kids, a nice house and job.
