I'm on Windows 7(I think) and I'm attempting to install the mod master controller on my copy of sims 3 but it does not seem to be working. I downloaded it properly and put it in the correct folders, but it is not showing up in game.I have even tried installing the test files for installing mods(without master controller in the mods file) and those don't work in game as well. I've followed the instructions from sources and have even started over and tried instructions from different websites but none of them seem to be working. I'm wondering if I'm doing it incorrectly? I've downloaded a framework zip. file and extracted it into the sims 3 folder which created the Mods folder and had the test files in them. It seems simple but when I launch the game the no intro mod doesn't work and there's still sparkles in build mode. I My desktop shortcut for the sims 3 have an access thing on them(it asks me if I'm ok with allowing the game to make changes to the computer instead of simply launching it) which I put on by mistake and have no idea how to turn off, so I don't know if that's what's interfering with those mods. I've installed CC, all furniture and one car, to my game before, but I've cleaned them out of the folders before trying to install this mod. Some of the CC would install properly, but not all. Sorry if this is some silly mistake on my part, but could someone help me?

There could be conflicts for the mods. Also, did you unzip them?

  To help you further, please carefully read and follow the following:
  
  First, double-check your setup: These instructions will take you through the things you should check yourself: Package Files Not Working. You may be able to fix the problem yourself using those instructions.
  
  Still not working? Then we will need ALL of the following information.
  
  1. What is the version of your base game?
     Windows OS: Game Help:TS3 Patching Find Gameversion^wiki
     Mac OSX: Find Gameversion#info.plist
     
     Copy and paste the indicated line from the skuversion.txt or info.plist, from the respective locations shown in the Find Gameversion Wiki, which would show you how to navigate to the following path: \Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin

  2. Take THREE screenshots... one each of the following locations, with the Explorer/Finder window showing the Details View:
     • Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\
     • Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\
     • Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages
     
     ... and attach them to a post on this thread. Click Go Advanced and then Manage Attachments. Or if it says the pictures are too big, you can upload them to modyourpanties.com and copy and paste the links.
     We have a guide on how to take screenshots if you need assistance: Game_Help:Screenshots^wiki.
     
     Make sure you set your folder view to Details mode, that you have file types showing (.package, .cfg, etc. on the ends of the filenames) and expand out the Name and Type columns so they're fully readable!
     
     
  3. Open your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\resource.cfg file in Notepad/TextEdit and copy-paste its contents here.
     
     
  4. Right-click on Resource.cfg and check Properties. Is the file name Resource.cfg or Resource.cfg.txt or something else?
  
  

GameVersion = 1.0.631.00001

I have my screenshots attached

I hope I got everything!

You need to patch your game to at least version 1.12. You can do that from the game launcher, or you can download the patches yourself from here: Game Help:TS3 Patching^wiki

Thanks so much! I had the same problem as OP and this must be the solution because my game is really behind on updates I found out! Downloading the patch now. ^.^

Even though it says 1.0.631 etc. on the skuversion, in my launcher it says I am up to date(version 1.67 etc) and don't need to update.I'm downloading the super patcher now, but if it says I'm up to date, will it even work?
