Hello I previously had another discussion about this, But I was given instructions on how from different websites and YouTube no matter what I did it wouldn't work. I want to mod Sims 3 Mac version and is it possible for it to be modded on OS X EI Captain? I have tried modding the game myself with the recourse.cfg I put my mod into the packages folder and loaded up the game nothing happen no pop up saying we found custom content it just ran as if I didn't have mods in the folder.
So if you know how to mod Sims 3 on OS X EI Captain please let me know and give me the instructions please! Thank you Oh and my game version is 1.67 I heard only 1.63 can be modded. First, please note that 'Help Center' is not a message board, it's a category. There is a glitch in the message board system that allows users to post threads here, but then almost no one can see them. I suggest you Edit this post using the gear wheel on the upper right and move it to the TS3 Mac Discussions board. As for the mods, couldn't possibly do any better than Bluebellflora's illustrated guide here. El Capitan isn't any different than its predecessors in this respect.
In fact, it's no different from Windows, but the illustrations tend to trip players up when they show Windows screens instead of those from OS X like Bluebellflora's does.
