How do I change a file to a package file?
You can switch between a single file and a package at any time. Open your file. Then choose File > Advanced > Change File Type, and select the type you'd like to use.
Download and extract your CC into My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads. To install just one Sims3Pack, double-click on it and the Launcher will open and install it by itself.
Move the unzipped files to the mods folder. This will typically be in a folder in “Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods.” If the “Mods” folder doesn't exist, you can make your own, as long as it's in the same location. Open The Sims 4.
Installing Package Files
package files have to be installed manually. Find your "The Sims 3" folder (or make one if you don't already have one) and create a new folder inside called "Mods." Your downloaded . package files go into the Mods folder.
You can also do it by right-clicking on the unopened file and clicking on the “Rename” option. Simply change the extension to whatever file format you want and your computer will do the conversion work for you.
A package file is a file format used in Apple computers (macOS). It is used most often by applications like Keynote, Pages, GarageBand, and others.
Windows can only unzip zip files. For rar and 7z you'll need an extra program like winRar or 7zip. If they are . package files, they go in your mods folder without unzipping.
Sharing Sims
Select Build Sims from the top menu options. Select Package Sims. Select the Sim you wish to share. Select Package Sim to File.
Pak files are usually located in the game's folder, which is typically in Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\.
Right-click on the file or folder.
Select “Compressed (zipped) folder”. To place multiple files into a zip folder, select all of the files while hitting the Ctrl button. Then, right-click on one of the files, move your cursor over the “Send to” option and select “Compressed (zipped) folder”.
What does it mean to package a file?
By definition, when packaging files, you essentially create a folder that contains the document, any necessary fonts, linked graphics, and a package report. Print vendors may not have access to all of the fonts and links used in your design, it is important that they have them when your file is ready to print.
Creating a new package folder
Select Edit> Create Packages Folder . The Package Folder Name window appears. Enter the name for the new folder. Click OK.
