What does this program do?
This program (Similar to my Sims2Pack Multi-Installer) allows you to bulk extract multiple Sims 3 Pack files in a folder, extracting them to another folder (it doesn't have to be ModsPackages, it could be a staging area).
Please note! This is NOT a replacement for the Launcher. It will NOT give extracted packages the custom content icon. It is PURELY meant to extract Sims3Packs so that you may put them in your ModsPackages folder, or subfolders thereof.
How do I install this?
You don't. Just extract and run.
What do I need to run this?
You need .NET Framework 2.0. It has been writted and tested on Vista x32. No testing has been performed on Vista or XP x64. No testing has been performed in Mono.
How do I use this?
Run the program.
Select the folder with all your Sims3Pack files using the first 'browse' button.
Select the folder where you want to extract the files to using the second 'browse' button.
Click Install.
Thats it.
I used this and nothing appears in my game!
Please read the Help FAQs. Help -> Sims 3 -> Installing .package files.
Please note!
I will only answer questions in this thread directly related to the actual program. I will not answer questions asking how to install packages - we have FAQs for that!
Changelog
Changes:
- Added back in Clean Names, but with disclaimer - it only works on Sims 3 Packs with one package in them
- Removed error / information label to a status bar
- Added minimise button
- Renamed program to Sims3Pack Extractor, just to clarify what it actually does

Sims 3 Free Download Install
Mar 11, 2012 Mod The Sims Sign Up Free: Download Mods: Download 7-Zip: Download Framework Folder. Drag & drop the.package files you have to the following folder: (My) DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3ModsPackages 2. You're practically done now. When you start the game, you should get a pop-up about which custom (.package) files you have successfully added to the game. LOCATE THE SIMS 4 FOLDER. Open the folder for The Sims 4 Mods. It's located at: DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 4Mods If the 'Mods' folder is missing, you should not be installing animations yet. MOVE THE FILES. Drag any PACKAGE files directly from the archive manager to the opened The Sims 4 Mods folder. Then, you just put any.package files you've extracted into your DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3ModsPackages folder - that's the same place as the NoBuildSparkles.package and nointro.package files are. You can cut and paste them into the folder - just move them from whereever you extracted them, or extract them straight into that folder.
