How do I download Sims 3 Custom Content?

Question by molly123: How do I download Sims 3 Custom Content?
I really need help with the CC on sims 3. The only CC I have are from downloading sims straight off the sims 3 website that already have the content on them. there is so much stuff that I want to download but I have no clue how to! I don’t want to do something wrong though and crash my game or computer…Right now I’m creating a movie on sims that is based on a teenage girl’s life and a lot of the movie is going to take place at school. I really wanna download some classroom things to make my movie better (i found it at http://www.spring4sims.com/2010/04/in-the-classroom-by-around-the-sims-3/). That’s just one of the many things I would like to download! So if you could please give me some easy directions that a 13 year old girl would understand I would really appreciate it! I just don’t know anything about computers 🙁
I have a Dells Windows Vista if it makes a difference…

www.modthesims.info is the best (and most reliable) site to download content, I’m 100% sure you won’t get a virus downloading something from there (however you need to make an account, very easy and free)

Installing custom content; right click start, explorer, then C:/Program Files/Electronic arts/Sims 3

Then you need to place .package files in the Packages folder in the folder Mods.. if that folder does not exist, create it

But some files (like houses) are simfiles or something, al you got to do with these files are double click and they will install themself

I hope you can understand all this, If you have more questions.. just email me
