This cfg (configuration) file is a perfectly safe and can only be used by The Sims 3, but as cfg files are used for all sorts of apps, operating systems do treat them cautiously.

It should look like this:Ĭlick the link below and save this to your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods folder: Is there a Mods folder? If not, create the folder now. Once you have this file, you can add as many folders as you like, up to 5 nested folders deep, to organise your collection of downloads. To fix this, Electronic Arts created a configuration file that instructs The Sims to also search for mods within folders inside the main Mods folder.


However, by default, The Sims 3 does not support this and can only see mods in the top-most Mods folder, and not in any folders inside that. Many players like to organise their downloaded mods into folders.
