I'm just new to mods and things like that, but I've been playing sims 1-3 so I think I have an idea. I downloaded a free stuff here (Animals Abound etc) and "installed" it via launcher, when I run the game, the stuff I downloaded isn't there. So I used reddux and still get the same results. When I run 3viewer, it fails (it says "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"). The only thing I can think of is disabling the launcher (which I searched but sadly can't find, I only found ways for disabling launcher on mac but not on win 7) Can somebody please help me on this?
