# Installation Guide
# Installation Guide
- www.games4theworld.org -
NOTE 1: this guide assumes you have no store items of The Sims 3 installed.
Therefore, installing this set can lead to duplicate items.
Be advised!
NOTE 2: After installing The Sims 3, you must have started the game at least once
in order to be able to
install the store collection!
NOTE 3: this store collection already includes the "mod framework" for installing
custom-made game content in the .package file format,
as well as the latest available version of the "store fixes".
1. Copy and paste the folders "DCBackup", Downloads", "Library" and "Mods" into the
following location on
your computer: C:\Users\(your username)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.
2. When prompted, choose "merge folders" and "copy and replace (all) files" or
"replace files in the destination".
3. Now you need to open the "The Sims 3" launcher, in order to install the
neighborhoods. You can open the game launcher
by navigating to the Game\Bin-location of where you installed your base game. By
default, that
will be under C:\Program files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
5. In the launcher-window, go under the tab named "Downloads". You should now see
the neighborhoods showing up
there. Tick the boxes next to each neighborhood. Once all boxes are ticked,
click on "Install", at the bottom
of the launcher window. Wait for the installation of the neighborhoods to
complete.
6. Done! You are ready to play the full The Sims 3 store collection!
Many thanks go to the uploader "rachelstoolbox" for creating the initial version of
this collection. However,
for this final Games4theworld-version, we allowed ourselves to make some slight
modifications. The most
significant of these modifications are the addition of the store updates from July
to August 2014, and
modifications of lot/building names for some of the included items.
