How To Add Mods To Origin Games

After you have downloaded the.zip file of DAModder, you extract it wherever you want the modmanager to be. From th eextracted content there should be a file called 'DAModder.exe'. You will now have a window where all your installed mods and DLC will be shown. It should be able to automatically find your installation folder, so you can start modding right away.Any future mod you download from now on (choose manual download) will give you either a.dazip file, a zip file, or a.rar file.

Either kind works the same in this case. Then just drag and drop this dazip/zip/rar file to your DAModder window, and it will install it for you in seconds. In some cases it might complain with a pop up window, but then that usually just means that you need to open the rar/zip file and extract its content straight into DAModder. Then it should work as intended.Note that there are some specific mods that will need to be installed in a very specific way, where DAModder wont help you, most notably:Improved atmosphereDragon age redesigned.There are however clear installation instructions for these mods in the readmes. And you should ALWAYS read the readme either way.
Available Mods for The Sims'Modding' means different things to different people, but much is possible in 'The Sims 3.' For example, you can install mods that merely change the surface appearance of your Sim's wardrobe or that drastically overhaul core components of the game. More advanced mods like the latter allow you to bypass in-game restrictions, such as removing the censoring mosaic.Installing Custom ContentEnsure 'The Sims 3' is fully patched; when you open the launcher on an Internet-enabled computer, you'll receive a message if any new updates are available.
When you find a mod that's compatible with your patch version, extract it with a file extractor like WinRAR or 7-Zip. Depending on what you're modding, you'll either have a.package,.sim or.sims3pack file inside; where the file goes depends on its type. In any case, you'll need to download and extract a file to allow mods in your game (see Resources). Open 'DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3' and extract FrameworkSetup.zip directly there; this creates the 'Mods' folder where most mods will go. Installing Specific ModsIf your mod uses a.package file, you can drop it right into the 'Mods' folder. Use the 'Downloads' folder in the 'Sims 3' folder instead if you have a.sims3pack file; in the launcher, you can click the checkmark next to the mod you just added and click 'Install' to add it to your game. Finally,.sim files will go in the 'SavedSims' folder instead with no further action required.
Where you find your modded content in-game depends on what you installed; for instance, custom Sims and clothes appear in Create-A-Sim, whereas new objects can be found in Buy or Build Mode.Troubleshooting and Removing Broken ModsIf 'The Sims 3' runs smoothly without mods and starts acting strangely with them, something you installed is most likely causing the problem. The best way to tell which mod is the culprit is to disable all of them and enable each of them again, one by one.
How To Make Game Mods
The only way you can 'disable' a mod would be to move it to another folder temporarily while you troubleshoot. To remove a problem mod, just delete it - but make sure your family isn't actively using something the mod added, or else you may not be able to load the save.
