Good morning hope you're having a great day today, I have a question I hope you can help me with I just download S3PE to merge my sims 3 cc because i play back and forth between the sims 3 and the sims 4 however, when I downloaded it, it changed my regular. Package files to sims3package file (not the sims3packs you put in the launcher). SO, me being nervous about this I uninstalled this now I thought it would go back to normal, but it didn't, and I can't play sims3 or 4. Can you help me Please?
Hi loveprincessliyah!
There was no need to be nervous about S3PE changing your regular package files to "Sims3 package" files. It's just the file association that any program does when installed, so Windows knows which files can be opened by each program. If it were me though, I would use CC Magic to merge your package files because doing it through S3PE is more hard work and maintenance, especially if you keep changing or adding to your CC collection.
Do your Sims 3 package files still have the .package file extension that looks like the following examples? This is how my package files appear with S3PE installed.
If you can't see the file extensions at all, turn them on by clicking View in the menu bar of the Windows Explorer window, then check the box called File name extensions.
If they don't look like the above, I think the easiest thing to do would be to reinstall S3PE and see if that corrects them. If it does, you can go ahead and use S3PE as you originally intended or go the CC Magic route I suggested above.
If that doesn't correct your package files appearance, let me know exactly what state they are in at this point, perhaps with a picture so I can see all the details.
I'm afraid I can't help with Sims 4 as I've never played that game and know nothing about it, sorry. :-)
