Could someone please once and for all clear this for me. Exactly where does mods and package files go? Into into Sims 3 file in "My documents" or into Sims 3 file in "program files"? I've looked several different quide pages at the net and one says this way and the other says that way. Even in forum threads players are advising against each other. Maybe I'm just being incredibly stupid. Grin 

I have Mods file in "My documents -> EA -> Sims 3" and everything seems to be working just fine. Downloads show up in the game and mods work without a problem. Still, after installing Delphy's Monkey helper, I noticed that now I have another (empty) mods folder in the Sims 3 file at the Programs file. Oh, and I have all the EP's. Do I have to move everything now? huh

It depends if you have patched your game.

Okay, so I have everything where they supposed to be. Great. And thank you. Now I know that I can just ignore the mods folder in Program Files and all the other advice there seems to flying around. Hmm, or should I delete that extra mods folder? Can it affect the game negatively or will deleting it have the same effect?
