How do I download sims 3 mods from other websites?

Hey I have a little problem with downloading stuff to the sims 3. I can only download mods from the website "the sims resource". It's a great site but I want to also download from other sites. Is there someone who can help me?How do I download sims 3 mods from other websites?
I'm guessing that you can only download things from the sims recourse because they provide Sims3packs to download. All you need to do for these is double click them right? most mod websites only give you package files. You will need a recource.cfg before you do anything else. Here are the instructions on installing these mods from peggyzone.com -



1) Put the Resource.cfg to your root Sims 3 folder. For example, if you installed Sims 3 to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3, that is your root Sims 3 folder. If you installed it elsewhere, change the following paths to reflect your install location. If there exists the Resource.cfg file in your root Sims 3 folder, you will NOT need to recover it.



2) Please create a new file folder named Mods in your root Sims 3 folder, then create another folder named Packages in Mods.



3) Then put .package in that folder ( C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages ) and the game will recognize it.



4) If the mod can not show in the game when it is installed according to the following instructions, please DELETE the temporary files in My Document\Electronic Arts\The Sims3. ( TIPS: 1. This catalogue is different from the one of installing MODs. 2. XXXXCache.package is temporary file. )



This is the same for any other sims3 mods, except that most don't come with the Resource.cfg. Once you place the Resource.cfg file you can just leave it there.



If you still don't understand go to this website, you can get the recourse file here as well- http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Si鈥?/a>How do I download sims 3 mods from other websites?
There is a site called www.modthesims.info they have both Sims 2 and Sims 3. You have to extract the downloads to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages, you have to make the Mods folder by yourself. I think modthesims is the best website for downloading mods.



Hope I Helped!!!
