Can't install other worlds, help! [SOLVED]

greetings;

I recently downloaded the sims3 all in one installer from here, and then proceeded to download the neighbourhoods but couldn't, 
if you know a way to fix this please let me know.

and here's everything I've done:

ps. I can't install w/ launcher since the game is all in one.


-tried installing via cc magic, (enabled, moved from default to custom category, rebuilt, refreshed) not worked.


-tried extracting with sims 3 pack multi extracter and then copy pasted the package files to the ea's sims 3 mods>packages, not worked.

that's all, I really don't know what else to do...

thank you.

Hello and welcome to the G4TW Forums @0ddpill,

This here is the best advice I can give you:

Code:

http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Installing_Worlds_Without_The_Launcher

This All-In-One repack was done by a former guest contributor on here (I won't mention his name because I'm not giving him any additional clout), and let's say it's not very good. Granted it's "easier to install", but these modified installers for The Sims 3 tend to be crappy.

The normal G4TW items of The Sims 3 are all based on original retail discs, and work flawlessly. At the expense, of course, of having to install them individually, one-by-one. 

You can use the method shown above to install worlds, because it's really the only instance where the launcher is needed. The regular Sims 3 store compilation from G4TW can be installed without the launcher (minus the included worlds), because everything is in .package file format.

Thank you for the welcome, I also followed the guide and it worked! ^_^
