Question about downloading The Sims 3 Store Updates file

Is there anything special I need to do after unzipping it and downloading it? Ive read the files on cracks before, is this the same process I'll be using with this? Oh, and for the record, you guys are the BEST for bringing us all the Sims 3 games! I always download from this site first, and your tech support is amazing! <3

Hello,

Well, this is the correct way to unzip it:

Open the .rar file you downloaded using only WinRar, which can be downloaded from www.games4theworld.org . (If you use any other software than WinRar, like WinZip or 7-zip, the files will get messed up!)
When you've opened the file using WinRar, select áll the files in it and drag & drop them to a folder on your Desktop. When the extraction is done, close the .rar file and open the folder on your Desktop.
Now, start by reading the included "# Installation Guide.txt" and you should be able to get the game to work yourself.

Besides that, I've also made an installation video on Youtube, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfAox_PivgI

Good luck and please let me know if you have any more problems!
