Problem with the Sims installation

Hi all, im sorry if this have been posted before but i did search and nothing like this popped up. The issue is: executing the setup when it is almost done it says, feature/component transfer error. Then nothing happens at all. Moreover i have tried to install the sims from other paths (Sims 3 and Sims 4) and when the installation is done nothing happens. There is no folder where i can put the crack or anything like that. Just nothing, the folder is not anywhere in my computer, no icons on the desktop even if the installation is successful. I havent found any clue of what this could be caused by. If someone could bring a little bit of help with this issue would be rly nice. Thx in advance for looking into my post

Most problems are caused by not extracting the download with WINRAR !
If you can't find your installationfolder, do a search for TS3 (Sims 3) or TS4 (Sims 4)

Hi again, ty for the fast response. I did extract correctly the sims 3 the complete collection in a folder. The thing is thar when im installing pops up the file transer error or whatever. And then nothing happens, is the same thing with the sims 4. I do install it correctly and then whem im going to apply the crack, there is nothing, no desktop icons, no installation folder after the installation... its like it was vanished. I did check the registry, nothing at all about that. Idk what to do..
