Now when I know how to install them, I feel like an idiot. Okay, when I first tried to install a mod, I failed. When you have them post a screenshot, it looks nothing like the image in the directions. Again, none of these people are sitting down in front of a computer for the first time.Įven if an image is placed in the directions, people will swear up and down their folder looks just like the one in the image. People don't have a problem getting to the sims 3 folder under Documents (in most cases), they have a problem following directions. Everyone is playing 'The Sims 3' and the installation of game data files is the same. I am Windows Certified and the path on that operating system is pretty much the same. That's still not an excuse (in this case), because you're either running Windows or you're on a Mac OS. I won't disagree that everyone learns in different ways, as I have taught plenty. I just wanted to share my thoughts so the people who have had issues aren't afraid to ask for help when they need it. I think everyone on this forum is very kind and helpful and I appreciate everyone's willingness to help. So yes, while I learned about computers in school, I didn't always have one of my own to actually apply the info I learned to practice and as such the info kind of slipped away from me. Even a young person such as myself may not have always had access to a computer, which is true for me. Something may be mind-numbingly simple for one person, but it could be the equivalent to rocket science for someone else. I'd just like to emphasize again, everyone is different. Yes, I know, some people are actually lazy and if they can't figure it out on their own, they will head straight to the forums and start a topic on it when they could have easily searched and found a million old topics asking the same exact question. I don't think there is anything wrong with not knowing exactly what to do. I needed to look up videos on YouTube of people taking video of themselves actually setting up the framework/resource (the part that gave me trouble) to supplement the great information she posted for us.

I couldn't figure it out just from going off of the extremely well-written guide Blu posted. This is how it was with me for installing mods. Others, myself included, are visual learners, and have to actually SEE it being done before they can even attempt to understand it. Has anyone ever heard about the different styles of learning? Some people can just hear someone tell them how to do something one time, and then they can do it themselves perfectly. The bottom line is, everyone is different.
