		+	: The warnings are there because if they weren't, there'd be even more posts made in the help forum asking why it doesn't work when the package files are in My Docs/.../Downloads. Speaking of which, talk pages are not the place for questions - those should be asked on the help forums. ;)

	HELP!!!		HELP!!!
		+
		+	== My Documents? ==
		+
		+	There seems to be a really strong warning against putting anything in the My Documents folder, but never is any reason given why we shouldn't put things in the My Documents folder (or subfolders). I am in the habit of downloading zipped .package files into the My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder, unzipping and installing them from there. Since it doesn't matter where the .package files are, is there some reason I shouldn't be storing them in this folder?

	With the installation of the World Adventures EP, I had to move the Mods/Packages folder structure and the Resource.cfg file from C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 World Adventures. I also had to move d3dx9_31.dll from C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 World Adventures\Game\Bin to get my hacks to work. Perhaps this should be added to the instructions? Thank you!

		+	== Won't work ==
		+
		+	Okay, I have followed these instructions to a T (looked everywhere) and still No custom content. The files (not package files) that you double click on and they install always work but no mods. I have the resource file and the other file you need in the proper places and nothing.
		+
		+	It is like custom content cannot be enabled! (is there something like on the Sims 2 you click to enable custom content).
		+
		+	I am going crazy, reinstalled the game like twice to make sure i didn't mess something up. Anyone have a solution for me!
		+
		+	Mods are in C/program files/electronicarts/thesims3/mods/packages
		+	The resource file is in: c/programfiles/electronicarts/thesims3
		+	And the D3Dx9_31.dll file is in there as well!
		+
		+	HELP!!!

-Hi.
-Can the resource.cfg be edited to correct the last line of the missing "*"?

		+	: Because people on Vista with their permissions set up badly, which is after all most people on Vista, will receive an error if they try to extract into Program Files.
