5 mar 2021 · Move CustomWorld.world to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds. You will see SunsetValley.world in the same folder; Move the remaining .package files (if any) to your Mods\Packages folder; Test your game; Replace CustomWorld with the name of your Custom World Optional
Put the .world in the following folder: (x86) Program Files > The Sims 3 > GameData > Shared > NonPackaged > Worlds. You should see the file Sunset Valley.world already there. Done!
For this .world file, since it replaces the original .world file provided by the game, you are supposed to put it into: [installation folder, NOT My Documents] \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 3 Pets \ GameData \ Shared \ NonPackaged \ Worlds.
Downloaded worlds (including store worlds) are stored in C:\Users\username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\InstalledWorlds. Expansion worlds have a similar path in the corresponding expansion's data.
As an aside, you can also use this method to install custom content in sims3pack format, such as clothes, objects, makeup, etc. into your game via the Mods folder instead of the launcher. This gives the added benefit of being able to easily find a piece of CC that you want to remove.
Custom content comes both in .package and .Sims3Pack files. .Sims3Pack files go into the Downloads folder. (C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads) Open the Sims 3 launcher > Downloads tab, select all and click Install.
