- This game guide is only for The Sims 3
Ok, so I know about this issue where users want to put their content on The Sims 3 website, but can't because they keep getting errors when registering their game. I, myself, have discovered some stuff, like where the files ready to be uploaded goes and the file extensions (I mean, I'm that one guy always peeking inside the game files, am I right??), so let me explain how to get your Sims 3 content online without having to register your game!
To Create-a-Sim![edit | edit source]
This is probably a simple process. It's at least 7 steps long, but let me help you out. The first thing's first, open up Create a Sim. This can be done via the Edit Town feature. If you want to upload a Sim you already made, then instead turn on cheats by using testingcheatsenabled true. Then, shift-click on the specified Sim, then click on Edit Sim.

Next step is sharing the Sim. If you decided to create the Sim, please do so first. Once you're done, click the 3 dots on your Sim's portrait. If you're creating a werewolf, make sure you're currently editing their human form because it's not possible to open up the menu when editing the werewolf form.[TS3:SN] There, click on the second icon.
Name the Sim[edit | edit source]
You will be prompted to give a name. Just use the Sim's first name if you want.
Also, the description won't matter, so leave it blank.
Open the Launcher[edit | edit source]
This will then bring the Sim to the Uploads that are waiting to be uploaded. Now, click the three dots on the bottom left corner of the screen, and click Open Launcher
Go to Uploads[edit | edit source]
Here, you should now click the Uploads button. Here, you will see all of your shared content, including your Sims. To find your Sim quickly, click the Sim filter. This will filter your content to only show Sims and households.
Show file[edit | edit source]
Once you find your Sim, click on it and click Show File This will bring up your file explorer to the shared Sim's file. All content that are to be shared will be added to C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Exports\{FILE} as a .Sims3Pack file. Now its ready to be uploaded to where you usually host your files from! This same process goes for lots, custom styles from Create a Style, Worlds, households, and pets.[TS3:P] Except for households, styles, worlds, and lots, you don't go to CAS to bring them to uploads.
