Parents don't need to know. It's none of their business, and if the child wants to have the mods installed, there's nothing wrong with it. Parents, butt out!
=== For Parents - How to determine whether any of these mods are in use by children===
Parents cannot rely on the filenames of the .package files that are found by downloading the above-listed mods, because smart kids will just change the names and possibly even the location of the .package files by hacking the Resource.cfg file that points to the location of mod packages.
However, if a mod is installed they cannot hide the in-game results, and the following is the quick and easy way to tell what's what.
#First, one must look for the existence of a mod packages folder. If it is not there on the child's computer, one must consider whether he or she wants to strain his or her child's trust by proceeding with the remaining steps. If the bold-highlighted folders shown in the following paths exist, then the child definitely has some type of mods installed. If the folder does not exist, it is not a guarantee that no mods are installed; resourceful kids can easily change the default folder used by mod packages.
#*On Windows: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\'''Mods\Packages'''.
#*On Mac: In the Applications folder, right-click the application and choose Show Package Contents. Then navigate to Contents > Resources > transgaming > c_drive > Program Files > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 >''' Mods > Packages'''.
#Go in-game and command one of the Sims to take a shower. If the pixellated mosaic-blur effect does not occur, they have the No Mosaic mod installed (or some equivalent anti-censorship mod).
#If the shower has clear see-through glass, it will also be obvious whether any realistic skin mods have been installed. Alternatively, one can click the Sim, choose Change Outfit, then select their swimsuit outfit or their sleepwear outfit slot and see what happens. At this time there is no everyday, formal, exercise, or uniform clothing that reveals underlying skin realism.)
