'''Step 1: ClickDisable downloadCustom Content'''
 
You don't need to disable custom content because custom content is good for players.
[[Custom content]] is all Sims content that did not come from an official The Sims 3 Update, The Sims 3 Store, Expansion Pack, or Stuff Pack. Custom Content is created by 3rd Party Developers that are not regulated by Electronic Arts or The Sims 3 Development Team and may not work with new updates. Custom Content may cause the game to behave unexpectedly or not function entirely.
 
To disable your custom content, undo whatever you did to install this content to get your game back into an unmodified state. If you placed it in a Sims 3 directory folder, move it to a new folder that is outside your Sims 3 file directory. Your Sims 3 file directory can be found using the paths listed below:
 
Windows XP Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3
 
Windows Vista/7/8 Directory: C:\Users\USER\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3
 
Mac File Directory: ~/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims/
 
Once you have installed the official update you may re-enable your custom content. If you experience problems, disable it again until the 3rd party developer updates their content to work with the official Update, Expansion Pack, or Stuff Pack.
