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:
 
* On Windows XP Directory: <tt>C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3</tt>
 
* On Windows Vista/7/8 Directory: <tt>C:\Users\USER\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3</tt>
 
Mac* FileOn DirectoryMac: <tt>~/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims/</tt>
 
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.

'''Step 2: Back Up your Save Files'''
 
It’s always a good precaution to back up your save files before installing an Expansion Pack, Update, or Stuff Pack. To do this, copy the “<tt>.sims3”sims3</tt>” folders found in the Saves folder onto your desktop or another file directory.
 
Your Sims 3 Saves folder can be found using the paths listed below:
 
* On Windows XP Directory: <tt>C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves</tt>
 
* On Windows Vista/7/8: <tt>C:\Users\USER\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves</tt>
 
Mac* FileOn DirectoryMac: <tt>~/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims/Saves</tt>
 
After the Update is installed, run the game to verify your saves still function correctly.
