Steps
Community Q&A
- QuestionDoes Master Controller work on Sims 3: Late Night?Community AnswerAll NRaas mods work with any EP, Late Night included. Just make sure you download the correct version for your patch level.
- QuestionWhy does the cache file return after being deleted?Community AnswerEvery time you open The Sims 3, these files are regenerated by the program - deleting them before you boot up will help with loading times. This isn't necessary to run this mod (or and mod or package, in fact), but will help with minor performance issues the game has, like slight lag.
- QuestionI don’t have the folder under Sims 3 called "Mods" - where do I get "Packages"?Community AnswerNeither of these folders are in your Sims 3 folder by default. You need to download the Framework Setup from Mod The Sims (which is linked in the article), extract the files in the .zip, and place them into your Sims 3 folder in order for the game to recognize any custom content.

Tips
- If Master Controller isn't working despite being installed in the right place, check that you don't have any duplicate, outdated, or otherwise conflicting mods.[1] If that doesn’t work, uninstall the “Mods” folder and try again.Thanks
