You are certain that the other mods and forms of content you are adding to Mods\Packages are indeed files that are in .package based format -- not sims3packs, and not zips or in other compressed forms? Nothing that was really intended for TS2 or TS4, regardless of the file formats? If so, in order to see where things might be misplaced, we might need to see some screenshots in Detail View of:
-- your TS3 user game folder in Documents, showing the location of your Mods folder
-- the contents of your Mods folder
-- the contents of your Packages folder

I'm having the same problem. I use a mac. How did you fix it? I have all my .package files showing up no problem, but I can't get my sims3packs to install no matter what I do. Or rather, they install, show as installed in launcher but don't show up at all in the game. Help?

It's generally a best practice to remove the Mods folder entirely (drag it to the Desktop to be put back later) before attempting to Launcher install sims3packs on the Mac version of the game. Not sure anyone knows why. TS3 for Mac is more delicate and much more flaky than its Windows sibling.
