Just right-click the file and hit "Open As...", you should be able to find the correct program.

However... SimPE can't open .sims3pack files. Are you sure these aren't (Sims 3) .package files? If so, you don't need to open them to install them anyway.
What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

Helloooo! thank you so much! yeah I've got some problems with sims3 files, if you want I can link the files. It shows me the format as a "package" file and not as a "sims3pack" file it's strange :O ! I've tried to open it manually with the correct program but it doesn't work anyway so I don't know what to do

Both Sims 2 and Sims 3 use .package files.

However, their contents are not the same - same file type, different file insides. For Sims 3 .package files, you need to install them thusly: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php...g_Package_Files

What do you mean "I can't open it" - what happens or doesn't happen? When you double-click a sims3pack file, the Launcher should open to install it.
