Welcome to the forum lisanmyers. :)

Yes, that is possible. In fact, when I played Sims on a laptop that had no access to the internet, I downloaded stuff on my desktop, put it on a USB and installed it from there.

Moving mods and installing them from another computer?

Hi! So Im not a stranger to mods, and I know how to add them if Im on a computer with internet, my my game is on a desktop without internet, and only my net book has internet right now. I have been told I can move 3rd party mods from here to my other computer, but Im unsure how how to save them on a usb, and then where and how to move them onto my game physically. Usually its just a click and add automatically from a site to the game. What I want to add is clothing, hair, objects, and the town that has been made here, Union Bay (I believe that right)

Assuming you are using a PC and not a Mac, mods are located in <documents>\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods . Copy from that folder on the source machine, and to that folder on the destination.

On a Mac, I have no idea where it is located.
