Do you know where to look for your content in the game?ġ. Then select "Enable Custom Content." (I might not be dead on about the Options menu of the Sims 2, considering I've played the Sims 3 mostly now-days, but somewhere in there it DOES say Enabled Custom Content! I promise! :-) After you've enabled the content, restart your game. Go into the neighborhood of your choice, and click on the 3. Check if your Custom Content is enabled in your game. If you dont have that, a message may come up that says "Windows cannot open this file." If that message comes up, then you need the Sims 2 Clean Installer!)ĥth. Download it here: YOU NEED THE SIMS 2 CLEAN INSTALLER FOR SIMS, HOUSES, AND LOTS. It'll install Sim and Lot packages into your game with ease. (Be sure to have the Sims 2 Clean Installer. It should say if you want to install them into your game.

First save the Sim or Lot to your desktop, or the destination where you first save the downloads before extracting them. SIMS AND LOTS DO NOT GO IN THE DOWNLOADS FOLDER LIKE CLOTHES, HAIR, ETC. If you were downloading a Sim or a house/community lot, make sure you INSTALL IT INTO THE GAME. If your downloading from xmsims, click on the photo of the download you want, and you'll get the download window.)Ĥth. Make sure if it says you need to download a mesh from a site, you download it! (It should say if you need a mesh in the "Downloads" tab at modthesims2. Make sure you READ ABOUT THE DOWNLOAD! Make sure you have the correct games and expansions, the right meshes, and so on. You have to extract them using WinRAR or another kind of extracting program.

Once you download them, don't just throw the file into the Downloads folder. Make sure you extracted the files correctly. Make sure your Downloads folder (which should be located in Users\(Current User Account)\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads.) has a capital "D". Well this question's really out of date, but if anyone still needs help I can try.
