Downloading and using sims characters?

Question

I have downloaded some sims characters off of the sims2 website, and have stored them all in a file in my documents...what now? How do I load them onto my sims 2 game and use them in families, households, etc?

Thanks

Answer 1

you drag them into the download folder then you play the game.

Answer 2

What you need to do is go to where they are stored and then, one at a time, double-click on them.  A box should open up saying Install.  Click on that.  If another box also pops up, just keep clicking until it's done.

To find the sims in your game, go into the create a family screen, choose a last name, then choose the gender of the sim you are looking for and the age group of that sim.  Now look to the top right and you'll see six sims.  Click on that and you will see the sims you installed.

You don't need any bodybuilder nor does dragging them into the downloads folder work.  When you double-click on them and then click on install, they install to the correct location (which is actually your Saved Sims folder inside of the game files).  Also, I don't know what the body builder is unless they are talking about Bodyshop.  If that is what they mean, you don't need to download that off the internet, every sims 2 game and expansion pack comes with bodyshop already.  When you install any sims 2 game or expansion pack you get a new version of bodyshop that is made to work with that game.  To find it, click on start, programs or all programs then on EA Games and then on the name of your latest released game that you have installed and then on the bodyshop listed under that game.  So if your latest released game is Bon Voyage, then you would need to click on the bodyshop found under Bon Voyage.

you'll need to download the sims 2 body builder off the internet, and upload them to that, which'll upload them straight to the game.
