Need help with Sims 2 downloads?

Question

I am having trouble getting my downloads to work on my sims 2 game. I get a different hair style when i try it in the game. What should i do to fix this problem? Is there any better website to download hairstyles? This is my 1st time doing it.

Answer 1

If you're downloading hairstyles, you need to have a mesh if it's required, which it is for most custom content hairstyles.

Your question states you're getting a different hairstyle when you play your game, I'm guessing you aren't getting the meshes for them.  If a file requires a mesh and you don't have it, the file will revert back to the original file that was used when the new style was created (hence, your problem).

You need to go back to the site you downloaded them from and find the mesh.  If it's not included, they should at least tell you where to find the mesh at.

Once you download and install the mesh, the file should work just fine.

Answer 2

Well, I don't know where you got your downloads from but I get mine from sims2.com. Now instead of pressing save when you download them, press open. Then read everything else. I remember this blue square thing coming up and you have to press install or something to get it to go into the game.
