Sims 2 fans, help me out please?

Question

Mod the Sims 2.... well it hasnt been helping much. VERY cool stuff, i know for sure, but i did what the directions say, and i cant seem to download it. I don't know what to dubble click to make it say, "Would you like to install?" or something like that. All it says is "please double click a custom content folder...." Help pleeeease I really want this stuff for my game!

Answer 1

Put the files in My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads then when you enter the game it will ask you to enable the files

Answer 2

This might take a while :)

Go on the 'Downloads Guide For Fracking Idiots' (link at the bottom)

Learning how to do this is definetely worth while, as the stuff already on the sims is quite frankly terrible xD It took me quite a while to get it working, but you seriously just need to sit down and read through it thouroughly.

It is actually very easy and I read through it at least 3 times till I understood. If you don't understand it, READ IT AGAIN! If you don't understand one part, DON'T just 'sweep it under the carpet' and hope it won't come up again because that is a frequent mistake. I'm telling you now - it will come up again! So never mode onto the next section untill you fully understand it. It is so easy when you get the hang of it, and it couldn't possibly be explained any better imho.

The second link at the bottom is probably why your CC isn't working as you need to download it (click your language to download then open up and double click it)

Also, make sure you always read what expansion packs are needed or that you have the meshes or it won't work.

If you have any other questions, feel free to message me :)

Prizerebel is basically a website that rewards you for completing surveys and signing up to websites. You do not need to give any credit card details in order to register, and you can choose whether to participate in offers that are free or require a credit card, phone number etc.

The amount of points that are received from an offer varies, depending on the offer that needs to be completed. For example, offer which require more time will give more points, and offers which require a credit card give more points. Usually, a free offer will give about 0.3 - 0.7 points. Points from completing offers are credited quickly, usually within 24 hours, making it easy to quickly collect enough points for a prize.

There are many prizes that can be chosen from on the site, these include Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, DS and PSP games, accessories and consoles, online gaming credits, itunes cards, gift cards and more. If you do not see a prize that you want, you can request a custom prize request and choose an item from a website, and Prize rebel will use the points you have earned to buy the prize for you.

If you want to know more about the site, check out their website, it has an FAQ and a support contact so you can have any of your questions answered, and it also has testimonials, showing what people received from the website.

Answer 5

Installing custom content...LOL I just wrote out a step by step guide for someone else on Yahoo answers.Its not AS detailed as what is on the modthesims2 FAQ and help section.However maybe it will help seeing it put a different way.

Alright.First thing is to:

go to your Documents folder.Click on the folder that says EA games.Then click on the Sims 2 folder.

Now inside there will be all these folders to your game.Look down the list for a DOWNLOADS folder.If you don't see one,create a folder and name it downloads.

Now you will need the WinRAR program to unzip your files.You get the program at http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm .You will want the first link,which is graphic and command line only(free trial).After you download the program you can now unzip your custom content files.So go to your favorite custom content site and download them!LOL I recommend modthesims2.com(I adore that site)Anyway,after you download some custom content,use Winrar to unzip the files.Its pretty self explanatory how to do that,but just in case I will explain.

You click on your finished custom content download to open it.The program pops up.You of course,click closed the little free trail message,then you go to the top and click extract.Now you have two choices at this point.You may extract to the Downloads folder that is in your Sims 2 folder.

OR you may create a folder on your DESKTOP and extract it there as sort of a holding place(Its just much easier to extract to a desktop folder within the Winrar program,otherwise you have to do a lot of clicking to get to your Sims 2 Downloads folder.)It just goes much faster and easier to place it in the DESKTOP folder and move it later to the downloads folder.It is your choice.

ANYWAY,after you extract then you may move your custom content to your Downloads folder (thats within the Sims 2 folder) if you have not already done so.Then your custom content is ready to be in your game.

Now you are ready to turn your game on and look for your custom content.If you don't see it then chances are you have to go enable the custom content option through game options.Very simple and self explanatory how to do that.

Now don't freak out if you don't immediately see the content.You may have to exit out your game and restart your game for it to show up.After you do this,any custom content you download and extract and place in your downloads folder will always show up in your game.Enjoy!Any questions?

Feel free to message me or you may go to modthesims2.com and look at the help and FAQ section.
