Question:

Why are my downloads for sims2 not all showing up?

by | earlier

My downloads work except for the pets, and the hair and make up. I checked to make sure they were workable with my expansion packs, (on the sims resource) and use their down loader. Other objects work but some don't ....what is wrong?

try searching for CEP (Color enable pack) install that and then try it,

some custom content will not work till you install that,

also make sure you have installed the meshes.

oh yeah you can find this on modthesims2

A lot of the recolors on tsr are associated with pay meshes. If you have a free only account, you may not be able to get the mesh for the recolor. One of the other answers mentions the CEP. This is definitely required if any of your downloads is for a Maxis recolor. You can get the CEP here: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.ph...

A really good way to find out if you have all the pieces you need to make a download work (mesh to go with recolor) is to download and run Delphy's Download Organiser (DDO). You also have to download and install .Net Framework 1.1, but both are easy to download and instal. And the DDO can save you lot's of frustration when you're trying to find broken downloads, orphans (recolors missing meshes or meshes with no recolors), and duplicate downloads.

You can get the DDO here: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.ph...

.Net Framework 1.1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...

If they still don't work, go to the download site and look at the comments. Maybe there is a solution there, or you could ask the creator about it. If you choose to get the DDO, make sure you follow the directions exactly. It won't work otherwise.

Just to clarify, the official website is under no obligation to help you with custom content. It can't hurt to ask, but I've heard they don't really help when the problem concerns cc.
