How can I install your creations?
Clothes, Make-up, Genetics and Objects: extract the "package" file in My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads folder. Extract is a fuction of Winrar, the program you need to open our files.
Characters and Lots: double click on the "Sims2Pack" file extracted from the rar downloaded.
Walls and Floors: double click on the "Sims2Pack" files extracted from the rar downloaded. Sometimes, for multiple tiles floor extract the "package" file in My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads folder.

I can't find my downloads folder, how do i get it?
Method 1: You have to create a new folder called "Downloads" into The Sims 2 folder in "My Documents".
Method 2: Open one time Bodyshop (Start-Programs-EAGames-TheSims2-The Sims 2 Bodyshop) and the folder will be created by the game
Method 3: Download and install by double click a .sims2pack file.

I downloaded some of your creations but when I tried to open them it said that it couldn't support the file or I see a generic icon. Can you help me?
You don't have to double click on "package" files, just extract the "package" files into "Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads" folder. It's absolutly normal, don't hurry up, the game can read this file format.
If you see generic icon for the downloaded files perhaps you don't have Winrar. For extract the "package" you must have Winrar or similar that open .rar files. You can download it here. We use the 3.71 version. Winrar is a shareware software, that means you get a free trial for 30 days, after that every time you open Winrar you've to click on "continue" button. You don't need to buy Winrar, all function continue to work.

I downloaded your new hairstyle. Why it shows up a default hairstyle in the game?
If you want to view hairstyles, you have to download and install the new mesh, sometimes the link for download is in description under "Download" cell. If you don't have it, the game shows a default hair or none at all.

The downloaded objects don't appear in my game. Why?
You need to install CEP for see in your game some objects of these section. You can download it here .
Be sure to download the mesh files when specified and to download only objects that are compatible with your game version and EP installed.
Remember to activate the Custom Stuff from the game options.

A strange message/alert appear on startup. Why?
If you have at least one EP after Nightlife at startup will appear an alert window. It remember to you that you've some stuff not made by EA (all your downloads), and that they could create some problems to your game.
All it is normal, that is a standard tip that EA made to you to defend itself from problems you could have. Check the "Activate" box, load game, exit and re-launch game to load all custom content.

Files with .package extension give error when I try to open or install. Why?
It's normal. Files with .package extension don't need to be installed or opened. The game will load files in that format, you just need to put these files in the Downloads folder.

Problems with rar downloaded: corrupted files, connection reset messages, the downloads stop halfway and so on...
I'm sure that all the archives are free of error and files may have been corrupted during the download process. If the problem continue, try to ask me.

How can I get the best graphic detail?
My computer has a high graphics resolutions and my graphic card support bump mapping. Here below you can find my graphics setting for the game (Sorry only italian menu').

Why don't I see the clothes on my pc as your images?
It depends by your graphics setting, by your RAM and by your pc graphics card. You can compare your setting with mine looking at the image that you find here.
