Just put it into the appropriate folder in the game. The filename for the. Too many simsmasters just dump the same uninformative readme file into every archive, but don't let them fool you by crying wolf. Once in a while you will come across a readme file that contains valuable information, and sometimes vital information, about how to install the skins you have downloaded. So take a few seconds to open the readme file that comes with each thing you download.
Each archive on Moon Sims has its own unique readme file that tells you all about what you have downloaded. They also have unique filenames. Create a folder on your computer for these, and save those readme files so you can refer back to them later when you need to.
If your game suffers a fatal crash or your computer gets hosed up, this information will help you find what you have in your game, where you got it, and anything special about it. Some simsmasters distribute meshes that will replace bodies in your game, either out of stupidity or maliciousness, so be careful when installing new skins. Look first. If the new archive has a file with the same name as something you already have, proceed with caution.
Don't install the new files until you're sure you want to do this. It's easy to spot long filenames -- they won't have a complete three-letter extension on them and usually your computer won't have assigned the correct icon because it didn't know what to do with the file. No worries; it's easy to do this. See my essay on how to fix long filenames.
Now, to make it even easier, take a look at Skin Shrinker , a program by Redfreda that does all this for you. Make sure you find all the files that go with the outfit.
A skin might include a mesh. Your character might also come with accessories such as hats, wings, horns, brooms, hair combs, glasses, or whatever. Those usually end up in the Skins folder. It's a Really Good Idea to install only one new skin at a time and check it out in the game. Your game does not know how to open the zips you download from the internet so you'll need to open them before installing them.
Please read this topic if you're unfamiliar with zip files:. The different types of files have different folders they should live in, putting all the files inside the zip you download into the correct folder based on their type is very important. If you do not know what the file extension is, try right clicking on it and selecting 'properties' to see more information. Please double check the instructions provided above.
If you cannot find the suggested file path on your computer because the game is installed differently, then use your computer's search function to locate 'The Sims' folder. From there, the file paths shown in this instruction topic will be accurate. This means you do not have the required expansion pack installed that is needed to support that object.
Delete the file from your game, or install the missing Expansion note it is strongly recommended that you install ALL expansions for The Sims 1 if you want to use any custom content. This does get reported occasionally but truthfully I've no idea what is the cause aside from failing to install all the parts in the zip to the correct skins folder.
We have never used meshes with weird and funky names that the game won't recognize, and all zips do include all the parts needed to support the texture we've created. All skins on our site were fully tested in game when they were made and again in to make sure they hadn't mutated over time! All I can suggest is to make sure you're checking the correct gender and age, skin colour for heads, and that you're not looking for buyable skins in your Sim's dresser at home!
This issue occurs quite often with players who have been playing for a long time, at some point new items they add to their game cease to show up. There is a limit to how many downloads the game can hold. As a rule,. There is no need to do anything to the package files other than place them in the Downloads folder, or a sub-folder of it. However, it is often necessary for players to manually create the Downloads folder. When doing this, there are two things to keep in mind.
One is that, as far as The Sims 2 is concerned, the name of this folder is case-sensitive. The first letter must be an upper-case "D", and all other letters must be lower-case.
Also, if the base game was installed by way of a compilation , the base folder name in Documents may be the name of the compilation instead of "The Sims 2". Players should note that some content needs to be placed relative to the game's install folder, or relative to the folder for the latest expansion pack. Some content for The Sims 2 if delivered in files with the extension. A sims2pack file is a form of archive file; the format was designed to work with an installer program [3] that is included with all versions of The Sims 2.
The sims2pack format can be used for any type of content, and is the standard format for delivering lots, Sims, and custom pet breeds. This is because the installer is designed to place the lot, Sim, or breed in the proper bin. By default, double-clicking a sims2pack file will invoke the game's installer. It will open a dialog showing the names and descriptions of all custom content files contained in the sims2pack.
A packaged lot or Sim will commonly contain custom content used by that lot or Sim. The dialog has two buttons, "Install" and "Cancel".
Clicking the Install button will install everything in the sims2pack, regardless of whether it is already present. It cannot be told to install to a sub-folder of the main Downloads folder, and may give an installed package file a "nonsense" filename that is a seemingly-random string of letters and numbers. This program "associates" the sims2pack extension with itself, so it will launch whenever a sims2pack file is double-clicked.
It allows players to see what content is in a sims2pack, and to select which parts to install. When installing to the Downloads folder, it allows the player to select a sub-folder. Players can choose to override the default install folder and browse for the folder they wish to extract to.
Players with Ultimate Collection will need to do this if they have a version prior to 1. NET framework, this should not be necessary with Vista and later versions of Windows. In The Sims 2 , it is not enough to install custom content correctly.
It must be specifically enabled by way of a dialog that appears when the game loads. For players with Nightlife or later, or any stuff pack, this dialog will not appear unless it is enabled in Game Options. Also, custom buy mode and build mode objects will not appear in the catalogs unless the game option "Catalogs Display Custom Content" is set to On. Fortunately, these things only need to be done after the game is first installed, or after adding a new expansion pack or stuff pack.
In addition to enabling custom content, players who want to use recolors of Maxis buy and build objects must use the Color Enable Package. Installing custom content in The Sims 3 requires some framework. It also requires following some instructions, which vary depending on the type of file being installed.
