Custom content files usually come as zips or rars. These are archive file folders and need to be unpacked.



So unzip or unrar them. If they are zips and you have Windows XP, all you have to do is double-click the file and the archive programme will run. Choose extract and put the files inside the archive somewhere where you can find them. If they are rar files, you'll need Winrar (which is similar to Winzip which opens zip files). You use it in the same way (once you have installed it).



Once they are unzipped, go and find the files and move the files that are package files over to your Downloads folder which is here:



My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads



That's it, run the game.



Some people unpack their zips and rars straight to their Downloads folder. I prefer not to do this since unpacking them straight there will put in everything in the zip in Downloads and there are often junk files in there including a readme and maybe some pictures. You don't need any of these clogging up your game folders. The game ONLY reads package files.



You need to make sure, when you are downloading, that you have all files required. With objects, it's usually pretty straighforward, though make sure you understand the difference between a mesh and a recolour (the recolour won't show up without the mesh, the mesh will show on its own). With skins, it's a litte more difficult since you may require a mesh as well as the actual clothes files. Unlike objects, skin meshes don't show up without the clothes files - sort of the other way round. If you're new to this, I'm not going to explain it here (ask another question) but read the websites carefully and make sure you have all the files required.
