Help! Hi, I am trying to downlaod a house over thesims2.com, I went to my documents then EA GAMES then THE SIMS 2 and then there is no file containing downloads. Does anyone know how I can find the file and still download the house? I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks!
I suspect that you are looking in the project files (which had them in TS1) rather than the My Document files (where they are for TS2.) This is what the Prima Guide says about it. Extract the parts of use to you: ------------------------------------------------ Lots, both occupied and vacant, can be uploaded to or from TheSims2.com via the Custom Contetn Browser. Lots not downloaded from the browser must be installed via a package installer or manually placed in My Documents\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Lot Catalog. If the filename of the manually placed lot PACKAGE file is already in use in the Lot Catalog Folder, alter the numerical portion of the filename taking care to keep the same number of characters in the file name. Proper format for the file name is: "cx.########.package". No matter the source of the file, added lots appear in the Lots and Houses Bin. Th ebin, in turn is sorted by Occupied and Unoccupied Lots. Occupied lots contain the lot's family but without any of the lot's story or relationships outside the lot. Memories and family trees pertaining to non-household lots are, however, preserved. ------------------------------ Hopefully that answers your question. (I don't up or download as my poor dialup can't handle it. But the above is what the directions are from the Prima Guide.)
When you download things from the Sims2.com it doesn't automatically save in the file you mentioned, it saves in a file you want it to be saved in (The file shown or the file you have chosen when it asks where you want to save it). Then double click on it and a screen should come up then click yes to install it.
