    Um, could you be more specific? Are you saying you got a sim from someone else's site, unzipped it and now it won't load?

    If so, did you:

    1. Unzip the file into the downloads folder?
    2. Double-click it? Important: Make sure no other Sims-related program is open at the time.

    When you double-click something in the downloads folder the content installer should start up. It's a little confusing. It will say to double-click the content, which you just did!!! Just ignore the message and click OK.

    The Sim should now appear in your game.

    FYI, it helps to write your requests a little more clearly to help us help you. I'm just guessing this is what you wanted, if not please clarify.

    Hi

    If you are downloading from the download section from WorldSims itself I can tell you that there isn't any problem with the clothing that I created. I only use Maxis created meshs and I test each item that is created 4 times with and without the expansion pack.
    If you are downloading from the forums (if people have submitted downloads here) it's possible that the clothing you are downloading need special user created meshes. Without the much needed meshes it's possible that the clothing will not appear correctly...or at all.
    I have found this as one of my problems. I tried downloading a certain hair mesh (inu yasha hair) from TheSims2.com and found that without the user created mesh it is impossible to use the hair item. The creator of this mesh no longer makes it available so even if I download a recolor of the item from TheSims2 site it wont work.
