Sims 2 custom content downloading?

if you go to www.thesimsresource.com and sign up for a free membership they have the option to download the file to your computer or you can download the file as a pack file, and all you have to do if you download the file as a packfile is double click on it and it will put your custom content in the correct folder it needs to be in, if that doesn’t work make sure when you open your game and the custom content window pops up the “Enable Custom Content” is checked. If its not you need to click it, close the game and when you open it again all your downloaded items should be available to purchase…

Are you saying once you download it won’t show in the game? I want to make sure I am understanding correctly. If that’s the case I love the MAID heres the link http://mattwork.potsdam.edu/projects/SimFileMaid/index2.html read the directions for it and it goes pretty well.Many thanks to the creator of that program. it saved me hours of grief. Good Luck

actually, I have no problem finding awesome stuff to download. I just can’t get it onto my game. but thanks, I’ll check out that site for help! :)

Okay well I’m not sure if this is exactly what you mean. But when I want new items and houses and stuff like that, I go to sims2.com. You then go to the exchange, there are houses, sims, cars, and all kinds of items. You can download them, they save to your computer, and when you play, you just go to the buy mode and they are there, and for the houses you get, they are where houses are normally. There are a lot of cool stuff there, you should really check it out, I hope this helped.

I just tried the sims MAID and it does not work for me, I cant put no files on the “Lawn”..
