New FAQ: How to install custom content?

The Downloadfolder

The first step is to determine whether the download folder exists. It should be in a folder called My Documents. Depending on which version of Windows you are running, it is either on your desktop or on your Start Menu.

In your My Documents folder should be a folder called "EA Games". If you click on it, there should be a folder inside called "Sims 2". Clicking on that brings up several more folders, but the one you are looking for is called "Downloads". This is where all of your custom content should go.

If you do not see the Downloads folder, it is easy to create: Simply click "File" and then "New". A submenu will come up. Click on "Folder". This will generate a new folder. Rename that folder "Downloads". Now you are ready to install your custom content.

File you'll need to use:Files ending in ".zip" need to be opened with an unzipper. Some versions of Windows already have one installed, but the older versions don't (older than XP). To open these folders, you will need a program called "Winzip". You can use google and find it on the internet.

Files ending in ".rar" need to be opened with a program like "WinAce" or "WinRAR". Again. google will help you find this program.

Files ending in ".package" should go to your downloads folder directly. These files are found in zips and rars. Sometimes these files are prepackaged in another type of file that ends in ".Sims2Pack". These files will have a different picture and if you click them, they will start a program to install your custom content for you. All you have to do is open the file, click the "Install" button, and then the "Done" button and you're all set. It puts it into the correct folder for you.

New FAQ: The careers don't show up in my game

The file needs to be put in the downloadfolder like all other creations you download.

SPECIALTY:
To find the career in game you need to search the newspaper and/or computer daily. The more careers you have the lesser chance there is you'll find it quickly in the newspaper and/or computer.

To quickly find the career you want, you can download the Job Seeking Noticeboard made by MogHughson (MTS) which you can find here: http://bit.ly/tLUmNg
