Hello, people! I'm new here! I've downloaded so many mods things like: Hair, clothes, housing, cars, accessories etc.. and I don't know what's the next step: after downloading the mods, how to put them into the sim? Sorry about my english.
(is this the correct thread to post here? )
And thanks! xD

Well when you download stuff there is a tab that says "downloading instructions" or something like that... and most of them when you download you copy that download and put it into documents>>EA games>>Sims 2>>downloads and paste into downloads
hope that helped!

okay thanks! i'll go try it now!! xD

hmm.. so do i have to extract the files out?

yes, extract them. Files must end in .package to work.

oh okay! Then do i need to sort the files or leave them in The Sims 2 folder?
