Uploading Frustration...
kinnika:
Okay, so I was finally able to upload my lot (somewhat). I get it all ready and then try to post but I get a response saying that its not in the right format. I was told to package my lot in a Sims2Package. I uploaded the photos in jpg format. So, now what? How come I was told to package my lot in Sims2Pack, but yet, now its not loading?

how did you package your lot?

I followed the instructions below:
Tutorial: How to Package a Lot for Upload
« on: January 29, 2006, 01:24:57 pm »
2. Choose a neighborhood to play then click the family button and find the lot you want to package. Click on it.
3. On the menu that pops up click the package lot button on the left. A new menu will pop up. Choose package lot to file (not package lot to the exchange) and click the checkmark.
The game will package up your file (it may take awhile be patient) and tell you where you can find it when it's done.
You can now find your lot in your MyDocuments\eagames\thesims2\packagedlots folder (it automatically created the folder for you when you packaged your first lot)
The file will be called whatever you called the lot when you made it in your game before.
Right-click on the lot and choose open with Sims2Pack Clean Installer (if you dont have Clean Installer, get it!).
Use Clean Installer to help you scan the file for hacks/careers/etc and to properly credit the people who made the custom content you used (if you used any).
Go to whatever site you're going to upload the lot to (hopefully this one), upload the lot, upload the screenshots, and whatever information you want to give people and you're done.
So, I followed all this. The package my lot is in is in the same format of lots I download. So, I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.

ok so you followed all the directions and now you have a Sims2package. And did you zip it? to attach a file, it has to be: doc, gif, jpg, mpg, pdf, png, txt, zip, rar, 7z, package - you cannot attach a non-zipped Sims2package file it seems.
kinnika:
No, because that was a step that this person apparently left out. I don't know how to do that. Would you be able to let me know how to do that?
I'll feel silly if its really simple, lol.
Do I just right-click the lot and "add to archive", then hit "ok"?
