I started playing AL just recently.. and i've been playing sims 2 now for quite some time..so i've been downloading custom contents for almost 2 years now [for the base game only-never had any success with expansion packs until recently] and no problems have occured. But recently, i've been downloading custom contents for AL and everything works fine until suddenly i noticed that only for of the many houses i've downloaded are appearing in the game. i've make sure that all the houses i download are AL compatible. and it also happens with downloaded neighbourhoods.. Pleasee anyone help me?? I'm practically begging and kissing your feets by now! 

p/s : sorry for the draggy writing! n sorry if i posted at the wrong forum n repeated a question cause it's my first time writing on a forum as big and famous like thiss!!

you are double-clicking the sims2packs to install them?  or using sims2pack installer to install them?

[Liyanared]

earlier on i did that, but then i installed clean installer and reinstalled all the not working ones...
you think i need to recheck??

Please be aware that any neighborhoods need to go in EA Games: The Sims 2: Neighborhoods they will not show up in just your downloads folder, and I would suggest using clean installer to install CC in your game

aww..i tried what you told me but it didnt work..
maybe i need to reinstall it..thnks anyways! 

[amc462000]

No, they don't go into neighborhoods.  they can be put in downloads using clean installer. When using the sims2 package installer, they go into teleport until the game is loaded.  

as for neighborhoods that you download, you put those in SC4 Terrains file.

whoops! lol

[Liyanared]

lol..i put the folder into SC4 Terrain but nothing happened..sobs..
maybe im doing something wrong.. anyways, can u guys help me with the custom house problem..as i LOVEE to download the beautiful houses available and just too plain lazy to make one myself... 

[amc462000]

what folder?  you just put your terrains/neighborhoods in loose into the SC4Terrains folder. For your houses you use clean installer to install them into Downloads or just double-click the Sims2package file to install it by itself. There is no wrong way to do that. Does your other Custom Content, like clothes you have downloaded or whatever, show up in your game?

[Liyanared]

my other stuffs shows up just fine..only the houses and neighbourhoods.. but as far as i can remember i installed them using clean installer.. early this year, i've downloaded like 4 houses and they show up.. but the rest don't.. and there's something else wrong i think cause i can use one house for more than once.. like it is saying "you can use me all u want but im not goin anywhere!"   

[amc462000]

?  what do you mean? you can use houses more than once. that is normal.

[Liyanared]

really? before this i only use custom content on base game and when u use a house, that's the only time u can use that particular house.. hehe.. thnksss for the note! i thought my game is bugged..

[amc462000]

Oh yeah, with the base game, once you use a house it is gone; I forgot about that! 

[Liyanared]

lol..now, im trying to figure out how to lessen the freezing while playing..it even messes up my game! btw, i've just installed free time and seasons...and it's getting slowerrrrrrr.....maybe because of insufficient ram??
