Using Clean Installer to Install Sims
Engram:
Select the destination as the Downloads folder in your SLS directory in My Documents / Documents (depending on whether you have XP or Vista). This SHOULD and WILL work. I have done this and it worked. You DO NOT need TS2.
You select the filetype as .package. The temp files are for installing houses and the target folder for that is Teleport. But because house files are expansion pack dependent I would stay away from those because they'd just crash your game. But sims should be safe to install. Just make sure you have the correct destination folder and that the filetype is .package.
Kenadie_Rose:
Oh ok I am going to go try this. I hope it works!!
Kenadie_Rose:
Alrighty I did what you said and the sim still doesn't show up, however the custom content from the sim does. I guess that is better than nothing... :cool:
gali:
And I wanted to say that I am glad about Engram's instructions...:). Because I myself tried it, and it didn't work with the sims packages, and I had to "trick" with the TS2 game.
Sorry I misled you, Kenadie, and I am glad that you succeeded to install the custom content. Thanks, Engram. :cool:

Kenadie_Rose - try creating a SavedSims folder and putting the sim file (not the CC, just the sim) in there. If the sim was not cloned in Bodyshop but simply extracted then packaged, it will not show up if you leave the sim file in Downloads. I recently discovered this when I tried to put a non-cloned sim into my game and then desperately searched for it in both CAS and Bodyshop. A cloned sim should be between 100 and 200 KB, while a non-cloned sim will be around 500 to 600 KB filesize. If the filesize for the sim file is big, this would indicate a non-cloned sim but an extracted one. A cloned sim will have a filename something like 56d96630_ba25512.package, while a non-cloned one will be called something like N004_character0056.package or will have a real name like JennySmith.package.
