Skintone downloads not working; thing is, one of my skins is
Baby Ronno:
I have downloaded the CEP package manual installation from MTS 2, and I did as I was instructed in the Mac manual. I put the color package in the "Sims 3D" folder. But three of my skins that I have downloaded are not appearing. But a previously downloaded skin is:brain: They are all zip files, and all of my downloads, be it game mods to eye recolors, are working perfectly, so long as they are zip files, but my new skins aren't. I am postitive that they are mac friendly, I checked them thoroughly before I downloaded. Did I not install them properly?:(
Baby Ronno:
Apparently no one has a clue as to what I'm talking about. And to keep this topic from being eventually deleted, I have also downloaded a skin tone from InSim this morning, and this one hasn't shown up either. This has been very frustrating, because I have 1 good working skintone with no problems whatsoever. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Baby_Ronno, I am also awaiting reply on some questions, but there are few mac-users, so you gotta be patient, someone who can help you will hopefully drop by soon :)
And don't worry, your thread won't be deleted :)

I'm not sure I have understood: you mean you put your custom downloads unzipped? I mean, with extension .zip instead of .package?
In that case, are those not-working new skins with .rar extension?
If I understand this correctly, then custom stuff works even if unzipped (I didn't know, but somehow it may be). That would explain your problem completely: "zip" and "rar" are compressed files, not the regular ones (which have a .package extension instead); while Mac OS natively supports zip compression, it doesn't do the same with rar compression.
Solution is to uncompress these files.

None of the downloads are rar files or package files. I don't know what I've done wrong; I have asked this question on MTS 2 as well, and one of the creators suggested that I take a look at their faq titled "Custom content not showing up? READ THIS!", but it only told me to click "Enable custon content" in the game options, which I have already done.
All of the skins are zip files, but only one is working. I was hoping that someone here had experienced the same problem and be able to help me.
I'm such a computer dummy, LOL. I took the files out of the folder that they came in, THEN put them in the downloads folder. The downloads are working perfectly now.
