Can't download new stuff

[hyleath5560]

I downloaded some new furniture and I can not get it to come up in my buy mode of my game.  I created folders under the download file.  If it is a rar file is there something I need to do to convert it?  I want to re do my whole house and can't get any of my new stuff to show up.  Please help.

Make sure you:

1) Have the meshes
2) Have the latest version of CEP (since some downloads require it)
3) Have all the eps needed to use the downloads.

Make sure you use WinRAR or a similar program to extract the files too.

Make sure to unrar it using winrar so it becomes a .package file.  You can get winrar program at http://www.winrar.com

If you put it as a .rar file in your Downloads folder, the game cannot read it, you need to extract the package file coming in the .rar file into your Downloads folder first to be able to see it.

For further information on how to install downloads in your game, make sure to read this thread:  Dr. Know-It-All's Diatribe No.2. - Installing Downloads.
