I keep getting a message saying "this needs expansion data that is not installed". It doesnt say in the thread that you need anything? . I download with winrar, if im to download with another one, then ill need someone to explain how i dont know how to switch over should this be nessasarry. Im so frustrated that it doesnt seem to be working for me.
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Woot it worked, I found a way, shes even better in game as well!!!.

You will get this message, when the sim has outfit, or default hair that belongs to an EP that you don't have (for instance, I don't have Seasons, and the downloaded sim wears a default Season winter clothes).
Right click on the zipped file (the winrar), and choose "open with" - scroll to Sim 2 Pack installer. I hope you have it.
A window will be openned, with all the custom content the sim has. Uncheck the clothing and the hair, to prevent their installing, with hope that the sim will be installed with default Maxis clothes and hair.
Click on "install".
Open the Body Shop, and search for the sim, who may appear bald, or naked, lol. Nevertheless clone it, and see if you can add hair, clothes and makeup. If you can - do it, and finish (close window). Select now "package a sim", and click on the "madeover sim". The package will be placed on your desktop.
Double click on the package, and install again the madeover sim.
If you can't add clothing or hair, don't be frustrated: enter the game, choose "create a sim", and no matter in what condition you find it (usually I find only the head, lol) - choose the face, and you will be able to add clothing and hair.
Hard work, but if you want that sim badly, it's worth it...:).

I t wont let me open with, it shows a blank page. very strange, I hope the sauthor is able to let me know what expansions she used and I can see if I can work with it.
Pierre:
maybe you should try installing the sim with clean installer? or try redownloading the sim.
good luck

Clean installer will let you install the sim even if you do not have all the ep's but it won't appear as it is in the thread you downloaded it from.
You can get the clean installer at mts2 website. Direct link to it on their main page.
