Title: Having problems installing files?
Post by: kathy on December 24, 2005, 07:36:09 pm
Delphy from MTS2 made an installer that will install files for you after you select them. This works for zip, rar and sims2pack file formats.
More detailed information can be found here: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=114531
and the url for the site can be found here: http://q-xpress.modthesims2.com
Not only does it work for MTS2 downloads but will install for other sites too.

no you dont drag it...when you're on mts2, you click a special "q-xpress install" link and it downloads it to q-express...you should go to the official site (click the link) and read more about it...

I think most people just use WinRAR or WinZIP (or Windows XP's built in .zip reader) to pluck the files out and drop them into their Downloads folder.

Hey people, I don't know if you noticed my this (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=6567) post (#9). I even tried this Q-xpress thing, but it doesn't help me! Meshes just don't want to appear in my game :( Recolors - no problem, but without meshes they look stupid :pale:

Meshes for what?


Title: Having problems installing files?
Post by: Pioneeree on June 12, 2006, 01:15:08 pm
Well, as far as I understand, "mesh" is a thing, made in 3D making program (Maya, 3D Studio Max, ect.), which makes objects have different shapes... :B
The problem is, that bodybuilder mesh (as same, as other Sims meshes) doesn't work. I just get a slim guy, without muscles, but with authors recolor...
Can somebody help me out with this one?

my problem isn't with the downloading and extracting the files, it's actually getting them to appear on the game itself.

Wow, thank goodness somebody made one of these.  My WinZip has been on the fritz on and off (Probably because of all the files I extract for Sims 2 lol)

Not to take away from Delphy's awesome programs, but I had problems with Q-Install from the get go. I found a program that works consistently for me at: http://www.neoscrib.com
It's the robotic version of Sims2File Maid, and I haven't had any problems with it at all. Actually it was amazing the speed with which it installed everything. (I don't know what I did, but Sims2 File Maid quit working for me a while ago, I tried redownloading it and a fresh install but it never worked for me again.)
