Title: Installing problems Post by: nene05 on January 28, 2007, 03:44:05 pm Hi everyone, I have recently downloaded skin tones, eyes and make up etc. and this content wont install in my game I'm currently using the WinRAR program and I'm getting very upset because I want these items. I even erased all the files and went back on the website to download them again and it still wont go in the game. By the way I do have the mesh and everything the stuff just wont show up in the game. Can anyone help me?

Title: Installing problems Post by: nene05 on January 28, 2007, 04:03:52 pm I downloaded genetic items and I zipped it more than once and it still didnt show up in my game......what do I do?
Title: Installing problems Post by: Squinge on January 28, 2007, 04:05:03 pm Do you have custom content enabled in your game?
Title: Installing problems Post by: nene05 on January 28, 2007, 04:09:18 pm Yes I have custom content enabled, and its not in a sub folder its just in my download folder.
Title: Installing problems Post by: Squinge on January 28, 2007, 04:12:59 pm Are you sure they are in your downloads folder? if you unzipped them & you have custom content enabled they should show up in your game.
Title: Installing problems Post by: nene05 on January 28, 2007, 04:54:37 pm Yes Im sure its in the downloads folder. Do I need to make a sub folder and put the genetic files inside of it? And also can you have too many files inside your download folder?
Title: Installing problems Post by: ancienthighway on January 28, 2007, 05:51:14 pm The path to your downloads folder should be My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads. It should not be in Program Files. If it is, move it. The folder should also have the capital D in the name. It doesn't matter for objects and recolors, but it does matter for anything used in Bodyshop, i.e., clothes, makeup, genetics.
Hope this helps you. Title: Installing problems Post by: Squinge on January 28, 2007, 06:08:26 pm Thanks acient; I didn't think of wording it like that :D
Title: Installing problems Post by: ancienthighway on January 28, 2007, 06:15:06 pm Squinge, that could be because you didn't say it :P You were thinking it real hard though.
