Hi!

I have a problem.... All furniture that I am downloading I can't see in my game.
 Can you help me to resolve the problem?


P.S.: I am downloading and mesh and recolours, but i can't see tham anyway.

Do you have all eps and stuff packs? It's possible you're downloading cc you don't have the required ep for.

Also, do you have Custom Content enabled?

May I ask what program you are using to install your downloads?

Yep I have all packs needed.

I am downloading with windows rar.

What is that Custom Content? :smt120

You have to enabled the custom content by click on the one of the options ( i'm not sure which one i think its the one with the picture of the gears) and look for enable custom content and then turn it on...i hope this helps

Where I can find that option? :smt120

if u click on the 3 dots in the circle you will see all the game options

Thanks, but my custom content was enabled....

So I still don't see my downloaded furniture...


Meybe I need some kind of program, or smth like that?

I was having this issue as well. First, make sure you're unpacking .package and .sims2pack files correctly. .package go in your downloads folder, install .sims2pack files using cleaninstaller or filemaid. If that still doesn't work, post here and I'll try to help more.

With unpacking is everything ok.

Look, I had another the sims2 cd and when I've instaled it I saw all my downloaded furniture, but now I bought Sims2 seasons and sims2 pets 2 in 1, and when I instaled this cd I can't see my downloads.


So meybe I need some kind of configuration or some kind of program to instal... I don't know....

You might need the CEP color enabler that can be found here:  The "CEP" - Color Enable Package v. 6.0b - 23 Mar 2007

If you already install that in the past, make sure you are using the latest version which is the one above.

Also, some custom content is NOT expansion pack enabled, meaning when it was created something in an ep made it not show up. When you're downloading cc it is very important to make sure that it is compatible with your latest ep.

So this happened after you installed the Seasons and Pets 2 in 1 EPs? Do you see anything in your downloads folder? Look in My Documents/*your user name*/EAGames/Sims2/Downloads. Are the files there when you double click on the Downloads folder? If not it would seem you may have lost them when you installed these new games. That happened to me when I first started playing this game. I lost everything.

Did you back up your game before you installed this? When I am installing a new EP I make a back up of my game and put it on my desktop that way if I lose my downloads, which I usually do,  I will have a copy and can put them back in my game. If they are there I really have no idea what could be the problem. Good luck!

Move one or two of your downloads out of the folder, and move them back in. :o  It sounds dumb and simple, but if you do that enough, it WILL show up. c:

It does that with me all the time. xD  Every time I install a new expansion pack.  Which makes me mad. D:<

Thanks everyone for an advices.

Yeah I lost all my downloads and I knew it. So I downloaded new furniture, but I can't see them.

I downloaded that Colour enabled packager, but that doesn't helps....

I tried all of yours advices but nothing helps. :((

Does your Download folder have a capital D? I'm sorry I am trying to think of anything I can. We are gonna figure this out. :)

Yup it haves :D Because I can see all my scins, hairs and etc.

Try the following. It sounds strange, but it might work:

Pull your entire downloads folder out and put it somewhere safe (your desktop, for example). Start your game without no cc loaded, then shut down and put your downloads folder back in. Restart your game and, when asked, enable custom content (it will automatically be disabled). Close the game and restart.

That might do the trick. At least I hope it does.

Also, try deleting your groups.cache file

Strange but that helped me :happy8: :D :-P

Thanx for everybody.:worship:


;)

Ah, good! I'm glad you've got it fixed :)

Well, I wouldn't suggest deleting any original files. Try one of the following:

1. When you open up your game a window should pop up right before the neighborhood selection screen. The window should have a list of custom content and check "enable custom content". If the window doesn't pop up try look for it in your game settings or try the custom content browser when you enter a neighborhood (on the menu at the bottom there should be a an asterisk icon (*) on the left, click on that).

2. Open your Downloads folder and check the address bar on the top to see if the folder is in the correct place. It should be at Documents and Settings\"YOUR NAME"\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads or something very similar.
"YOUR NAME" is your computer username.

3. Make sure that all of your custom content (downloaded files) can be used with the version of the Sims 2 that you have installed.

All of my suggestions have been mentioned before in this topic so I can't understand exactly what the problem could be. If these don't work try caffeinated.joy's last suggestion.

Hopefully you can use your custom furniture soon.

Did you try Joy's suggestion quoted at the top of this page?  :angel:
