Title: Hair Help!!
Post by: adoption_time on August 09, 2007, 12:56:25 pm
I just started to play the sims 2 for 3 months. And today I downloaded a huge package and I put it in the download file, I opened sims 2 first and couldn't find the hair anywhere so I closed it and opened body shop, I still couldn't find it. I'm completely confused how do I make it appear so my sims will have that hair style?? Please help!

okay... did you make sure it was completely unzipped?  sometimes creators put zips within zips.  that has happened to me a couple times.  also... is custom content enabled in your game.  whenever you get a new expasion or stuff pack it becomes disabled so i would check for that too.

Unzipping is kinda easy.. First you right click on your file you wanna unzip then it says extract all, click that. Once you've finished that then you can delete the zipped file but keep the file you just unzipped put that file into the download folder..
Enabling Custom Content is where you can go to the options panel and search through those and it'll say Enable or disable Custom Content..

okay... well you need to download a program like winrar (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html).  just click the giant download button.  it will want you to save it to disk.  when it's done downloading you need to install it.  that should be easy.  now... go find the zip or rar that you dowloaded.  right click it and go to open with ---> winrar archiver.  click extract in winrar and extract those suckers to your download file.  now... in your game once it is loaded go into options.  im not sure which tab it's under but under game options or something there is something that says enable custom content on/off.  make sure t is on.  if its off you will need to make it on and then restart your game before your hairs will show up.  whew!  got all that?  if not ... there are some wonderful tutorials on this site for downloading objects etc.

adoption_time - Please don't bump your own posts just because you think no one is paying attention to you. It's considered rude. Be patient and someone will eventually come along and help you.

Thank you.
