Post by: enteixax on May 03, 2008, 04:40:00 am

Still when i am in game all the clothings are there but the items dont apear in the catalog, and yes iv been in options and accept special content (I donno if you say this like this)

you're supposed to OPEN the rar files, not CONVERTING them! the package files are inside the rar files.

you did download the meshes, right?

and they should appear first in the opened zip map. then you mark them and drag them over to the downloads folder.

and if you install lots/houses, sims or walls, you should download the sims2 clean installer and open the "sims2pack" files with that instead of the default maxis installer.

(and have a little patience. even though I go through the help thread maybe a few times a day, I (and everyone else) are not running a "24-hour help-service". that means please NO PM's for questions in the help thread. if someone can help you, they'll answer here when they have the time.)

If it's clothing not showing up, as was mentioned earlier it's possibly a missing mesh. Make sure when you download items that you thoroughly read the post. The creator will always say if a mesh is needed and usually where to find it.

It might be a good idea for you to take some time and read this (http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Downloading_for_Fracking_Idiots_2) just to confirm you did everything correctly.

If you did, then this (http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:GCCTSU) is probably your next step in looking for a solution.

It's always a good idea to take some time and learn how everything works. It sometimes seems confusing at first but it gets easier the more you know.

and also make sure you've got the expansion packs/stuff packs (EP/SP) that is required for the items.

(an if it's the collection files you are trying to install, remember that it's the objects you must install in the DL folder - not the collection file. that goes in collections)
