I finally figured it out...I think...I got most of my CC downloads but a lot of them are not showing up in either Body Shop or in game CAS...but I got enough for now to make a few new Sims...happy Dance. lol...I have a posting with pics...now have another question...the Antlers they were under glasses...so when they have kids the Antlers won't be inherited...did I do something wrong there...

I also downloaded the antlers that was for the toddler but I didn't look to see if it was there...
thanks everyone for all your help...

did to find the posting on the Antlers so I can thank the person..

Here is another new CC Sims...I can't find the posting that had the antlers...will look for it some more and thank them...When I went in to make these sims the antlers was under the glasses is that where they are supposed to be...because if it is then when they have kids the antlers won't be inherited..did I do something wrong when I downloaded them...

just got back from my grandson's last home game they lost but they should be proud they are 10-1 and 1 forfeit from the other team and they have 1 more game for the season tomorrow night....as long as they don't think about tonight's game and just think of the other 10 they have won they should do good...

I have just made my first CC Sims  can anyone give me an opinion on them and let me know what you all think they are posted under sims pics...I am not sure how to get the faces closer to take pics but have links to all the CC that I used...thanks

OMG I think I am done...I had done all this in my Photobucket but then when I went to save it didn't save and had to do it all over again...from now on when I download something even if it don't show up my my game or BodyShop I will still write it all down first lol...

I hope I did this right..please let me know if I didn't or if I did...

well I figured out part of them...been spending the day downloading hair, eyes, skin tones, and antlers got part of them not all....the antlers I still don't have them....but will figure it out sooner or later...tomorrow will go back and find out who made all of these and then I will make my first cc Sims...

opps forgot to say how I got some of them...had to do the extraction 2 times...once in my Sims2 Double Deluxe and then go back and extract them in the Sims2 Store Edition...is this how everyone else does it or is there an easier way...but I can't complain I do have CC in my games...happy dance

thanks everyone that helped or tried to help me...

ya after I download something I check in the Body Shop and then go into the game and check in the CAS and see if anything worked...

well I downloaded some skins and they worked not sure what I did but they are in my Body Shop and in CAS...but the antlers, eyes, are not there...am going to try to get some hair and makeup and see if those work...just wish I can remember what I did right with the skins...

thanks everyone for all your help

Thanks Theraven for your help but I have already checked those out and I thought I had followed the instructions...this is why I came here for help because everything that those sites said to do I did and still nothing...believe me after 3 days of trying to do this myself I am at a loss...even that Fracking_Idiots is not doing anything for me lol...I'm sorry for being a pain on this stuff...

Do I create the download folder C:\.....Documents\EA Games\The Sims2\Downloads.........because I tried to create one with all that is typed and it won't allow me to use the \ ....what I have is in Documents I have EA Games and when I click on that I have Sims2 Double Deluxe and Sims2 Store Edition but don't have a folder with C:\.....Documents\EA Games\The Sims2\Downloads...I knew I was doing something wrong...

I know I had a post on here about downloading zip and rar but for the life of me can't find it...I know I swore I would never ever download things again for my Sims2 but I just can't help it...I know I am going to have to do another factory restore if I don't stop this...I have spent the last 3 days downloading beautiful creations like for the hair, makeup, eyes and skin but nothing is showing up in the Body Shop or in the game with CAS...don't understand what I am doing wrong...I downloaded the 7-zip and extracted the files but not sure what to do after that...I have folders made for these items and put them in the documents and also made these folders and put them in the Sims2 files...downloaded these to each of them as well thinking that if I have them in 3 different places something will work...I haven't even played my Sims2 in the last 3 days...

I have read in several places on how to do these downloads but I know I am doing something wrong...

I would like for someone to help me with very simple steps on doing this...please...If I still can't get them to work I promise I will stop...and anyone can give me a computer kick in the butt lol if I ask again...

Thanks in advance for any help I can get...

I have 2 couples Lisa and Checo Ramirez and the Tinkers I can't seem to get them to be BFF's...they have 3 bolts...they are almost elders now with 2 kids each and for the life of me I can't get them to be BFF's they are the only sims that I have that are not BFF's other than a few of the professors that won't become BFF's with their students but not worried about them...just Lisa and Checo and the Tinkers...can anyone help me please...

thanks for all your help in advance...

UPDATE: omg....I did it...I have looked at that Sim blender a lot of times and as soon as I seen it was a zip I would go in panic mode and say no way no how not going to mess up my computer or game again...but I took the chance and did it...and it worked...both of my couples are now BFF's...someone on live journal suggested I try the Sim blender and I took that step and did it and it worked...and I didn't mess up my computer or game...HAPPY DANCE 

sitting here trying to warm up...only 11 above with wind chills -8...the snow finally left now the fun begins NOT...the very cold air starts coming in...high tomorrow -13 and who knows what the wind chill will be...went grocery shopping this morning spent less than an hour in Walmart and when my son and I came out the temp had dropped 5 degrees and the winds got worse...I won't be going anywhere for the rest of the week that is for sure...will be spending all my time on Sims2...but my son has to work outside in that bitter cold in the morning bought him some feet warmers...hope everyone stays warm specially you guys that live in the North and Northeast...you guys that live in Canada I really feel for you...be careful out there..

update: wind chill tonight is going to get to -30...wind has picked up big time and I turned on the water to drip out of both sinks and the shower...

I could have sworn I posted this before but can't find it...Is there a way of bringing a child's grades up.. I always wait till the child has an A+ before I age them to teen...but I don't want to wait through the weekend before he gets the A+...it can't be custom content or rar or zip for the downloading...maybe a cheat...

someone had given me a cc that was just a straight download for getting rid of annoying friends...it was that napkin holder...is there something like that that would up the grades of kids...

thanks everyone for your help in advance...

UPDATE: well I just went ahead and aged him up to a teen...but if anyone knows anything about cheats bringing up grades please let me know...thanks

I can't download anything....I don't know how to do the rar and zip files...I have messed up my game and my computer soooo many times that I have finally decided to just look not touch lol...I can't even delete the things that I download without messing up and have to do a factory restore on the computer...have been in tears to many times...unless someone is standing over my shoulder and walking me though things I have no clue otherwise...hope to see more of your stuff...

I love your stuff...wish I could download these...thanks for sharing...

I love your stuff...wish I could download these...at least I get to look at awesome creations that you did as well as other creative people on here...

lol how funny...love it
