It's a better form of winZip or WinRar.

Download the .exe file and install it.

Think of any zip or of any rar file as a big sealed envelope.

You have to open the envelope and put its contents into your appropriate game folder(s).

Once you unzip or unrar a file, you'll have one (or many) files to put into your game. Sometimes there are additional zip files inside the original zip or rar - those would have to be opened up as well.

It is that unpacked content -- what is inside the envelope, rather than the actual envelope itself -- that the game needs in order to make the content usable.

Well, there is one thing you can try. Don't know why it works, but it sometimes does (and will do no harm regardless).

When you open the game, whatever your custom content screen is set to, set it to the other option and enter the game proper.

Then, in game options, whatever the custom content settings are, set them to the other option and quit the game.

Open the game anew and reset the game option custom content settings back to as they were before. Then quit, open the game again and set the custom content screen back to the way it was before.

Sometimes this will kickstart things to as they should be.

One other thing to check is to make sure that any packages designated Collection are in the Collections folder rather than the Downloads folder.

If the problem persists, maybe asking about it at the SimPE help forum will provide clues.

The easy way is to get File Maid here: http://mattwork.potsdam.edu/projects/SimFileMaid/index2.html
Just run it then drag the things you download onto the lawn and it does all the work.
