And the other one under C:\Program files (x86). One under C:\Users\(your username)\My Documents. Where are "the folders for installing all the stuff"? Try getting used to basically two different "sets" of folders. In those cases, one needs to pay particular attention to what expansions need to be installed, in order for the custom content to work. However, some of you - especially those of you familiar with the technicalities of The Sims 2 - may have installed only a few of the expansions/stuffpacks. Namely all expansions and stuffpacks, so there shouldn't be an issue. What expansions and stuffpacks does this particular piece of custom content need in order to function? Those of you who downloaded and installed Games4theworld's Complete Collection of The Sims 2, will have installed according to the recommended installation procedure. Several questions you should be asking yourselves once you spot items you seem to take interest in:
In order to do that though, you'll need to download the custom content at first. Try getting used to adding custom content slowly to your game, and over time! The more items you add to your game in "one batch", the more difficult any troubleshooting will become. However, you should not assume that all these items will work flawlessly in your The Sims 2 game.įor starters you will save yourselves many difficulties later on, if you get used to not blindly adding masses of custom content that look shiny on the websites you get them from. If you think more closely about it, there is a dazzling variety of custom content on the internet. Hairstyles, shoes/other clothing items, skintones, custom-made houses/sims, and even script mods that are able to influence/override existing in-game mechanics. Custom-made items can include many things. The Sims-franchise games always enjoyed a popularity, that has inspired some of its fans to come up with custom-made game content on their own. I) What is custom content what should I keep in mind when downloading them? In the successor-games (TS3 and TS4) it's mostly enough to simply "look at the patch version of the game", but that alone doesn't work in The Sims 2. I found the need for a more elaborate series of posts on this, because of the nuanced nature of The Sims 2. In this "Part I" I'll be addressing issues about file formats, custom content types, folder locations and related stuff. This introductory tutorial should give you some basic ideas about the things that need to be kept in mind when installing custom content for The Sims 2.
