Never used folders before?

Don't worry, it is easy as this:

1. Close down your sims game. Never try to do this while the game is running.
2. Double click on "My Computer" which brings up a new window.
3. Double click on "C" which brings up a new window.
4. Double click on the folder called "Program Files"
5. Double click on the folder called "Maxis"
6. The same for the folder called "The Sims"
7. The same for "GameData"
8. Then "UserObjects"
9. Can you see what's happening? Where I say something like C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\GameData\UserObjects each time there is a forward-slash symbol \ this means there is a new folder of that name inside the previous folder. This is actually a set of instructions called a "Path" and is like a postal address.

How do I create a new folder?

You can see in the image below that I have the "The Sims" window open, but you can do this in any window. Click on File, then New, then Folder. Give your new folder a name which is easy to see what it contains - for example, "SpareStuff". The path to this folder will then be C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\SpareStuff
