Downloading Files

When you choose to download a file, Windows will pop up a small window to ask you if you want to open the file or save the file to your computer. 

(Action: select "Save this file to disk" )

 

After that, another small window pop up to ask you where to put the file. 

(Action: select the right folder as below)

  • Put the Objects files to: C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\Downloads
    Put the Skins files to: C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\Game Data\Skins
    Put the Walls files to: C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\Game Data\Walls
    Put the Floors files to: C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\Game Data\Floors
    Put the Houses files to: C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\User Data\Houses

UNZIP the file

Go to the file you have just downloaded and double click on the file to open it. A WinZip window will open. (If you don't have a registered version, choose 'Accept' or 'I Agree'). The next stage varies depending on whether you use WinZip Wizard or Classic modes. This example will assume you are using the Classic Mode. If not, the Wizard should walk you through similar steps.

When WinZip opens, it will show you a list of the files enclosed. 

Click on the large 'Extract' . This will open up an Explorer type browser. Using this, open up the folders until you come to C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\xxxxxx (replace the xxxxxx by Downloads, Skins, Walls, Floors or Houses). Then, click on OK, and the files will be extracted to that folder. Now run the game, the new things will appear in your game! 

 If the file is a house, you will be overwriting an existing file, so you will be prompted and asked if you wish to overwrite. Just select yes. If you like the existing house of the same lot, please backup the file first.

** Quit "The Sims" before you download and unzip something to your game ** 

If you follow this instruction carefully, you may successfully installed the download files to your game.
