How do I download stuff for my sims 2?

Question

I really need help how do I get things from the internet and download them into the game The Sims 2

Answer 1

Your best bet is to do downloads from the official Sims site. You just log in with your registration code the first time and you're all set to download from there forever. The downloads from the official site automatically install into your game and you don't have to worry where your download folder is. Very easy. That's also where you get your game patches and tips for cheats and other support such as the great forum there where people can answer most sims questions better than they can here (and faster too, cos you're not depending on a handful of simmers, there are thousands of simmers there)

If you want to do riskier downloads, there are many fansites to try. Be aware that you may unknowingly get hacks with some kinds of downloads, particularly house and object downloads at other sites. If these corrupt your game, you will have trouble starting up, and you will also have a lot of glitches. Learning to do safe downloads is imperative and it's best to start with baby steps.

Speaking of babysteps... To learn how to do downloads, go to Sims Resource and sign up for a free membership. You'll be able to download free stuff from there and get directions for how to do this right from that site. Avoid downloading houses, hacks and objects at first. Generally getting hair and clothes and accessories like earrings and necklaces are quite safe. Custom stuff will require you to download meshes. You will learn about that at Sims Resource. Once you get some miles under your wings, then you can try other sites and feel more confidence.
