sometimes with stuff you download from mod the sims 2 the download might require a mesh download so it object/clothing/hair etc ... will show up in your game. usually the creator will state that it requires a mesh and give a link to the mesh download. make sure that you are also saving the content in to this mydocuments/ea games/sims 2/downloads folder,. go in to your downloads folder righ click on the files you downlaod and select "extract here" if your downloading thing like full sims or pets or lots you need to create a new folder on your desktop and call it "sims2stuff" then save the download in to the new floder you just made. go back in to the folder, find the files you downlaoded and right clickon them, select "extract here" a blue icon should then appear double click on the blue icon then click install then click ok

Did u use the Q-Xpress Installer?..if not i'd highly recommend it...also make sure u read the dummy downloading guide. It makes things much easier...Also sometimes certain downloads aren't compatible with certain expansion packs so make sure u find this information out as well. Before you download u can also view comments from other people who have downloaded the object. It's way at the bottom of the screen. It will tell u if anyone has had any problems with the item b4 u download it. Hope i helped :-)
