Where do you put custom content in Sims 2 Double Delux?

Why doesn't custom content, for my Sims 3 game, look good?

• Please, anyone who knows (makes/uses/etc.) Custom Content for TS3... help me out... It's not a huge problem, but... why, when I see custom content that i like -- when I say "see" I mean posted custom content, where the designers have 'screenshots' of their actual sims (or "model" sims) using the custom content -- and it looks amazing. Like the hair, for ex. looks perfect and shiny. But when I add it to my game, on my PC and put it on my Sim. It looks extremely depleted. Not near as good. I don't know exactly how to explain this, but basically... it's like my game, or my computer just has shity graphics. Which is most likely it, because it's in no means a "new" computer. But is that the case?? And if it is... how can I get better graphics? Should I just get a better computer, or what??? Serious answers please, I'm not stupid or simple. I'm actually pretty resourceful and capable, I just don't have much of a computer brain... someone help me out, please0__0

• Answer:

  Some custom content have lower poly counts. High poly count objects will start to bog your computer down. If they look nice in the pictures, but not in your game then yes, it is your computer. For objects on your Sim like hair, try raising the Sim detail under the graphics settings to see if that helps any. If it's already at its highest, you will need to either buy a better graphics card for it to look better or replace your computer with one with better specs.
