• Answer:

  1- Download a mod, or hack, from any of the various Sims 2 websites. Save it to a safe place on your computer where you will remember to find it, such as the Desktop or a custom subfolder of the My Documents folder. 2- Extract the downloaded file from its compressed form (usually .zip or .rar files). The file will now be a .package file, a .bak file, or a .sims2pack file. It may also include .jpeg, .gif, or .bmp files (which can be deleted), or a .doc or .txt file, which should be opened & read thoroughly for further instructions about the mod or hack. 3- IF THE FILE IS A .PACKAGE FILE OR A .BAK FILE: Put it into the Sims 2 "Downloads" folder. This folder is usually going to be located under My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 in your computer. If you have found that location & there is no folder named "Downloads", you can go ahead and create one. 4- IF THE FILE IS A .SIMS2PACK FILE: Double click on it. A blue window will pop up asking you to install the content. Click OK or Accept or Yes or whichever option the installer has. 5- Congratulations, the content should now be installed.
