How
do I put the files into my game?
You will need WinZip or another similar program to open our
files. You can download a free trail copy of Winzup from the Winzip website. Extract the
file following the instructions provided by your decompression
software. Once extracted, do one of the following:
For Houses - Double-click on the .Sims2Pack file and follow
instructions given by the Maxis Installer.
For Objects, Walls and Floors - Move the extracted fills to your My
Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads folder.
The recolored obects
are not
appearing in my game. Why? Make sure you have downloaded the mesh, either
available here on the site or by following the link to the site of the
mesh creator.
You will also need the Color Enable Package (CEP) for many of the
recolors available on this site. You can download the CEP files
from MTS2.
Last, but not least, make sure you have the required expansion pack for
that particular mesh. If an expansion is not specified on our
site, please check the site of the mesh creator for more information.
What is the policy
for using the files on this site?
Houses - Please do not
upload houses to the exchange. Please do not upload them to
another site and claim they are your own creation.
Recolors - You are free
to use the recolors available on this site in your lot packages and
exchange them freely. These recolors must remain free. If
you use them in a lot that will be a pay file, please direct
downloaders back to this site so they can download the needed files for
free. Credit is always appreciated, but not needed.
Meshes - At this point,
all meshes available on this site are made by other creators. In many cases, we have been
given written permission to use their meshes in our creations.
Please check their read-me files or sites to view their individual
policies on useage of their mesh files. Our free use policy does
not extend to their meshes.
Is Seriously Amused
Sims a file-share friendly site?
Yes. Feel free to share our files via email or instant message
programs. We are both proud members of Neighborhood 99 and
encourage file sharing through their POBS, but you
are free to exchange elsewhere as needed.
