Go to the pre-made sims bin, and you should be able to pull them up there.And for the lots, you have to go to the tab on the main menu that says Edit Town. At the bottom of the screen there should be lots that you can place. That is probably where they're hiding.
You can use one of two ways: Since Custom Content downloaded from The Sims Exchange is in the proper file format, you can just double-click on the file after it has been downloaded to your computer. The Sims 2 Package Installer will then pop up and allow you the option to quit or automatically install the custom content. Or: After downloading Custom Content, you must place the file in the Download folder under My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2. If there isn't a Download folder there, then you can create one. Make sure you spell it right, or it won't work. After you have done ONE of the above options, you must: Then enter the game and go to the Game Options menu under Options and choose the option to allow Custom Content to be used in the game. After that, you must restart the game. You will know which objects are Custom Content objects by the large Star icon in the bottom right hand corner of the objects' thumbnail picture in the game.
You can find custom content on various third-party websites, or by downloading pre-made Sims with custom content from the Sims 3 Exchange.
Well it depends on the expansion packs that you have installed, maybe you downloaded something that may need a different expansion pack , some people that make custom content displays on their profile what expansion pack they use maybe be they missed a fact, check wisely all of your custom content i recomend you to use the sims 2 pack cleaner installer you can downloaded from MTS2 well hope it works...
After you have downloaded more than your computer has room for, the custom content will start deleting parts of your game to fit the content. IT CAUSES YOUR COMPUTER TO CRASH!!! I would know, it happened to me. :(
it means what you downloaded wasn't packaged right, or has other problems and is causing your game to crash, the only solution is to delete the custom content that is causing the crash.
To get custom content sign up to ea. Then go to the exchange, and download other user stuff it's really cool! If you want to create your own custom content, go onto the body shop, create a sim, create a house, or family!
it could be maybe cause you downloaded some custom content??
You may get custom content from the official Sims 3 Exchange. However, if you would like more variety of content, there are always third-party sites such as The Sims Resource and SimsVIP. You may find the links to these sites below.
make sure you downloaded it correctly you need to extract it with winrar if you downloaded it correctly then when you enable custom content it should show up when you left click one of you teen or adult sims.
The only reason your custom content does not show in body shop, it is because you have downloaded from the Internet . You must find your games body shop and create parts there. [p. s. It has happened to me also..]
You go to the folder you downloaded the items in, and simply delete them. (The folder is Documents/EA games/ Sims 2/ Downloads)
The pregnancy test item can only be downloaded from custom content websites as it isn't an item provided in the base game or any of its expansion packs.
