when people make downloads not based on the shapes or themes from Maxis, they need to make a mesh to get the shape they want.
no, at least not yet,
Yes, you can
you might also need to download a mesh for them to work. check the website and see it if it gives you a link for a mesh
it means you do not have the mesh needed for the clothing to show up.
Type Into Google Sims Resource And Click On The First Popup And Then You Can Download Things From There :DD:D
Go to thesims2.com website and choose exchange sims, type mermaid in the side search bar and there are free mermaids that require no mesh.
Check whatever you want to download to see if it has a separate mesh, if does download that first, if the mesh is included you don't have to, click the download link and open the file once it is complete then using either WinRar or WinZip extract the files; My Documents>EA Games>Sims 2> Downloads.
this could be because you don't have the mesh needed for that hair style, you will need to find what site the hair first came from, once you've done this you can download the mesh then the hair will work. this is because the hair you have downloaded is only a re-color of the mesh.
Some of the downloads that you got might need somthing called mesh. The mesh stuff is usually in a link next to the download. Without the mesh, you will not see these items in the game.
What do you mean by that? Did you need a mesh for it? If so, you may have not downloaded the mesh. Go download the mesh and it may work. If you did, look it up
First you must make sure you have the proper mesh. If you do, then make sure you have put the file in your SavedSims folder.
Find the hair that you want to download, check to see if the mesh is included if it isn't you need to download that first, if it is just click on download when the file opens extract it (using WinZip or WinRar) to EA Games>The Sims 2>Downloads.
