Best Answer

You have to go to the game menu and locate the tab titled "Downloads". Once there, click on the object you want to add and press the "Install" button near the bottom of the page. A pop-up window should appear. Though the installation process is usually quick, be patient and don't click around. If you are patient and there are no errors, it will tell you the installation was a success and that is done. When you play your game, your downloaded object should be accessible through ordinary ways. Happy simming!

How do you get furniture you downloaded on to your game in sims 3?

Once you download an object (hair clothing furniture ext.) you have to go to the sims 3 launcher (What pops up to play the game) and click on downloaded content. The item you downloaded will be located there. Check the item or items and click install to game. A new window will pop up and install the item or items to the game. If the game is already running, however, it will automatically install the item to the game. Remember, if the item you are downloading needs a special expansion pack, store item, or mod that you do not have it will not download. Hope this helped :) -Sunsplash
