this is a guide on how to properly install custom content into your sims 2 game
Alright, i have added a related link that will bring you to something called WinRAR. you need to download WinRAR in order to extract the files and use them in your game. don't worry, the program is free and completely safe.
when that is downloaded, go into
My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2
then create a new folder and name it "Downloads" put everything you download for the sims 2 into this folder.
the files should look like a stack of three books, when they are in your newly created folder, select them all and right click, then select "Extract here"
when the process is finished you can safely delete the "Stacks of books" but keep the white files in that folder at all times.
now when you start your game you might get a pop up saying you have new content in your game, just select the box that says you want to keep the content in the game and then close the game and restart.
now when you go into create a sim, or buy mode, all of the custom content that you have downloaded will appear in your game!

How do you download new skins to the sims 3?
Thru different custom sims websites. One is Modthesims.com. But what i do is just download sims from the sims 3 exchange. Look for a sim that has clothes, hair, and eyes that are not in the game by clicking on one and viewing the outfits and stuff. Then if you download that sims to your game, you might get lucky and get free custom content! I works, I have alot of skins in my game and I got all of them free from the exchange. Happy Simming :)
