You didnt give much detail about the problem but maybe you should go back to the website that you downloaded it from and re-download it, or look through your sims 2 files for what ever it is.
Unless you have another Sims 2 expansion that you downloaded AFTER the sims 2 pets has been downloaded on you comuter, then you cant play it without the disk, Unless you have another Sims 2 expansion that you downloaded AFTER the sims 2 pets has been downloaded on you comuter, then you cant play it without the disk,
on the sims 3 exchange
You cannot find it because dogs will only work if you have the sims 3 pets.
Go to edit town and look for the house you downloaded.
That would really depend on what the items were. They could be in buy mode, build mode, create a Sim (for Sims, clothing, hair, etc.), or edit town (if it was a lot).
I downloaded the Sims 3 and the Ambitions, they both work. I got the Sims Ambitions from a torrent website. Utorrent is a good website for downloading things like that.
To play with sims you've downloaded from the sims 2 website you simply enter Create-a-sim and click the tab where maxis created saved sims are. Then simply click the next arrow and find the sim(s) you've downloaded. Then click on the sim. The random sim should disappear and show the downloaded sim. If you don't find the sim you want in the folder, make sure your random sim is the same gender as the downloaded one. I'm pretty sure that the folder icon is six little people.
You can if you have already downloaded the Sims 2 pets game. Without it if your able to download an animal your game might crash.
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.
The Same thing is happening to me. I went to the pre-made sims box and it has the sims the the creators made and the ones that i downloaded but i cant see them D: it that whats happening to you?
If you downloaded it from mod the sims or sims 2 it should be in your catalog you may also need a driveway as well. (:
Your downloads are usually in your Downloads folder. If they aren't there, then they may be in a folder called "Temp" The best browser to download things from is Firefox because it has a feature that lets you go to the folder that the download is in. I hope I answered your question with enough detail.
