Hey guys. It really has been awhile since I've submitted some custom content and I do plan on doing that soon. Right now, I'm having some pros and cons. I just recently updated to windows 10 and I had to figure out how to install the sims 2. Now that I've installed the sims 2, I'm trying to figure out how to download custom content within the game. Is there anyone that know about installing custom content through windows 10?

Don't you just drop it into \Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\? IIRC, though, you might need to unblock/take ownership of the folder if that doesn't work, though someone else would know more about this.

It should be the same as always, unzip the package files and extract them to the correct path - through my documents, to the downloads folder. If I remember correctly a brand new install might not have a downloads folder? If you go into my documents/ea games/the sims 2 (or the equivalent on your machine) And don't see a downloads folder there you may have to make one. Can't recall for sure if that's the case but it would make sense to me? It's been a looooooooooooong time since I started a clean game.

If it's been a while since you last played TS2, you may want to check out this topic on how to make CC show up: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php...ame_Help:GCCTSU

When installing CC it doesn't matter much which Windows version you have, as long as you find the right folder. The newer Windows versions (Vista or 7, and later) will sometimes create an extra, empty EAgames folder, but you should use the one with files in it. The newer Windows versions can have some hiccups at first, but once you sort those out, installing CC works pretty much the same way as always.

Yes. I did make a downloads folder. I just haven't tested to see if the downloads folder is working yet.

That's weird. Sorry I don't know how to help, but I have Windows 10 and it works fine for me, the custom content.

I think too that when you first go in, you have to enable custom content and then you may have to quit and reload.

It will work as normal

I am pretty sure the problem is solved now but I still wanted to add that I have over 1000 downloads and I am playing sims 2 on win10 and everything works perfect
