[Ackles4life]

I wanna know, does anyone here know if you can download custom content, for SIMS 2 and/or 3, onto a PS3??

I specifically bought this one, so that I can still play PS2 games. And it's a PS3 so I have an internet connection... Anyone know anything about this???? No guessing please.

[MzShaybutta]

@Ackles4life -You can't download custom content for console games, only for PC/Mac...Sorry about that.

[colorsomething]

@Ackles4life NO! You can only download cc for computers of any sort. :O

It was good info, but im afraid none of it worked for me. I did everything it said, and i do have WinRAR, but no custom content. It's enabled but nothing shows up. please help

[The3lols4u]

I have downloaded a video game from there and I restarted the game to make it work, so after restarting, I went to my neighborhood made a video game store, (including the content) and when I was finished, I went back to my family, went to the lot, bought the game, and went back to my family's apartment and played on the wii, but all it did was blink blue all the time, (including on the computer!) Can someone tell what's wrong? How come it works for other people on YouTube?!

[reinoheya]

thank you so much for the information.

However, I have a problem. When i start up my sims2 game nothing appears of 'custom content'  help? :C

[JordanHeadful]

Well, this is still available on:

downloadblinks . c__o__m

[videowatcherK]

Oh...my....gosh....I love you!! You have no clue how many hours I've tried to do this...!! Yay!!! I owe you!! Even though I don't know you! :D

[MISSFUSSYBUTT]

thanx!it helped alot....

[LiveLoveBieberJonas]

I installed WinZip and extracted the stuff i downloaded but i still can't find it, my custom content is enabled so where would i find it??

Great tutorial though =)

[lolfaghole]

@LiveLoveBieberJonas I've had the same problem before, at first it may not work, unfortunately - but after a few days, it should be in your game... it might just be a problem with the files or your computer. I'm not sure what the problem is with it, but that's what happened with me. Hope this helps & happy simmin =)

[KoolKat6199]

thanks!

[iLuvShaneDawson6067]

Wow this video is the only one that helped me. Every single other one didn't work and this one like actually helped me and now I have custom content! But I got mine of XM Sims.com. Everyone should check it out!

[Sims3Addict101]

[113MCRluver113]

@hopeystar1 rarely. Some sites ask you to pay for certain downloads, but modthesims is free, as well as the official sims2 website.

[dorkette321]

@hopeystar1 no, im pretty sure its illegal to charge for sims 2 content

there are free sites everywhere just google them :)

[xxMissBr33xx]

OK I need major help. All morning i've been watching various youtube videos searching for a way to install custom content to my laptop. Since i recently got my laptop i do not fully understand the ins and outs of it and I need help. This video somewhat helped as did the other videos but I have a Dell Inspiron and everything seems so hi-tech on my laptop compared to the ones fetured on youtube. If you know how to add downloads to the Dell Inspiron please tell me immedatly. Thanks.

[lmao1ttyl]

i have the sims 2 on mac, does this work for mac as well (: .

[berrysweet926]

[lalalaih8waffles]

[Kandiflozz]

This is annoying, you mean i have to go and put it on (takes 4 mins) then click 1 button then shut it down (takes 7 mins) and then put it on again?!!! (takes 4 mins) so i have to go through all that for 1 thing!! grrrrr!!! :(

[rayanalhakami]

[taurusbabe1996]

when i save the file it turned to a zipped folder what should i do???

[MoonlightandMidnight]

[PalmTreeHawaii]

@taurusbabe1996 you don't save it you open it and drag it to the ea downloads folder

[TheBubbles899]

it works for me with the ea documents folder

[PunjabiStyle4ever]

when i right click 2 extract there isnt a thing there that says "extract" & when i double click on the custom content it says i need 2 insert the sims 2 double deluxe, but when i intesert that it tells me i need to put sims 2 open for buissness back in? help :(, thanks

[holydiver7]

Quick question, where do you find the 'enable custom content' button? Bar that, everything is good!

[AWashedUpStereotype]

This was a really good informative video, well done :]

I have one tiny question though...

To extract the files do you need anything like winrar?

Or can you just... do it? XD

Thank you :]

[Ziebinaski94]

Umm... I'm pretty sure you need WinZip or WinRAR.

[MissMedia97]

@Ziebinaski94 really? I don't have either, and I think that I might've extracted it Thanks a lot, before I wasn't able to use that site. Now I can!!

[emmagodsland]

@Ziebinaski94 do u have winrar or winzip ? xox

[kaylah8009]

@AWashedUpStereotype watch my sims 2 cc and u can figure it out cuz u dont have to extract anything or nothing!

[Forlo12345]

@AWashedUpStereotype Use winrar. It's much easier to use, in my opinion.

[maxine2110]

@AWashedUpStereotype You can also click 'open' and use firefox or internet explorer to unzip/open the files so, you can use them in your sims 2 game

[yoshikku929]

please make one for rose sims, but still u rock!

[Ziebinaski94]

Thanks ;)

[yoshikku929]

thankgoodness for u! i needed help installing mod the sims 2 and u helped me! god bless u!

[xstardreamerx]

There isnt anything in my sims 2 folder pz help!

[Ziebinaski94]

what do you means your sims 2 folder? are you sure it's installed properly?

[KoolFriendOnBoard]

What do i need to do to make it stop sayin: No cookies found? it keeps saying that when i click download?

[Ziebinaski94]

What internet browser do you use, firefox or internet explorer?

[KoolFriendOnBoard]

internet explorer

[BrownDogLover659]

@KoolFriendOnBoard Same thing happens to me!!! its really annoying!!!

[KoolFriendOnBoard]

@BrownDogLover659

Its not saying it anymore i could send you somethin that helped me stop saying it.

But i need to download proper winrar

[BrownDogLover659]

@KoolFriendOnBoard yeah all I needed to do was get that lol thnx! =]

[inerdified]

My content is enabled and everything. o.o I unzipped them into the downloads folder. The thing is I don't have anything in the Sims 2 Folder. Nothing at all. No collections etc. So I made the downloads folder and it still wont work when i unzip it to that folder :S

[123drdre321]

OK, let me awnser some problems here.

first, when you download something from that website it has to be .zip and not .rar to work.

second, normaly when it says "extract all" it says "extract here" lower, in case it doesn't, just click "extract all" and then choose the download folder.

hope I helpped

[TifffyCullen1910]

mine didnt say extract so i just moved it to the folder. and it didnt work what should i do? PLEASE HELP!!

[DanzGames]

the reason it isn't saying extract here is because i have winrar archive downloaded on my pc which helps me extraxt them

[Carahfae]

I have a question: I've been able to download everything... except houses.

Is there somewhere else I should be saving it to or something?

[Dollygirl12345]

some houses need certain expansion packs

[THEMATTBIGMAC]

ok wen i try 2 download it tells me to read "Downloading for fracking idiots" every time, and i cant upload. HELP!!!
