Ive went step by step on modthesims2.com and it still isn't working. do I need a better graphics card? help would be appreciated. thanks :)

Sims 2 CC not showing up?

the sims 2 is more of a ram chewer rathe then a graphics card, sadly upgrading your ram or graphics card wont make any downloads show up.

first things first, when you download an object,clothing,hair you need to make sure that if there is a required mesh download you need to download it along with the original download or it wont show up in the game.

with cars, lots, sims, pets etc....

you need to do the following,

make a new folder on your desktop call it "sims2stuff"

then save your file of any of the above in the new folder you just made.

right click the file, select "extract here"

then a package file will appear, it should have like a blue icon

double click on it, then click install

if that dont work below is a link that might help you
