rar needs to be extracted or unzipped first. package files get put into the Downloads folder. Am I missing any steps? Are there any particular file types I should be trying to use? I also downloaded the Package Installer-am I supposed to be using that? I'm hopeless, I know. I tried to move some CC files in there, and then opened my game but I couldn't see anything, despite having enabled custom content. I tried to follow some of the instructions that were posted on here I went into the library, found the Sims 2 folder, and created a Downloads folder within it. I'm now debating how hard to poke through the system files to sort out empty hoods given that they aren't the easiest things to download. Having checked with custom skins and eyes adding a Downloads folder to that location works. I did send a request to Aspyr to see what they would say. I'm thinking there is a way, but I am not sure how. Yesterday I tried putting unzipped mod files into that folder thinking they might appear in the body shop, but they didn't. I'm seriously contemplating sacrificing Free Time and Apartment Life for the trade off of extra convenience and retina support, so if I can get my hacks and custom content in there I shall probably buy it. I already have a Bootcamp partition with all the Windows EPs and SPs, but I find I don't take the trouble to reboot and play it as often as I'd like. If someone can check it and find out whether it works, I'd be interested to know the results. ~/library/Containers//Data/Library/Application Support/Aspyr/The Sims 2/

It's under Library, which Apple like to hide on recent OS X versions, but it does look like it might be the place to drop all those packages into a downloads folder.

Which gives locations to find saved sims, packaged lots, custom body shop content. Instead, if we really must install 3rd party content, we are being asked to use the 'Package Installer'Īs an aside, I've tried the control-alt(option)-c to enter a debug mode in an attempt to turn off aging. So, although I have not yet tried it, my guess is that we probably can install custom content, although Aspyr is not providing us with a drop-into-folder method.
