Intalling Furnishings into The Sims 2
  1. Click on the "DOWNLOAD" button. If you are asked for your Platinum username and password, enter it. If you don't have a Platinum subscription you will need to subscribe by going here to have access to the download you're requesting.
  2. You should be asked if you'd like to save or open your file. Save it to a location on your computer that you will remember like the "My Documents" folder or on your "Desktop." We recommend that you make a special folder on your computer to keep all of the .zip files you download from WDS and other sites. For example, you may have a folder on your desktop called "WDS" where you keep WDS files and a folder on your desktop called "SimNonesuch" where you keep SimNonesuch files.
  3. Find the .zip file you've downloaded and decompress the file to: (For TS2 users)
    My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads
    The first time you download, you may not have a "Downloads" folder in your The Sims 2 directory. You may create it by going into The Sims 2 folder in "My Documents" and adding a folder called "Downloads". You can't have folders within the downloads folder or those items will NOT show up. Decompressing .zip files is a built in function of Windows ME and beyond and can be accessed by right-clicking on the .zip file and selecting "Extract All..." If you don't have this built in you may need to use a free decompression tool like Filzip or WinZip.
  4. Your furnishings will now be available for you in the game.
  5. Make sure your game options are set to accept custom content. The information is in the FAQ.
  6. Never rename the files in your download directory; they will stop showing up.
  7. Some files require CEP. This is listed in requirements, you must have the CEP installed for these items to appear in your game. Get it from the SimPe site.
