Re: Sims 2 MAC: how to install custom content

Hi thanks for helping out! I did those same steps already like I was able to locate that Sims 2 folder using that command in Go from Finder, I made the downloads folder and added the four skins that end in ".package". They're in there and like I booted up the game and went to the menu to enable CC but I don't get a startup message that I have CC, I don't even know if that is something that should happen, I went to CAS to see if they showed up and nothing. How does one check if they're successfully added in game? Or what should I try to ensure that they are? 

@bobizkewl , once you enable the CC option, you need to quit out of the game and then restart it for the changes to take affect. Start you game up and see if you get the message about having CC installed and you should see the option to enable has been checked.

I restarted my game after enabling CC and nothing shows up. 

@bobizkewl , can you take a screenshot of your Downloads folder showing the contents? 

Sure thing! 

@bobizkewl , looks like everything is good to go there. Next, I'd like for you to go into CAS and look at the skin tones available. If they have a "*" by them, then those are your skin colors that you added to the game and you're good to go.

Hi took another screenshot, I see the symbol for CC and the regular skins that come in the game, I don't see the other ones?

@bobizkewl , I think these skin tones are default replacements which means they "overwrite" the Maxis ones in your game. I can't remember if they will show up as CC or not. Just to be sure, download something else like curtains or furniture to see if they show up in game. Make sure they are new items and not a default replacement just so we can test. Don't remove these current pieces of CC just yet.

Hi once again! I did get a furniture item and it appeared in the game just fine, with initial pop up message upon starting the game, not only that but I did also realize that the skins are back to normal, it was just the one family i was playing that still has that issue but that's ok, I imagine it's because they weren't made with that skin replacement. So all in all I think it's all good now, thank you so much for your patience and your help! 🙌 

@bobizkewl , you are most welcome. 🙂
