Re: Sims 2 MAC: how to install custom content
@Riini16233 , when you say "download" do you mean download and open the file from the creator? Or do you mean using the "Package Installer"?
If you are talking about downloading the file directly from the creator, you sometimes will need either Unarchiver or some other file extraction program. You can find one for free at the Apple App store. Unzip is another program you can look for. Quite often the ".package" files are either zipped or uploaded as a ".rar" file which means they will need to be unzipped before installing them in the Downloads folder in your Sims 2 folder.
The Sims 2 Package Installer is similar to Unzip in that it uncompresses the files from the ".Sims2pack" files and automatically installs them in the game. Unzip will not automatically install the ".package" files in the game. You have to do that yourself by opening up the Downloads folder and placing the .package file in there.
Just trying to understand exactly what you are doing to install the CC in your game. 🙂
