.sims2pack

Hello 🙂
I have a question about The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection. I want download houses from the internet, but I must instal .sims2pack. When I click installer the window opens with text ,,To install the item, double-click on the item package file'' What I can do with this? I have windows 8.1 😉

    Sorry, @aaKarololo, silly me! I didn't realize it could be seen in the screenshot you attached 🤭

    The window is telling you it doesn't know with which program to open the .sims2pack, right? Click on the purple text to specify with which program you want them to be opened:

    1. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\CSBin
    2. Select PackageInstaller.exe

    After that, the icon should change and the sims2pack should work 😉

    Hi @aaKarololo, and welcome to Answers HQ! :eahigh_file:

    I'm sorry, I'm not sure I am understanding exactly what's happening. When you double-click on the sims2pack to install the content, you get a message telling you to double-click to install it?

    How does the icon of the sims2pack file look like? Is it a white page?
