@Leopardka , something isn't recognizing the sims you downloaded. And you tried to import them into Body Shop? Hummmm...... I have heard of this before, but I can't recall the solution. Let me check on it.

    @Tremayne4260 I tried to import them, but somehow I thought that having them in "Download" file is enough? Should I try to import them also somewhere else?

      @Leopardka You did not just copy and paste the character files, did you? How did you extract them?

      Your screenshot shows that the files (Sims?) are in the Teleport folder. They should not be in there if they are .Package files. Teleport folder is used for import files that are transferred to the correct folder once the game is launched. Any installed Sims go to the SavedSims folder if they are .Package files. Also make sure you do not install Sims into the Downloads folder.

        @mate54 I extracted the files through TS2 Clean Installer. They somehow went to the Teleport folder and Download by themselves after extraction - they are .package file atm). I tried creating a sim in Body Shop and "SavedSims" was created, though even sims that were extracted here from BodyShop don't show up in the game. That's so weird!
