Re: Sims 2 Super Collection

@lavarmccallm , when you download CC for Sims 2, the CC (unless otherwise noted by the creator) should show as the following formats ("CC name.sims2pack" or "CC name.package"). When you have the Aspyr Package Installer program loaded make sure it points directly to your Downloads folder in your Sims 2 folder. The Sims 2 files for the Mac are hidden in your Library folder instead of in the Documents folder.

To find your Library folder, click on your Desktop, find the "Go" command at the top in the Finder, hold your cursor button over Go and press the Option key on your keyboard at the same time and Library will show when you do that. Scroll through the Library folders until you find one called "com.aspyr.sims2.appstore" and open the folder. You should see two files in there and open the Data File. From there, locate another file named "Library" and then in that file you should should find another Aspyr folder which when opened will reveal the Sims 2 folder (exactly like the original game and on the Windows side). From there check to see if you have a folder named "Downloads" and if you do not, simply create one. This is where all your CC and Mods will be stored.

My advice is to organize your CC into categories within this folder once you get it up and running.

If your CC has the ".sims2pack" extension, you will have to use the Package Installer to "uncompress" the file to now show the ".Package" extension. All CC in the game must have the ".package" extension to run.

Please let me know if this works for you.

    @Tremayne4260 Hi thank you for your help. I followed your steps to get to my Sims 2 Files Folder. It was a piece of cake. I do apologize but when I try to download the Custom Content. The Package Installer keeps saying Double-Click and I can not click on nothing else. I still think I’m doing something wrong. Also when you said “You have the Aspyr Package Installer program loaded make sure it points directly to your Downloads folder in your Sims 2 folder.” Can you please tell me how to do that? I do apologize but I’m not sure how to. I tried to research on google on how, but could not find anything.

    Thanks,
