:!: Figured it out on Windows 7 (x64). :!:
First, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\CSBin. (same place as Bodyshop)
You should see PackageInstaller.
Double-click it.
Give it a minute.
A screen should say "Double-click a sims2package to install it".
Press okay.
Then, go find a sims2pack file and double-click it.
It should bring up the "which program do you need to open this" screen.
Click Browse.
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\CSBin.
Choose PackageInstaller.
[B]MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE "ALWAYS OPEN THIS KIND OF FILE WITH THIS PROGRAM" OPTION![/B]
Click "open" or "Ok".
Wait a minute.
If that familiar "install this package" screen pops up, do a dance! :bunny:
If not, try the steps again and keep researching. :report:

I totally messed up my Sims 2 yesterday by going onto Orign and playing the Dexlue. Now II can't play either game. I uninstalled the Deluxe and Ultimate collection is just a blue screen instead of loading the game. Have Windows 7 but don't have 'open with'.

@jonsnow1792 , your best bet now days is to go to Mod The Sims and download the Sims 2 pack Clean Installer which will help you to install CC into the game as well as checking for dodgy CC. You can Google search for the site.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.

@ChronosymTried to d/l cc to Sims2 UC using these steps on Windows 10 but a blank box appears. Are there different steps for Win10?

@SIMSTER00 , no there aren't any different steps for the basic game installation. My advice to restart Origin and possibly clear your Origin cache. The only things you need to make sure you do to get the game to run properly. Make sure you download and install Graphics Rule Maker which insures that the game recognizes your graphics card. Any questions about installation and use of Graphics Rule Maker can be found at Leefish's forum (you'll need to Google search for both) and the 4GB patch. You can find excellent videos on YouTube about how to make sure that the game runs smoothly.

I did that in the game is running fine but when I try to double click on the Sims package file another box opens and it’s blank so it’s not letting me open the file to put it in the folder so it will show up in a game do you know any ways to fix that?
