Okay so I have the Sims 2 (no expansion packs), and I just downloaded a bunch of clothes, genetics, make-up and skin tones to my game. I unzipped them, they became packaging files, and saved them in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\Downloads

And they didn't work. I can't see them anywhere. It's as though they don't exist.

I've read every tutorial/thread/whatever on this subject and i have honestly tried everything. I downloaded a patch. I turned on that custom thing enabling thingy (i forget what its called exactly) and restarted the game, i went through the step-by-steps and i'd done all of that stuff. I've checked that i don't have any files that aren't packaging files in the Downloads folder. I've got all the meshes.

I can't even click on the little asterix thing for custom content because according to the game, there is none!

PLEASE HELP ME. I AM LITERALLY GOING INSANE.

as far as i can see, it should be working!! But its not!!

The reason why the files aren't showing up in because they have to be in My Documents/username/EA Games/The Sims2/Downloads. Please see this (http://www.modthesims2.com/article.php?t=192907) FAQ and let us know if you have further questions.
