how do you download a custom sim?

[tryp-777]

I downloaded a custom sim and the required meshes but I cant seem to figure out how to find this sim in-game? Can someone please post instructions (from start to finish) on downloading a custom sim that requires multiple meshes and recolors?

Please read this article Downloading for Fracking Idiots (http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Downloading_for_Fracking_Idiots) and don't be intimidated by the title. It's a joke. It will tell you step by step how to do it. If you still have questions you can see this article Getting Custom Content to Show Up (http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:GCCTSU) and this one Sims/Pets don't show up (http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:GCCTSU10) for good measure! :P

Please let us know how it goes and if you have any questions!
