Are they .package files or .sims2pack files?

If they're packages, you can just drop them into the downloads folder can be done with it. If they're sims2packs, use the Clean Installer.

It says they're a PACKAGE file.
What do you mean 'you can just drop them into the downloads folder can be done with it.'
Please explain...
