You could always use the SimsZip install program. It installs all ZIP files for you automatically. It is at www.SimsPlus.com
I have a place to go to http://www.simsplus.com/SGNShared/shells/simsplus.htm this place downloads it into your game for you and you can also download a thing called sim zip and you can download any sim file into your game
Thanks i have downloaded sim zip now and i have downloaded about 1000 things and im not joking! Thanks for your help everyone!!
here is all sites that I know of that do not use winzip - exculding this one http://www.simsplus.com http://www.strategyplanet.com/thesims/index.html http://members.aol.com/therookesnest/ http://www.glamoursim.com http://mysims.4t.com/ http://simstars.wibwobweb.com/ http://www.grimsoft.fsnet.co.uk/Main.htm http://www.personalizer.thesimsresource.com/ http://www.trollsims.com/ http://www.awesomesims.ws/ http://www.disneycafe.com/disney_sims.htm http://www.simlovelies.net/index.html
Careful of some of these sites. Some Just install them to wherever. The EXEs we have here allows you to change the installation directory. However some just dump them to wherever...
While I agree with you on being cautious about downloads - I have downloaded from all those sites and have never had to search out my downloads - they are usually in the downloads folder or Gamedata/userobjects folder.
Actually I heard they are suppose to goto The Sims/Downloads I've always done that and it has always worked with my game.
Actually, they can go in either place... and I use both. From experience I have found that if you like to organize your objects in different folders (like type or artist) then you are better off using the the sims/downloads folder and creating your subdirectories there. You can create subdirectories in gamedata/userobjects but it will really mess with your game performance. The problem with subdirectores and/or using both /downloads and /userobjects is that you can get conflicts if you are not careful - by simply having two copies of the same object in two different places. I have also noticed that if I get more then about 1000 files in /userobjects perfomance also suffers. On the other hand any time I download a .far file form a site I always put it in /userobjects - I find it often will not load from the /downloads directory. For practical purposes I keep most downloaded objects in /downloads - usually sorted into subdirectories alphabetically and under the artists name for those that have a great many objects to their credit. This way - if I get a conflict all I have to do is run a quick little batch file that loops theough /downloads and looks for two objects with the same name. For .FAR files that I download and for the ocassional file that will not seem to load when placed in /downloads/ I use the gamedate/userobjects but I keep the number of files there to a minimum. :bunny:
I move all my iff files into FAR files in the userobjects folder to increase my load time and keep organized - I don't want that set in there anymore than I can easily take it out. I use the object manager from www.simenhancer.com
Actually, I'm pretty sure they are really supposed to go in GameData/UserObjects. Why else would Maxis create that folder?
No idea. But a lot of sites, including Simsplus and Myself, and maxis has the items going to The Sims/Downloads. I know maxis does that since I disassembled one of their EXE files
