    in The Sims (2000)
    Quick question.. sometimes if i download and un-zip a file( Usually like walls, or re-colors) It puts a sub-folder is my downloads, then I typically go in the folder, cut everything out and put it in the downloads folder.. But my question is, since the lets call it.. "Pretty walls" sub-folder is in my downloads with all the CC in it.. will it work if I just leave it in the folder? Or am I gonna always have to take time to cut and paste? Thanks!

      You can definitely leave them in the folder you created by unzipping and they will show up in your game just fine :)

      You're welcome and hey, perhaps you can even install The Sims 2 file maid too, for even quicker unzipping. You just drag your zips, rars, whatever to the program and the program automatically unzip it for you.

      What you should do is have at least two sub-folders if you download anything that would go into them:

      Mods (or Hacks) and Defaults. Mods can easily conflict with each other and it's easier to make sure you've removed all of them if you keep them all corralled. Defaults you can only have one of at a time. Keeping them together will make it easier should you wish to change your defaults.

      I also have folders for the other various types of CC. Build Mode, Buy Mode, Clothes, Hair, Lots, Sims, Make up.


      I would also have a folder called New CC once you're done with your first round of CC binging. That way if you download anything new and you don't like it or it causes problems, you can easily find it and remove it.

      Yes, it takes more time, but you'll be much happier if something goes wrong.

      @Godlike I did not know the sims file maid did this! My trial of Winzip ran out the other day and I don't have the cash to buy a full copy at the moment. Thank you!

      Even if these supposed trials run out you can still use their programs though but SFM is all kinds of amazing :)
