Most sim sites zip up their object files. This how to will show you how to unzip your files for WinZip in classic mode.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Varies
Here's How:
- Click on the link for the file you wish to download.
- A window will pop up asking you what you want to do with the file. Make sure you have "Save this file to disk" selected.
- Click OK.
- Choose a location where you would like to store the file.
- Click Save.
- Once the download is complete you will see a window with the choices: Open, Open Folder, and Close. Click Open.
- Winzip will automatically open the file. You will see a line of icons on the top of winzip window. Click the Extract icon.
- A window will appear asking where you would like to put the file. When installing an object choose the following path: c:\program files\maxis\thesims\downloads\
- After choosing the location the extract window will go away, and you file is in the correct folder.
- Close out the program.
- Next time you run The Sims, your downloads will be available.
Tips:
- Create a special folder for your sim downloads. If you plan on downloading a lot, it is best to keep some type of order. I suggest organizing files by the website they came from.
- Always back-up!
