Sharing your homes from "The Sims 2" is an easy process. Within the game you can package lots, so they are ready to be shared on your website, emailed to friends, or uploaded to The Sims Exchange.
Difficulty: Easy

Here's How:

  1. Start "The Sims 2."
  2. Open the neighborhood that has the home you want to share or upload to a website.
  3. Click on the house.
  4. Click on the info icon.
  5. Click on the icon on the top, looks like a star with an arrow.
  6. Choose whether you want to package the house and upload to exchange, or package so you can upload to a website.
  7. If you choose upload to a website, the house will be packaged and be found at: my documents\ea games\the sims 2\packagedlots\.

Tips:

  1. Once the house is in the packaged format (.sims2pack), gamers who download your house only have to double click the file to install it. The house will appear in the lots bin in the Neighborhood screen.
