==What to Watch For==

===Meshes/Recolours===
Content that requires a new 3d model to work will generally say "mesh required." On MTS2 the links to required meshes will be at the bottom of the post. Other sites vary in how clear they are on meshes required. Make sure you get the mesh if you are downloading something that needs one that's not included in the game.

===Compatability===
Content may require a certain expansion, and with hacks and hacked objects, may be incompatible with certain expansions. Read the post and look at the expansion icons for details.

===Content Not Included===
Creators of certain content may not allow it to be distributed with lots or sims, so creators of lots or sims may remove certain content. Their creation will then not display as they intended, unless you download the content they removed. They will generally say "required but not included" somewhere in the post, with links.

===Special Installs===
99% of content will install in one of two ways, explained below. Sometimes, though, there are things like lighting mods, cheat files, etc., that install differently. They should have instructions on the post.
