If you own Double Deluxe make sure you have saved custom content to Documents > EA Games > TheSimsTM2 Double Deluxe > Downloads instead of the Documents > EA Games > TheSims2 > Downloads.
[edit] Enabling Custom Content
Many problems with custom content failing to show up are due to having not properly enabled custom content.
[edit] How to Enable Custom Content
[edit] Enable Custom Content in Game Options
- Load Sims 2.
- Click on the Game Option Button which looks like a little gear or cog.
- Set "Catalogs Display Custom Content" to ON.
- If you have Nightlife or later expansions, set "Display Custom Content Dialog at Startup" to OFF.
[edit] Restart the Game
- Close Sims 2 completely - exit the game so it is no longer running.
- Then, start it again, i.e. restart the game.
[edit] Test
- Once the game has loaded after restarting, go into Create a Family or a lot and see whether your custom content is showing up.
If it is still not working...
[edit] Do it Again
Often custom content will not begin working after enabling and restarting just once. You will likely have to enable and restart a second time (as described below) for much of your custom content to show up!
[edit] Enable Custom Content Again
- Go into the game options as you did above and make sure that the settings are still correct - "Catalogs Display Custom Content" is set to ON and "Display Custom Content Dialog at Startup" is set to OFF.
[edit] Restart the Game Again
- Close Sims 2 completely once more - exit the game so it is no longer running.
- Then, start it again, i.e. restart the game. This will now be at least the third time running the game.
[edit] Test
- Once the game has loaded after restarting, go into Create a Family or a lot and see whether your custom content is showing up.
If it is still not working...
