-==Detailed Instructions==
-Don't understand?  Here's the simple, step-by-step "for dummies" tutorial:
-===Step 1 - Get a ZIP/RAR Extractor===
-First, you will need a program that can '''extract''' from both ZIP and RAR files.
-====Windows====
-We recommend [http://www.rarlabs.com WinRAR], which is "nagware".  That means that you can use it for free for a period of 45 days, and after that you can continue using it free - it just nags you to pay for it, but you don't have to pay anything to use it.  Download the installer and run it.
-You can also get [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7zip from 7zip.org] and use that. It opens .zip, .rar, .7zip and other  types too and it's free.
-===Step 2 - Download the Sim File===
-* Click on the .sim file link.  Save the file to somewhere you can locate it easily - your computer's Desktop is the easy, because you can simply minimize your windows and find it there.
-===Step 3 - Extract the Sim File===
-Once the file has finished downloading...
-* Go to where you saved it (like your computer's Desktop).
-====Windows====
-If you got WinRAR, you should be able to just '''right-click''' on the file and choose '''Extract Here'''.  Then you should have a new file below the RAR.
-===Step 4 - Identify File Type===
-Now, you need to know what type of file you have.  The easiest way to do this in Windows is to right-click on the file and choose Properties.  On the window that pops up, it will say "Type of file:" and then some text after that.  For sims, there are two options on file types they might be: SIM files or SIMS4PACK files.
-===Step 5 - Install the Sim File===
-====SIMS 4 Sim Installation file====
-Windows 7
-* Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.
-* Extract: Use WinRAR (Windows) or 7Zip to extract the .package file(s) from the .rar or .zip file(s).
-* Place in Downloads Folder: Cut and paste the .trayitem, .hhi, .sgi and.householdbinary file(s) into your Tray folder:
-** Click on Start > Computer.
-** Click Libraries > Documents > My Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Tray
-** Open '''Tray'''
-**  Place the ''' .trayitem, .hhi, .sgi''' and '''.householdbinary''' file(s) into your Tray folder:
-<!--
-===If you have a SIMS4PACK file===
-* Go to [[Game_Help:Installing_TS4_Packs|Installing Sims4Pack]]
--->
-===Step 6 - Play!===
-Hopefully, the above steps should have worked just fine, and you can go ahead and play with your new sim in-game!  You will find your sim in Create a Sim, in the premade sims bin in the appropriate category for gender, age, etc (as specified by the uploader).
