−	~~==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).
