==Q-Xpress Tutorial==

Q-Xpress is a tool that installs game content for the Sims 2 either by downloading directly from ModTheSims2, or from your local hard drive (or even a USB drive). It is Beta software, meaning that it is still in its testing phase.

The program can install the following files automatically:
* Zip files (.zip)
* Rar files (.rar)
* Sims 2 files (.sims2pack)

To download Q-Xpress, go to it's [http://www.q-xpressinstaller.com/ Official Website].

For troubleshooting, please see the [http://www.modthesims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=442 Official Q-Xpress Support Forum].

==Overview==

Q-Xpress performs two functions:

* The MTS2 Install Feature: It behaves like a "shopping cart" while you browse MTS2's downloads section, allowing you to accumulate desired downloads and install them in one click.
* The Local Install Feature: It allows you to install files that you have already downloaded from other sites.

==How to Install==

To use Q-Xpress, you need to save/download the program to your computer, then install the program on your computer.

'''Quick Explanation:'''

* Download Q-Xpress from [http://qxpress.modthesims2.com/ here].

* Install Q-Xpress.

* Use Q-Xpress. Refer to the next chapters in this article.

'''Detailed Explanation:'''
