Specifically, players should create a file called Downloads in the file within the game. The Sims 2 can be found in a file called EA Games, and from there, it's easy to click and create the Downloads file. Once the player has created the Downloads file, copy the downloaded CC files into the Downloads file. While some CC content works after copying it to the Download file, sometimes another has to be installed.
This usually happens with CC with the file extension. Double click on the file to open the installation window. A Package Installer will open, and gamers will see the name and a brief description of everything they're about to install. The next step is easy: j ust click Install. Even after the steps above, CC might not show up in the game if the player forgets to do one simple step. After adding CC and starting the game, a message will pop up saying that the player has added content into the game and that custom objects are currently enabled.
C hoose the option "enable custom content" and click OK to confirm. Next, restart The Sims 2. After that, the custom content should finally appear in the game and be usable. Check if the CC is indeed available and make sure there's not something missing. Some mods might be broken, or may not work without certain data discs the player might not have. Many CC creators also update their work regularly, so it may be necessary to download a new version of the mod if an older one no longer works.
When checking to make sure all CC works, test the more challenging mods right away. Any CC that rewrites what the game can originally do, instead of just adding extra content such as buildings, clothes, hairstyles, etc. The more complicated custom content can sometimes cause the game to crash without a save. Thus, it's better to test it right away. Before players open The Sims 2 and start using all the additional CC, there are a few extra details worth knowing.
It's also a good idea to back up the game before installing any new mods. The players should also never delete CC that they're currently using. Finally, just to make sure it's safe, it's good to run any CC through an antivirus program to make sure it won't damage the computer.

Click Install to install the content. Custom lots cannot be installed if they were made in a game with expansions that you don't have. Enable custom content and restart your game.
Once you've added custom content to your game, you'll get a box warning you that you have third-party content in your game. Click on "Enable custom content" near the bottom of the dialogue box, and then click OK. Once you've done that, restart your game. Check if the content is showing up. If you see the new content with a star in the corner of the thumbnail, your content is working!
In Buy and Build Mode, things are sorted by price, so you might need to search to see if the content is showing up. If only some content is showing up, you're probably missing something, like a mesh or a required expansion or stuff pack. Files themselves can sometimes not work, but this is uncommon. Default replacements won't have the custom content star, but will show up in place of the original game content. Method 2. Check a mod's description for incompatibilities or required expansions.
Because mods alter game code, they can require certain expansion packs to run properly, or have different versions per expansion.
If two separate mods change the same code, they can also cause problems when used together. Read the mod description thoroughly to see if the mod requires any expansions or is known to be incompatible with other popular mods. Download the mod. Some are also shared on other sites, like Tumblr. Some mods have multiple versions depending on what expansion or stuff packs you have. Pick the one compatible with your latest expansion pack.

Place typical hacks in the game's Downloads folder. Most game hacks don't require too much tinkering, and can just be placed in the game's Downloads folder like you would with normal custom content.
Always place hacks in a separate subfolder from other custom content. If the hack starts causing problems, this will make it easier to remove. Follow the installation instructions for other mods. Some mods require you to change the game's install files. You'll need to open the drive that you installed your game on, open Program Files, and then find your game directory to adjust it.
Your game directory and what files you modify will depend on your OS, your version of the game and the mod you're installing. The instructions will tell you where the specific mod needs to go. Once you've added hacks to your game, you'll get a box warning you that you have third-party content in your game.
Check to see if the hack is working. Some hacks make changes that aren't visible unless you look at the code. However, many hacks alter a fundamental part of the game, like enabling teen pregnancy or showing previously-hidden interactions. Test out a function related to the hack; if the Sim is able to complete the action and nothing goes wrong, it's working! If your Sims "jump" or don't complete actions, there's glitchy behavior that wasn't previously present, or the game crashes, the hack isn't working.
Make sure the hack you're using is compatible with your game version and other hacks. Go into game settings and where it says "enable custom content", click on the disable button.

Create a copy of them all in another folder, then delete them all from the mods folder and restart the game. If it runs OK, then exit and slowly re-add the mods back in batches of five to ten. Open the game with each batch you add; if it works, move onto the next batch. If not, then it is one of these that is the problem. Remove that batch from the mods folder and then repeat the above process with each mod individually. Delete the one that causes the crash.

I bought the game, so it's not on a torrent. I did skip over the Mod and Hacks thing. Is that the problem? Make sure the option for custom content is enabled in-game, otherwise the game will not recognize any foreign files in your downloads folder. An easy way to tell is to enable the option where a directory for all installed custom content is opened whenever the game is launched.
